Mahindra Gusto RS

More at service station than home, spent lot of money on repairs, fed up with bike, just 5 years old. Waste of money, please don't buy it, even second hand if you are getting for throw away price, Mahindra is ok in 4 wheeler sector not in two wheelers.

Best Features: Nothing is best in Mahindra Gusto

Pros: Nothing is good

Cons: Worst Bike

Ever since I have purchased this piece of shit, I regret my decision of buying this. Mileage is pathetic it is as low as a small car ~ 25-30 km. Per litre. Engine performance is below par, repetitive trouble making the engine. In just 3 years, the mechanic has told me to get the Cylinder Block & Piston changed. Apart from cost issues, the bigger issue is unavailability of parts and dedicated service centres even in metros. No mechanic I have come across consoling me for my decision of buying this filthy piece of shit but laughed at me for this senseless decision as if its poor performance is a universal truth... Mahindra,s should not have forayed in TW segment at the cost of public money. I am sorry to say but now I have little respect for Brand Mahindra.

Best Features: Nothing to mention apart from Height Adjustable feature

Pros: Height Adjustable

Cons: Worst Mileage ~30, Worst after Sales Service, Limited Dealer Network, Poor engine performance, Chronic engine issues from starting, In short total waste of Money

The overall experience of driving this scooter is good. It is the first scooter in India that comes with a unique height-adjustable seat. Since I am a little shorter, I have always had a problem riding these vehicles, but Gusto has solved that problem for me. On rough roads, the ride quality is nice so no need to worry about potholes. 12 inches tubeless tyres offer you good handling. The engine is well balanced and I have used this scooter in crowded areas and I get average of 45 to 48 kmpl. It is quite light weight so it is easy to handle. It has 130mm drum brakes which offer adequate performance but not the best feel. The price is also reasonable which can easily fit to middle class person. It comes loaded with an innovative pocket-like storage facility just under the display panel. It's thoughtfully designed and as the name suggests, it has a quick and easy access. The looks are also impressive and can easily allure anyone's attention.

Best Features: Good handling

Pros: Good handling, good value for money, comfortable pillion seat, light weight

Cons: No drawbacks

I am using Mahindra Gusto from last few months. I can proudly say this is the scooter for every height person. It comes with seat height adjustment feature which I never seen in any other scooter. Looks are amazing, it is neither too big nor too small. I like its styling and comfort of course. My sister who is 5 feet, she drive it confidently after setting seat height. One more impressive feature it got is storage near the speedometer. It is very convenient for mobile, as I never missed a call while driving now. Ride quality is good on rough roads. Its tyres offer good grip and most importantly, I am getting 50 kmpl average after first service. On the other side, its seat height adjustment somehow make the storage capacity less in some cases. And many of my friends also doubt its build quality. Though I have no idea about it yet.

Best Features: Seat Height Adjustment

Pros: Looks, price, Mileage, Comfort, Storage space

Cons: Nothing
