Steeroid,
since you already mentioned that you will be going for a Common Rail engined car, I don't think maintainance will be an issue or anything like that. Diesel engines have come a long way
We have TATA Indica & TATA Sumo in our family, no issues with maintainance if you stick to regular servicing schedule
But diesel engines being oil burners you will have to check/top up oil level more frequently compared to Petrol cars
there is no problem with cars starting in winter, the only thing is you have to wait for the coil to get heated before you crank the engine (normal for any diesel car) also I don't know whether new Safari will be turbo charged but if it is then you will have to run engine at low RPM preferebly at idle for atleast one minute before starting your journey and before stopping your engine
and last thing for diesel
BE PREPARED to have lots of noise |
