Re: Tata Safari Storme Road Test Review
Read under seat plastics covers, third row plastics and 4 inlets provided in jump seat area, they were already rattling, an under seat plastic even fell off during the test. They flex a lot.
A/C vent quality - both front and rear centre nothing to talk about really, it isnt great, especially the black direction setting knob. The roof ones are good though. Overall does the job well though
XUV seating is much better finished. Its only marginally behind Storme as far as second row goes in terms of thigh support.
Yes![[evil]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Evil.gif "Evil [evil]")
feedback in Storme seems better
more or less same.
They are set up differently XUV has a slight play initially and then bite picks up , the storme is more linear - depends on an individual choice. More or less even stevens!
very difficult to tell without data as we havent done a stopping test and measured, but it would be very close in my view.
Do note I am comparing the new XUV brakes to the Storme brakes, the old ones are no comparison really. Overall Ill give it to Storme as they got it right in the first attempt as opposed to XUV and brake feedback is good as well.
Storme has a shorter throws than XUV, it felt short and slick. More car like. But off course it has one gear less
The 6 speed one will have a clear advantage here,in nearly every gear the xuv will feel more torquey and hence more driveability.
Pretty closely matched with the lower gear sometime a tad hard to engage(that's true for most vehicles), but Storme has shorter throws.
err isnt that same as c above ?
As far as driving fun goes, has to be XUV, 6 speed is a hoot especially the 3rd gear with its super wide range, whereas the storme is set up for cruising and FE.
Again comparing a 6 speed to a 5 speed isnt exactly fair. XUV gear ratios are suitable both for sprinting and cruising, Storme I would say largely for cruising.
In the Storme you have to be ideally in the speed range vis a vis gear but the engine never gives up on you - even an idiot will find it hard to stall the storme, the XUV picks up speed much faster but if not careful you can stall it in gear.
I forgot mentioning what i liked most in Storme - its the ignition vocals - Man in most SUV its electrical/mechanical with the starter motor doing its job.
In the Storme it feels electronic - like a DJ starting the vehicle for you - i loved the ignition note.

Re: Tata Safari Storme Road Test Review
Thanx very much everybody , i had writen a post for superbad which was cancelled. Being a scorpio owner i too urge superbad to go and check the storme there is amazing space and comfort in storme and scorpio cant come close to it .thought process was simple storme looks expensive then it is and we felt its better car overall. Iam a scorpio fan and used it for 3 years but storme is very ahead then scoroio suoerbad belives it or not .and yes i will post the pics the delivery is on my sons birthday.

Re: Tata Safari Storme Road Test Review
Bhargav congratulations, please start a ownership review too glad our forum helped you.
@dharmesh
You have sat in all possible way in storme ,do you seriously think there is a space issue in storme ? You belive your experience more or someone who has not seen the storme ?

Re: Tata Safari Storme Road Test Review
@Raja, I have sat in Storme but not in Scorpio, so I need to confirm the things before making any vague assumptions. And now I am sure about it.![[;)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Wink.gif "Wink [;)]")

Re: Tata Safari Storme Road Test Review
A very warm welcome to the forum Bhargav and congratulation on the new acquisition, hope to see a detailed ownership review from you.
Guys, one humble request, lets not take this thread offtrack with personal comments, lets keep it on the topic, comparisons are inevitable for vehicles but lets discuss about vehicle rather as opposed why someone thinks something. Opinions will always differ, each one to his own.

Ironrock.
My intention is only to get the facts about given vehicles in question.
1- Does storme feels ergonomically flawed vehicle compared to Scorpio ?
2- if some close relative ask you which car he must go for Scorpio sle or storme lx which would you suggest ? And why ?
I assure you this is just to know which car is more refined car and not stir controversy,since guys who like storme if they answer they will be called fanboys and guys who like Scorpio answer will be called storme bashers.
You are the perfect person to answer and iam sure you will be unbiased in your opinion being a non judgemental guy you are as far as I know you .

, so for the same reasons, I have posted the comparison between storm and XUV in the other thread "TATA storm Vs others "
Re: Tata Safari Storme Road Test Review
So IR,
After reading your comments about XUV,STorme and Scorpio,we can loosely say that:
1.Storme has got best in class brakes.
2. Best in class space(for the 5)
3. Best in class turning radius.
4. Best in class ride quality.
5. Best in class off-road prowess.
6. Best in class gear shift(more car like/slick as per you).
Would you agree with the above assumptions?

Re: Tata Safari Storme Road Test Review
What class are you talking?
Here we got only two cars in the segment or price band viz. Scorpio and Storme,incidentally Scorpio is an ancient design.

@ Raja
I never meant Storme is ergonomically flawed, i only meant there is scope for improvement with examples. Its not that the steering is behind your back There is nothing majorly wrong.
Regarding the choice between Scorpio SLE and Storme LX, largely depends on the requirements of the individual looking to buy. The Storme LX does make a good VFM proposition and comes out as a more modern proposition.
I love your questions Xover, you should be in the Ministry of External affairs as a diplomat, all of our foreign problems will be resolved !
At best Storme LX compares with Scorpio(base CRDe) and largely comes out a winner depending on ones priorities (no surprise as the Scorpio is the ageing war horse here ), the XUV stands a full segment above Storme if you put the full package in perspective.

Re: Tata Safari Storme Road Test Review
No I never meant that you mean or said storme is ergonomicaly flawed , if you read the thread some have posted it is without even seeing it so I asked you and your opinion .because if we answer we will be called storme fanboys and if Scorpio lovers post that it will be storme bashers posting to bash the car , hence you the savior
Storme lx compares with Scorpio base crDe or Scorpio sle mhwak ? The Scorpio mhwak sle is 30 k lesser and dosent come with 4 disc brakes and music system and don't know maybe xover knows some kind of abs which as per him best in class .
