    DRIVING:
    Its my mate since ages

    Exterior Looks very nice and stylish but due to high ground clearance people say it looks a bit unstable.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Tata has worked a lot on interior quality but they have lots more to improve. I like the soft armrests and the plastic touches feels nice but they sound too hollow and I canactually see the molding lines on the woodgrains. Also the gearknob and the power button of our car started peeling off.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I really don't know well as i use a driver but I am pretty impressed about the performance this car shows. The gearbox can be shit or heaven depending on the driver's skill. I find it very smooth so people who has gearbox problems and complain about it just needs to admit they drive horribly.(shifting gears at low rpms,using high gears in traffic ,accelerating and braking like a maniac)fuel economy is not so poor considering it has a tiny engine in a huge car. (It's like playing tennis with a basketball or a badminton raket).

    Ride Quality & Handling I used to ride an elantra and a hundai agera(grandeur)back in korea. I don't know which one but either the poor indian roads or the marshmellow soft spring makes me carsick. It smoothens most of the bumps but after the process the car rolls a bit. As the storme was the most comfortable suvs I've ever rode,I guess im a bit sensitive.

    Final Words I like my car a lot. The giant size and the sturdyness you get once your inside the car makes you feel proud of your car.It has lots of advantages compared to competitive suvs (Ex disk breaks, poeerfull ac,great ride quality) This is a decision you won't regret.

    Areas of improvement Better engine. As i wrote, playing tennis with a basketball with badminton rackets. The basketball is the car  and the badminton racket is the engine.
