I bought my Logan Diesel on 29 May 2007, in very first month when it was launched. Actually I was going to buy Fiesta (doubtful about its service network, Verna I cant afford) and was almost decided but heard that Renault is launching Logan next month and trust me I don't consider Logan due to Mahindra, its only and only due to Renault. If you see European Logan forums you will find people crazy about this car and its performance.

21 days waiting is nothing if you compare a 3 month waiting in some EU countries. Also Mahindra never promoted Logan as cheap car, in-fact they just said "Wide Body Car" a budget one. The problem is our mind because we generally treat car by our status symbol and wealth. Most of the time we buy car by looks & manufacturer's trust (for home use) and not by its performance and use. This is the only cause why Maruti is still able to sell most number of cars. Although I treat Maruti cars as taking benefit of their trust factor not performance.

Someone asked me "why don't you buy Indigo or Indigo Marina?" and I said why I am not buying Tata's cars, can be guessed by anyone, I personally feel that their diesel engine is still not up to the mark and gives up beyond 80 to 90k. Their trademark rear wheel problem still continues. /-----\. The fitments they are offering (LCD etc) can be easily done at very reasonable price. My fundamental of buying a car is "Don't see which you can replace or get fitted through market, see what you can't replace like its engine, axle, balance, handling etc."

Also regarding FE I am also amazed with its performance which I didn't expect (I can show you on board comp. photo). But some of my EU friends told me that its engine improves after 6000 - 9000 KM's and gets smoother later (but make sure you drive at least 15k a year).
