I have been using Bolero GLX for the last 12 years. Due to an operated spine, Its one amongst very few vehicles in which i feel comfortable. Over the last few years I have also turned claustrophobic and suffer from respiratory problems. It didn't let me down here either. Plenty of fresh air always ready to greet you with good view of the road, never ever gives you a 'sunk in' feeling whether you are driving or seated back, all this makes you extremely comfortable. Driving within 60 to 70 km speed range with judicious braking, you can get the best out of this member of your family. Ideal for Long distance journey. Its a car, its an SUV. It has been my greatest companion all these years. Greatest and enduring help came when I took her along during my 5 year stint with pilot training schools in Maharashtra and madhya pradesh. It carried everything of mine. right from a gas stove to a mop. It now helps me traverse through the rugged, stony river beds of Beas and Chakki Rivers of Punjab Himachal sometimes wading through gushing waters to reach my scattered farmlands. A once in 6 months thorough check up by your mechanic by sitting close-by (on a chair) to watch over the proceedings, is another delight for a farmer and off-roader. And believe you me; It cements your relationship, both with the mechanic and most importantly with your vehicle. And that in fact is the key to get the best out of your 'mechanical better half'.
Suggestion for M and M: Same Body shape I repeat same body shape with extremely tough bumpers, with better chassis if possible, ABS, EBD, efficient hand-brake, lumbar support seats and audio controls on the steering wheel will definitely extend her dominance in the Indian market.
