Never lets me down. 3 years and 32000 Kms, What a Car!!!

Its been 3 years now. I am owning a Lodgy RxZ, 1.5 L 85ps the first launch variant, (not the Stepway). What a car? what a comfort? what a mileage? So far haven't spent an extra penny anything additional. My better has travel sickness in almost every car we had travelled except Renault Lodgy. Every drive is refreshing. Even after 8 hours of continuous travel journey isn't tiring. Its a very stable car, be it braking, steering and engine efficiency, absorbing the potholes to make the otherwise bumpy ride to a smooth ride. It has all the features of the a Innova Plus more classier and equally good as Innova in driving performance and stability (older model). I was initially hesitant to buy a newer entrant model car, but then it was already released and tested in Europe. This made me take a confident decision in choosing Lodgy and now after 3 years and I am not repenting of my choice. On highways I always get a very mileage of approximately 19 kmpl on AC. In Bangalore, it varies as the traffic is different at different times of the day. So it varied between 14-16 kmpl, which is not bad for a MUV on AC. Only issue I had was the very expensive Spare parts. Most of the parts are made of India and imported. These materials are assembled in Chennai plant. Thus you have to shell out lot of money as the import rates are in USD and import taxes are additionally charged on the automobile equipment. If the spares available/manufactured in India, then I feel this is the ideal vehicle for India for at least another 15-20 years. On most of the occasions Renault service is Good. There are a few technicians who does a real poor job and your should unlucky to get assigned to them.
