| Well friends. I am putting my Verito D4 to tough tests. On 15th of this month, I started my journey to Dehradun from Shimla. As the short route to Dehradun (Kumarhatti to Nahan etc) is under heavy repairs, I decided to travel via Chandigarh, Sahzadpur, Kala Amb, Nahan and then to Dehradun. From Shimla to Chandigarh, the journey was very easy and most comfortable and the average came out to be 29.4 Kms/Ltr. From Chandigarh to Kala Amb, again the road was quite good. From Kala Amb to Nahan, the road was full of pot holes. It was difficult to decide whether potholes were in the road or road was in the potholes. The speed was just 15 to 20 Km/hr. Even big trucks were having a tough time. Well the average was just 18.1 kms/Ltr.
From Nahan to Dehradun, the road was somewhat good though for some kilometers it was quite bad.. I returned after two days via Haridwar, Yamunanagar, Ambala, Chandigarh and then to Shimla. From Roorkee to Saharanpur, the road was again full of king size potholes and driving was quite a task. Well, the car took its beating but both of us survived the ordeal. The total journey was about 600 Kilometers and overall average came our to be 22.3 Kms/Litre. Not bad keeping in view the condition of the roads. My car has been through first service. This time I found Verito showing more power and better handling. I hope after second service, Verito will perform better. I may also add the car is solid and is capable of taking good amount of punishment. I am satisfied. Well done Verito.
I may also mention that my plan of organising fun rally of Logan-Verito rally in Shimla had to be cancelled as the local Mahindra dealer refused to give me the addresses of Logan-Verito owners. He thinks that the addresses are National Secrets. He did not have the courtesy to send a formal reply. So much so for the dealer's attitude. Are Mahindra people listening? | |
