LOL this is scorpio and is made by mahindra. it is made for indian customer so it doesn;t have much off roading quality and much power. its only made for lot of show offs and highway driving. dun try to make it a humvee or offroading otherwise ur vehicles suspension and engine will die in few months LOL. scorpio ki jaan mat lo hahahah. get a ford endeavour to do the job. or chevy captiva or a toyota prado they rock. scopio is a mid range SUV.

Hi Guys,

This was my Scorpio. I shouldn't have got into the wet grass in the first place with road tires. If I had stepped on the gas, I would have been moon walking. The grass was damn wet. Obviously the vehicle has no diff locks, but it has got good power for a 2.6 ltr engine. I do off-road with a long chassis 3.6 litre Land Cruiser (Troop Carrier) and my 1965 Willy's. No problems. I just have a meager 8 Years of hard core off-roading experience and am learning everyday.

@discobubbles Lol... Well what I meant was its not actually all that bad... Obviously you cant compare a mid segment SUV to a Humvee... ;) Haha! But you shouldn't just say the car is bad and its not fit for offroading. For India its a good car... So yeah chuck it... :)

@nimushankar what do you mean? i said scorpio is not a good offroader vehicle. its good for city driving but no offroading because of low ground clearance, lack of power, design and chasis and suspensions. although u can do some little offroading with it. but don't try to make it a hummer LOL. that what i said. please think b4 u comment. regards from a proud indian. :D

A !@#$ GUY SCORPIO IS NOT SUPPOSED TO DO OFF ROADING AS FIRSTLY ITS GROUND CLEARENCE IS LOW THEN ITS ENGINE DISPLACEMENT IS 2.6 LITRE HERE IN SAUDI ARABIA OUR CARS HAS EVEN GREATER DISPLACEMENT ! THEN ITS TIRES I CANNOT ABOUT IT ! TOYOTA YARIS HAS A BETTER TIRE SO AS A BROTHER I AM SAYING DONT USE IT PLEASE

[nimushankar]
