Road Respect

Exterior Great. Makes impact and presence is felt on road.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good. However scope exists with company to improve on interiors, especially fitments of TFTs and other electronic gadgets.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox For my being passionate for the Safari, I never was occupant or drove any other SUV. Thus for me it was more of possession rather than trial or experiments. Indeed, I didn't find any disadvantages except for costly maintenance in terms of spares. I purchased in Oct 12 and since then vehicle has achieved 22000+ KM without any breakdowns or failures on road . Of course, I love to maintain vehicle myself. Longest drive during this occupancy has been 570 KMs + nonstop. Indeed it was comfortable drive. However, during one long drive 450 KM, I found AC of the vehicle not responding to desired level. Later was informed by the servicing centre that reason could have been icing on Air Conditioner.

Ride Quality & Handling Great. Again turn radius is too large, Nevertheless, people wait to see you negotiating turns, so don't worry you won't people honking during your beast making reverse or turning in congested or thick traffic area.

Final Words Great purchase only if you have passion.

Good Style, Good Power and ability to make itself presence on road.Turn Radius.
