The man is simply trying to provide some sincere help to another member. Even if he is being a little pessimistic, it will eventually come as a pleasant surprise to the new owner. Please also check out TSK's threads about his ownership experience. So who is right? | |

There will be niggles in the first few months of a Safari ownership - my experience says so. Take a look at my ownership thread: http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/test-d...ng-report.html The positive of this is that post the 3 month / ~7000 km mark, I have not made a single unscheduled visit for a niggle. I won't list the broken tie-rod bush at ~40000 km as a niggle. Was discussing this aspect of Safari ownership with some friends the other day - if you buy a new one, you find out for yourself what the niggles are. If you buy a used one, esp. one that has done decent mileage in the initial months, the previous owner would definitely have sorted all niggles out, if any. Service costs are measured in terms of distances. If you measure in terms of time, you are not driving enough. No idea about the service costs of a Honda, though.

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Missed the tyre burst bit - kids needed adequate refueling at frequent intervals ![]() Pressure ? Hehe, not really - have already made my mind about *a* Safari. Whether its this one or not will - well - "take its own course". |

If it's a direct fall on to the bonnet, it can only happen in tailgating situations. If it is a bounce, then what Headers has said is quite correct. The Safari in this case would take the hit somewhere on the front grille whereas a low slung sedan would have it landing on the bonnet! Does that sound right? | |
