Tata Safari Storme Breaks Cover (Launch Coverage: Pg.301+)

[THE XOVER]

Re: Tata Safari Storme Breaks Cover (Launch Coverage: Pg.322+)

BTW, a source informed me that Concorde Motors till date have bookings of around 2,000 stormes. Once it is launched pan-India, fig will only go up.Desperately waiting to try out the storme.

Hmmm... I thought the 2000 bookings no.s was from pan India and not Concorde Dealership only! Can you confirm this info buddy?

Because if true it means that Storme will have more than 3000 bookings across entire dealerships!!

And its not even launched in half of the country.

Have you been to Concorde Motors Malad? For TD or to check how good Storme is selling?

was killing time when i had gone to service my scorpio .

People who don't consider TATA, end up buying MnM, and as far as what I have read on internet from last one year. TATA and MnM are not far from each other in terms A$$ and niggles.

as far as i know they are in a big majority who prefer the lesser of the two devils

Can you please give me the source of your information? Any ownership reviews you have been through and these being reported. I know one owner Sanjay, who have happily competed 1000KM and din't have single issue. Now he is going to Rajasthan Tour (approx 5000KM trip). So once he is back, we will get the full detail of problem, issue he faced. Till then just enjoy the thread. And also ask your friend circle and relatives to have a look at the thread. This might change their outlook towards TATA.

the same source from where people here infer that XUV 500 is full of niggles.

Most probably Storme might get 2-DIN HU as an upgrade, If this is true then it is going to stir more Storme.

Is Tata Motors developing new parts for the Safari Storme?

the same source from where people here infer that XUV 500 is full of niggles.

Person who have reported this, was driving Test Drive Vehicle driven for 5000KM. Test Drive vehicle as well know is being brutalized to test the limit. There are some drivers like Vipul who will test the limit of the Vehicle. Question is in this 5000KM, was Vehicle even went for First service that needs to be done on 1000KM? And tell me how many time you are going test the brakes in your personal car and how many times you are going to fiddle around testing the buttons and all moving parts in your car. Answer is when you require it to work. But in TD vehicle, every person will try fiddling around everything he can. Even TD vehicle of Swift that I did a year back, had some bits falling off and it had done only 2000KM on ODO. You are right in reporting the issues faced. But look this as entire picture instead of concluding on what trailer is show to you.

And we as car enthusiast, all know that how TD cars are being driven by everyone, and still one have to explain everything feels bit odd to me. But it is my personal take on the issue mentioned. Let few owners come out with their long term ownership review. And we will be able to assess and debate better.

This news is going to stir the current storme owners for sure

Guys,It is worth waiting for another six month or so.You can have a facelifted Storme and its reliability tested as well.

Tata Motors can sell them as accessories or feature add-ons to existing buyers when they turn in their cars for scheduled maintenance.

BTW how can one incorporate A 2-DIN audio system and a touch screen infotainment system in the current storme?.TATA, Wouldn't it have been sensible, if you had worked on these lines a few months earlier ?

This information is not assuring about anything, they are just assuming that it might happen. And even if it happens, God knows when.

I think so they were under pressure of releasing the product sooner, so is the outcome.

So did you see the storme or took a test drive ? iirc you allways found the Renault showroom deserted when duster was launched .

as far as i know they are in a big majority who prefer the lesser of the two devils

Its about your extended family and friends the we understand ,




the same source from where people here infer that XUV 500 is full of niggles.

What dharmesh said +100 .
And the same source also declares that storme has left Scorpio miles behind , and buying a Scorpio after driving a storme is like downgrading , I hope you must have read that or you missed it ? .

As Gurralla said a new car can have issues , xuv too had door allingment issues , infotainment issues , nbs Mumbai when I took test drive of xuv the car was 300 Kms new the sun visor came in my hand .

That's quite surprising, isn't it? Shows the confidence the buying public has in the Scorp.

Fantastic! That's quite a figure! I don't understand why the marketing guys at Tata are not seizing on this opportunity and can't come up with some stand out ads. The least they can do is to issue a press release that they have X bookings! I am yet to read a single news on Storme bookings in the newspapers.

 

[Raja]

do you have the sales figures of the scorpio in hyderabad to infer what you said.
Making such vague statements do not make for good reading.

You not seeing a new scorpio does not relate to No sales of the scorpio.
All dealers atleast M& M Dealers deliver the car with proper number plate installed on the car.
So because you do not see a temp registration on a scorpio does not mean it does not sell.

If you know how to decode the RTO registration numbers you would know which car is new or old.

I do not know if storme was made exclusively for hyderabad.

The thing is you are "stormed" so you wont Find anything good in others or lets say you will find wrong in all other cars.

Exactly if Gurralla is stormed and can't find good in anything , so are you , you are too in love with your Scorpio so don't find anything better then that and find faults in storme .

This news is going to stir the current storme owners for sure

Don't worry the current owners won't be sad here is a quote from the same article .

The CarDekho report adds that testing of these newly developed parts are underway and are likely to appear on the market in mid-2013. Tata Motors can sell them as accessories or feature add-ons to existing buyers when they turn in their cars for scheduled maintenance.

Re: Tata Safari Storme Breaks Cover (Launch Coverage: Pg.322+)

and which of our members of the forum had to go through any of those "niggles"?

Enough said.
Just to put it as a benchmark since tata reliability thread is taken as a benchmark for tatas reliability.

before going for storme i did my research.i could not gather enough courage to go for XUV5oo though i liked it a lot.just one question i wasnt able to answer abt XUV.

now M&M is replacing everything under warranty(ex clutch ) what after warranty?i cant shell out money on so called fetaures.
its better to go for a upgraded car with required features and has some hope of reliability.
neither i am a M&M fan nor a TATA.
if M&M is such a mature company which has given a product like scorpio(very reliable ) they surely could have made XUV niggle free from day 1.
so if tata is not trust worthy.then is M&M is?

.

so did you miss the conclusion that the reviewer was not convinced to warrant a storme purchase to replace his safari.
Not to forget the mention the presence of panel gaps for a supposedly a 2012 new launch.
As for the majority i was talking about the majority public which reflects in the monthly sales figures.
Regarding duster i had just seen it once and at andheri.
It was not my fault that i found it empty.

Yes I dint miss the reviewer concluded that because the 4x4 vx model is out of his budget , and if its a ex model or a lx model 4x4 he will buy it , and he has dropped his plans for Scorpio because it will be a downgrade .

Yes similarly it is not Concorde malads fault that their showroom was empty when you went there to pass your time .

Btw you dint answer did you see the storme or test drive it ? And what were your impressions ? Since the showroom was deserted iam sure you must have good time to see the storme in and out .

@ Singh890

I don’t understand why people get very emotional and bring XUV and Scorpio everytime one talks about Storme.

Singh Buddy I was responding to a current owner of Storme who was suspecting certain aftermarket installations for some niggles his brand new storme suffered and to address it he had to go to TASS

I was just giving my suggestions and its completely one’s personal choice to take it or not. You can always ignore it which was preferred by that particular storme owner.

When I bought my scorpio,I had also installed ICE and componets [polk/boston] but got it done through ASS by the authorized personals to be on a safer side. But not even for once I had to visit ASS to address any related issues. After a few months of initial ownership and when I had full confidence on my vehicle and ASS, I did a few more MODS. My Scorpio proved very reliable until today, after 3.5 years of exciting and blissful ownership.

I hope Storme too proves reliable at least as good as its competition.

Which niggles and which storme owner had to face it ? Is it from our forum ? Or did I miss something ?

People compare the storme with Scorpio and xuv because it comes in the price braket in which both sell , so the comparision there is nothing emotional here , it is just a attempt to find which is more vfm or a better car just this .

And congrats for a wonderful ownership of Scorpio , when are we getting a nice ownership review from you ?

there was a squeaking sound from somewhere (most probably from doors) when storme hit potholes.next day i gave it for service after that no such sound was observed,may be it happened because of wiring installation for the amp/woofer.
now its fine.

there are plastic covers on diver and co driver seat belt buckle .1 came off in first week of my storme but could fix it back easily after that its in place .

now the other cover has come off i need to fix it back.apart from these things everything is in place.

And what is a big deal in it ? It got fixed right ? See the issue here is there have been many niggles , many replacements in xuv no 1 makes issue but anything with tata its a big issue .

Iam not saying you are making a issue iam saying it usually happens . And I don't even blame mahindra for it too ,because only real world usage tells which components are better and which are not and after many replacements they too are trying to get things perfect . So even xuv brand new car had niggles and was taken to showroom in the very first week .( I can say this with authority here because my very best friends xuv had its door locked by itself and it had to be taken to mahindra a.s.s to be rectified it was for 2 days then again back only after 2 attempts they got it right )

Iam not saying storme is niggle free , iam saying its early to say its with huge niggles or its reliable .

Whatever impressions are posted here are initial impressions , and all have critized the storme too for its weakness and applauded it for its strength .

How it behaves in course of 6 months to 1 year is yet to be seen .

Raja, you are getting me wrong.My post was not to project those as BIG storme niggles but to suggest that excessive MOD jobs in a brand new vehicle could be risky and could void warranty on certain parts,whether it is a tyre upsize or altering any of those OEM electricals. Especially if the TASS is not very cooperative it could be worst.
