      Mahindra is a good company. I like all Mahindra vehicles, especially the Bolero. I want to exchange my current vehicle for a Mahindra Bolero again. Please let me know if there is any exchange offer available.

      I liked everything about it. It also does off-roading, it's a 7-seater and the whole family can travel comfortably. I found it equal to Scorpio and Thar.
