The White Elephant

Look and Style  I think the looks, style, fit and finish of the new Safari Storme is miles ahead of the previous Safari Dicor. I am really impressed with it and it's really huge when it comes to size. It is higher than the Fortuner, longer than the XUV and wider than the Pajero. I think when it comes to size, the Safari Strome gets full points. When it comes to style, I think the Land Rover-ish look has really made the Safari look a class above. Again, looks and styling are completely depended on an individual. But I personally think Tata has done a good job. Comfort wide, I think there is no need to say anything. It has the best ride quality when compared to any car below 35 lakhs. The pickup is not bad, but not the best in its class, but SUVs are not made for racing. If you want to race, buy a sedan.  Mileage - I have noted the following figures with AC on the full time. Lowest mileage in the city = 11.5kmpl Highest in the city = 13.5kmpl Highway = up to 16.5kmpl The best part of this car is that it is raw and not made for the feature hungry. I think that the some of the best features are in it. The power windows and power folding mirrors work well, Bluetooth stereo acts perfectly for the handsfree phone. The keyless entry - the first click unlocks only the driver's door and the second click unlocks the other 3. One aspect that Tata needs to improve is the engine noise. It is very audible when revved hard. Rest is perfect for my liking.  I am a very lucky guy to have his dream come true so early. This car has completely changed my perception about Tata.
