| My experience after ownership since May 2007: 1) Hard clutch leading to early wear out of clutch: Needs change of the clutch cable. - Yes it is hard compared to Dezire or Fiesta or any other similar models Dont know about Petrol ones but clutch of Diesel is getting difficult to handle day by day - even after wire change. @stu - You cant remove bends in wire as its tied to various places and no way you can remove them Can someone confirm the price of upgrading wired to hydraulic? I am in Lucknow and here they dont even have clutch wires in stock - strange na !! 2) Hard power steering : - Again yes, its hard compared to Dezire. These days I have a chance to park a Dezire daily, and I feel jealous by seing those improvements in Dzire. 3) Vibrations and noise from the dash board and other plastic ... - Cheap plastics always make vibrations and yes Logans have cheap plastics - dont know about verito. 4) Maintenance cost and spare part cost are high. - Well maintenance cost you need to compare through savings in using Diesel fuel consumption, all Diesels cost a bit more. Thanks, | |

| 1) Yes the Clutch is hard and I am looking for an upgrade to Hydraulic too(Guess if not possible, I still can live with it! Not terrible!). Dunno the cost though 2) Hmm yes the Power steering is a lil harder than most but it feel good on high speeds! Not very hard that it'd keep bugging you! 3) No Noise or Vibration from the plastics. Had that issue earlier but no more after the alterations were done! 4) Havent quite experienced costly spares. Infact have read reviews in all leading auto magazines stating maintainance is not really a concern in the Well built Logan! I have similar thoughts. | |

| I agree on the points with Saumil.
I like the heavy steering over 60kmph. It's not that bothersome even at traffic speeds.
Hard clutch, I wish they did something about that, but I can live with it.
Am having some plastic vibration issues but service guys take care during each visit. The solution always last till about the next service time.
Havent bought many spares except clutch wire, brake pads and a tail lamp. So not felt the pinch so far. | |

| I tried Power steering on a new Verito, to my very surprise it is very very light than my Logan. I strongly feel they have made some adjustments to steering in Verito. Can anyone please compare and confirm? | |

| Actually above 60 kmph all steerings become power steering (even NON power ones too due to less friction), the real test is in stalled, traffic and low speed conditions and I am proud owner of Logan but still I will say it fails in that. Even you cant even compare with their other products Scorpio & Xylo. I wish if I could confirm the clutch change but useless people here in Lucknow dont even know about general maintenance, coz same people service Marshal, Bolero, Scorpio and their Tempo's (A Automovers). | |

| I am returning after a long gap. My Verito has done 13000 in 8 months in all types of weather and roads and is going strong. I am getting 18 Km/Ltr in city and 23 to 24 Kms/Ltr on highways. Sometimes even more. It is a good car and I am fully satisfied. Only Mahindra people in Shimla do not know how to wash the car. Very funny. So I purchased a pressure pump and my peon does a better job of washing my car. If one handles this car properly, then one will not find any problem. Good luck. | |

I do not understand why you have a concern regarding the Logan going into a bad shape! And that too being a new buyer. My Logan is 4.5 yrs old now. And it can still teach many a cars even from upper segments on some road behaviour. I'm not saying its the best, but it definitely is well worth for what I paid. The body will stay where it is supposed to stay. Put your concerns at bay and enjoy your drive. - drkeshav wrote:

If one handles this car properly, then one will not find any problem. Good luck. Nice to see you back Dr.Keshav, After 4.5 yrs, my logan still gives me 18kmpl in cuty with AC ON 95%. My highway mileage has come to 18-20. Not that the car has changed. Its just my driving habit. From my earlier speeds of ~100 I have moved up to 125-135 :-p That in actual would be around 110-120. If I manage to drive between 80-100, it can still juice out 25kmpl. Regarding Mahindra Service, I agree completely. Those guys need to get their basics right. I do not want a delight. Just crisp service as per request. | |

| I have couple of friends who also use Logan and the main issue is with Clutch . Its very hard, dont know if overseas models have the same problem. I have replaced 3 clutch cables in last 3 years . Except for Clutch its a wonderful vehicle. Got the best engine of its class, great mileage and very good handling:) . | |

| I think this is because your Clutch goes a different rout than ours does in Europe Because we sit on the other side of the car and our clutch cable will not be as long as yours Try and re route it from where it come out and try and have as less bends as possible TRY AND ROUT IT OVER THE ENGINE !!! This should take away a couple of Bends | |

I'd rather let it be. It's not a pain for sure and is definitely livable with. Whatsay? Hell no. its a pain for sure. i have had acute tendonitis because of this hard clutch ( it bacame hard as early as 15000km . My condition became so bad i could barely walk. i drive around 2000 to 2500km each month. I have changed the clutch since then and now things are better. but my Achilles heel yet hurts. For such a wonderfully short clutch travel , its been one of the worst clutch i have used. What martin said is true. i thought of that but the location of the clamp would prevent the cable to have shorter route. ( or any route over engine as it would mean even acute bend before the lock. ) | |

i do not think its to do with your route really. its not as if i was riding the clutch or something. it should've been hydraulic setup no two ways about it. It gets hard with very little usage or time as well. cable clutch is going to get hard earlier. or valeo has not done a good job. i have put a 'luk' made one ( germany not the JV with rane ). let see how long does this last. | |

| I've had my clutch cable changed 3 times in the last almost 5 yrs of ownership. The 1st change was when the car was almost 4 yrs as there was creaking noise when depressing the pedal. The new cable was not all that good and was changed by the dealer in a week's time. Have stayed with that ever since.
The clutch no doubt is harder than most other diesel cars. But I am yet to have a problem with that. | |

| i got my clutch cable changed again @ avis motors yesterday with 36900km on the odo. improvement but still creaks a bit when the vehicle has run a bit. logan has one of the hardest clutches as compared to Manza, ertiga, dezire.
cable cost is 833/ plus taxes plus 250 rs labour plus taxes. | |
