What I like about my Tata Safari XZA + after 4000 km of ownership

I had also become apprehensive about my liking towards the car but I feel now it was only a matter of adapting, coming from super smooth Hyundai Verna petrol.

Hey Friends,

Have been wanting to write a proper ownership review of my Safari XZA+ Adventure in Orcus white. However, just not getting the bandwidth to do that. In my earlier posts, I did mention some initial issues I felt (not niggles) around the stiffer ride, steering left pull, and a couple of software bugs. I had also become apprehensive about my liking towards the car but I feel now it was only a matter of adapting, coming from super smooth Hyundai Verna petrol.

But Safari has so many things that I am in love with:

• Amazing Street presence and looks - Adventure edition with blackened trims takes it to another level. Still an eye turner I'd say.
• Lots of torque and power at the tap - never feels underpowered even in City mode
• Nice interiors and features
• Huge panoramic sunroof
• Superb ICE setup
• Space management except for the boot
• 2nd and 3rd row seats with stadium seating. The family just loves it
• Ventilated seats - my favorite and 'always on' no matter what the weather is like

Dislikes - Few. But I'll keep them for another day.

In summary, the beast is growing on me and I now look out at every opportunity to take it out on the roads. Gotten used to all its quirks - there are not many. And boy o boy, it's a hoot to drive on the open roads and highways. Solidly planted and I actually love the feedback from the Hydraulic steering.

Yes, I am in love with the car, and no major issues so far, not many niggles either. Experience has been smooth for the last 4 months. And I do turn back at her every time I park her in the parking:

I'll write more someday in detail, but for now to mark my 4k km with this beauty, here is a casual pic from this morning

PS: There are no tints on glasses although it appears so in pics.
