I was pampered by my Hyundai Fluidic Elantra and now switching to Safari's daily quirks feels like a downgrade.

So, I picked up a Tata Safari Accomplished+ 6-seater variant earlier this month. Let's just say, it's been an adventure.
Mechanically, the car's a beast. But in terms of user-friendly features, it's like stepping back into the early 2000s.
Here are some quirks I couldn't help but chuckle at:
- I was pampered by my Fluidic Elantra, and now switching to Safari's daily quirks feels like a downgrade. It's like going from a smartphone to a rotary phone.
- The car's devoid of any one-touch features contrary to its claims. Everything requires a hard press or a long press. Want to lower the power window? Long press. Turning off the fan? Very long press. Folding the ORVMs? A hard and long press. Seat ventilation? You must go through three steps to turn it off, whereas my Elantra used to manage it with a single long press. It's a workout!
- The turn indicators decide to take a break when the infotainment system is off. Yes, you read that right. It's as if they had a union meeting and decided to depend excessively on tech to function. Found out the hard way when my wife tried to restart the infotainment to fix an issue during a drive, and I, the driver, was unable to use turn indicators.
- You can disable the Auto fold ORVM to save the battery from settings, but here's the kicker: they won't unfold when you turn on the ignition (as expected), but they'll still fold when you turn it off. So much for battery-saving efficiency!
There are plenty more tales of woe, all courtesy of some questionable QC. But let's leave it at that for now.
