      My experience with the Mahindra Thar has been really good. It is rugged, powerful, and perfect for both city driving and off-road adventures. However, the rear seat comfort and boot space are limited.

      The car is worth buying for me because of its comfort and design. I was surprised by the excellent performance of the three-door Thar. Even the base model has excellent performance.
