Mahindra Renault Logan – Usability Explored, Review

I hate to say that being an owner of the new Mahindra Renault Logan 1.4 GLX, I have a car which is not fully usable. The things which are of my concern.

Is the driver, the master of the Power windows, is he fully in control.

Below is the master control of power windows near the driver window for the Hyundai Accent.

Does the Mahindra Renault Logan door “safety latch” do its functionality, Is my kid safe inside this car.

Watch the first and the second video.

How Mahindra Renault Logan door safety latch works even when child lock on.

Hyundai Car safety latch, how it works

Yo dear, If I am the Driver how do I unlock the engine hood, just scream at the fellow passenger to pull the lever. The lever is placed on the left extreme of the driver.

Hyundai Engine hood and Petrol cap lever right near the foot of the driver.

Just stretch your arms, fiddle around near your leg. You can adjust the light beam.

Problems which you could face, if you owned a Mahindra Renault Logan.
As soon as you turn on the keys of your car and switch on the A/C, you could hear whistling sound.

Seems like that is because of the power steering pump, which does that car wrecking sound, putting you in shame in front of your friends. A brand new car and that too from the power steering, it means either you are bad driver that you screwed up the car or the car, screwed you up, either ways the owner is screwed at the end.

Horrible mud flaps.
don’t know whether it is Mahindra Renault Logan engineers design or the people at showroom didn’t do the proper fittings

Will update you with the photos soon.

Well the Mahindra Renault Logan Engineers need not be mad at me. At least I have done the home work for them. Things can be taken in the right spirits.

Here is my test drive experience on Mahindra Renault Logan

A friend of mine I stumbled upon who has epilepsy, she started a group on SU called `Epilepsy' at http://epilepsy.group.stumbleupon.com/forum/ to help shatter the stereotypes, myths, and unfounded fears that people have about this condition. You can help educate the world and when one of them has a seizure, you will know what to do and what not to do. Ignorance is the problem, be a part of the solution!

Well you can join this group! You don't have to have epilepsy to join. Join Now

An Adventurious ride for 1066/103 Emergency Service

How often do you hear an emergency siren on the road, and how many people on the road can respond to immediately to make way for 1066?.

To tell you the fact many people on the road try their best to respond to the siren, but do they have to give the way on to right or left of the road is the question?.

try following the Emergency serivce (Ambulance) van and you will know how he manuvers like the bikes.
It is absolutely a nightmare for the weak at heart and really adventrious for person who can ride fast, and really agony for the patient and their relatives inside the van.

So what could be best answer to this query?
My answer is that Chennai Police or any Police department is to held responsible or rather accountable for this mess on the road. They are supposed to cultivate/educate the road user when they hear a siren to may way to right/of left of the road. Well actually I would love Police department to decide on whether people should make way to left or right side of the road by making through research of the current road and traffic condition.

If you would like to contribute more on this topic, feel free to add comments, Digg this link, tag this at delicious, My intention is not to popularise this link instead I want the Traffic Police officials to know about the current situations in chennai.

Well, we could save a life. If things change to better
What do you all say?
