Tata Safari Storme EX (Urban Bronze) - Buying & Ownership Review

[GM88]

Very roughly I'm getting 11(60%highway and 40%city traffic.) Thats very approximate.Will update accurate reading soon.

Thankfully no niggles yet,touch wood. But one of the small rubber bushes from left front door came off. Its a tiny little thing. But besides that, nothing else to complain.

I guess your FE will improve as you munch more miles. Certainly 13-14kmpl should be achievable i guess. Good to hear that your beast is running niggle free.

Any plans of adding alloy wheels on your ride?

Iam going to order one , no the duster does not cause any scratches atall . Btw what means machi ?
Sorry vignesh for hijacking your thread .

 

[Gurrala74]

i think machi means "brother" I hope Raja, Sorry for OT

 

[maranprashanth]

Hey Raja like what we use DUDE in english the same way its in tamil. notting much.
And what was the reason or how and why did you hijack the thread?

EX,LX dont get antiglare IRVMs on Storme.

I am shocked to read this. Do you suffer due to this at night time or the rear door doesn't allow much lights to enter inside the car so as to reflect in the eyes?

vignesh how is your experience to drive this giant in traffic and small by lanes ?.

@WL,Please opine, Don't you experience that shear road presence comes more handy than mere low end torque here?
IMO ith is the road presence which makes it a better city ride.And it is going to be important USP for storme even for urban suv users .what say?

 

[Wanderlust]

Agree completely bro.road presence does give you advantage.
Stripping down such tiny things like anti glare to justify vx is not appreciated but the light entering from back is not that harsh thanks to rear window glass and height.its liveable.

Road presence gives better all round visibility due to height and better judgement as you can see farther. I saw an auto zipping into a blind turn toward me, over a wall on the turn
size also deters smaller bikes and vehicles from cutting in.but the main usp should be the unimaginably tight turning dia delhi guys ll know:my beast turned full 180 in a subway below hudco place.wife goes like:wow! our figo would've needed a three point

+100 WL, yes all round visibility is most important point where lot of cars and UVs will be missing this aspect. This is the major advantage for me when I compare Storm with others and with such visibility it gives me lot of confidence in driving and never get a scary feeling that beast is going out of control with the lack of proper visibility. I have used this word scary feeling some where for some other vehicle and members bashed me enough for that but they have not understood what I meant, may be my presentation was not so well there
