Update: Odo at 3450kms: FE: 11.07kmpkl and 11.34kmpl First was high speed runs and I expected less than 10kmpl. Had to top up tank today as I got System D and hence checked mileage at 1/4th tank. Paid 350rs for a pair of Bosch Wipers. They rule! A must have. I will be getting butter scotch / beige color seat covers soon. Do you guys have an inputs/comments regarding the color? | |||||

| ![]() jk, I am having butterscotch color seat covers. Looks fantastic. Will try to post some snaps. Only grouse gets dirty very fast especially with my kids aged 4 and 8. I have to keep cleaning them with soft detergent very often. In your case that worry is not there at least of now. |

| ![]() Hi folks, Well I have been reading through this site for quite sometime now ever since the first rumors of the new 2.2 started gaining credibility! I must admit am joining the gang a bit late; had bought a 2.2 EX, light gold in Dec 07! Have clocked almost 3000 and wow what a 'beast' it is! No probs till now(touch wood)! Don't regret my decision to having bought it after almost waiting for a year!! u blokes are right, this beast just grows on u! drive safely and bully all those lesser mortals around u..lol....... cheers: |

Do post your pictures, and please give your riding experiences, the FE, etc..... EDIT: ADC had been to Siliguri immediately after his purchase. The Safari thing is not contagious is it ?? Last edited by kingshukt : 21st April 2008 at 13:25. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Congrats Zulu, we have a lot of 2.2 owners on Tbhp now. Do post pics. I agree, this car just grows on you. Most people still think that safari is slow (TCIC image) but when they see the new 2.2 moving i am sure they are zapped. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Just out of curiosity I checked. There are 228 Safari owners on the forum and 120 members out of them have never posted a single message. Talk about silent majority. ![]() ![]() |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() After reading innumerable posts on Safaris (JK's as well as others), why do I keep getting the impression that: 1) the Safari is not to be driven around like a 'car', 2) that you can't 'rush' to office in this but that it is rather for a more staid, leisurely drive to an outing with the family, 3) that it's best only for highways, 4) that you can't have it as the only vehicle at home? |

| ![]() Thanks guys! shall post u all some snaps pretty soon. as far as the FE is concerned, have been getting a steady 13.5-14 which is a mix of city and highway driving. The beast is being fed a diet of Xtramile! Recently did a trip to shillong a 600 kms one way. Took me 10 hours without a single glitch. Best part was that I did not feel tired at all. Could have driven back the same day had somebody challenged me! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

No. Bosch one's are 22inch. OE pairs are of different lengths. Left one is smaller. Maybe 19inch or so and hence Bosch one's stick out a bit..1cm extra. Quote:

2) I reach office earlier these days. I think its coz I cruise at higher speeds. This can be coz I dont feel the speed factor unless I look at the speedo. 3) emm, mixed opinion. 4) Depends. If my wife learns to drive it then it can be the only car. My mom will never drive it. A Premier Padmini fan and owner for last 35years! So, it cant be the only car. I know I owe you people some pix of the number plates and the carpet. Things have to wait as I am busy with work. | |||
