not sure why the disappointment, you have so many cars out there with the fancy features and are a hell lot more comfortable than thar

notice the protection provided under it: theres no denying that the convertible soft-top looks more badass compared to the hard top, but sound insulation from outside sounds is terrible

4th service update: Its been a while since I updated this thread. Rex has been chugging along nicely. I hit 25,000 km on the odo on 22nd January, and on the same day I set off for a road trip from Mumbai to Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. More on that trip in a travelogue soon. After almost a 3000 km road trip, it was time for the annual…
2026-03-12 3rd service update: Rex is now nearing the 20,000 km mark soon, and because its also a year since the last service, thought it was the right time to get the scheduled 3rd service done. Booked the appointment on the Mahindra app for 9.30 am at Modi Mahindra Thane and reached the service centre at 9.15 sharp. Was promptly attended…
positive2025-03-15 So I have hit the 10,000 km mark in approx 8 months of ownership. Actually this milestone would have come up much earlier had it not been for a few media cars I have been driving & also the long term MG Comet that I have in the garage: The odo hit 10k this morning and off it went today for its 2nd service @10000km. I chose Mahin…
positive2024-03-15 After reading each and every word of GTO's and Phoenix's review and drooling at the pictures I went to take test drive and booked a Napoli Black LX soft top Diesel Manual with NBS International Andheri ( same dealership from where GTO bought his Thar) on 31st July 2023 and took delivery on 09th August(yesterday evening). While c…
2023-08-10 50,000 Kms update: Finally achieved the 50k Kms milestone with the 3507, big relief is that this ownership duration has been trouble free thus far. Right from the highway drives, to driving onto the path less taken, weekend off-road sessions, the thar has done everything without a fuss. The first year saw less usage and there ha…
2022-10-28 3 Years and 47,102 Kms completed: Well have completed 3 years of ownership with the 3507, it has been a fantastic journey so far. Its been doing daily drive,off road outings, trail and road trips. In these 3 years have even spent 16-17 hours in a single behind the wheel, took some time to adjust initially but then once I got adj…
2022-08-08 The Thar has been an absolutely fabulous beast to own till now. During the lock downs, I sometimes do not have an occasion to even start the car for many days, even up to a week and this is absolutely no problem, even with steady rains going on in Chennai. Car always starts at first crank. Got my second service (10,000 km) down…

On buying and delivery
Hello folks, This is my first post here, and Im excited to share it in this thread. I have procured a three-month-old, 790 km run, Thar 2-door RWD diesel in red, with the plastic seat covers still intact. This is the first used car in my family. I had gone to the Mahindra showroom to book a Thar 2-door RWD diesel in red, but the…

On living with it
My family comprises me, my wife and my 6 year old daughter. I'm seriously considering replacing my diesel WRV with the Thar 2WD. My usage is 90% in the city and 10% on highways upto 300-350 kms one way with family, upto 600-800 kms alone or with a friend. I really liked the front visibility that the Thar provides. Helps staying…

These are figures Mahindra Thar owners published themselves over roughly twenty years, normalised and checked for plausibility, alongside a priced parts catalogue. They are a guide to what others paid — not an audited price list, and not verified invoices. Each figure shows the number of owners behind it so you can weigh it yourself.
