ஐ know you got soul!

I bought the car as a pre-owned. It is an EX version. It had 94,000 kms on the odometer at that time. I have done close to 20,000 kms. The ownership experience has been wonderful. The torque that the engine generates is just incredible. Driving on the highway is a breeze. It just dismisses small potholes and humps easily. Need to be a bit careful in the curves, but it still can take gentle curves at 80-100 kmph easily. The AC is very powerful and chills the cabin in no time. There is also a roof-mounted second AC. Gives me a mileage of 15.8 kmpl on highways with speeds of 80-100 kmph. The space inside is very good, and the first, and second-row seats are very comfortable. Legroom is superb. Disc brakes at both front and rear give it superb stopping power. During downshifting of gears, remember to rev-match to give a smooth transition and to remain in the power band of the engine. The cabin remains silent on highways because it has good sound insulation. It has incredible road presence and people do give way to a Safari. It is a great thing that Tata has been able to save the original lines of the Safari and still have given it a modern look. Suspension and wheel articulation is wonderful. Cons: Low beam spread and focus is not up to the mark. No space in the front console to fit a double din music system, which is a sad thing. Third-row seats are literally useless and can best be used only by kids.
