My New Sumo Grande (EDIT: And Now with the Inside and Outside Pics of the car)

lijodavis · 3rd April 2008, 12:07

I got the New Sumo Grande Delivered Yesterday.It seems to be the first one from this dealer.Its a GX version and sunset Orange.(The color i opted was white,but it seems not available).Exterior finish was above average i think but interiors with some plastic feels cheap.Like door handles,pads, switches on the doors etc.Comes with alpine mp3 player also ipod cable was given but no USB ports.You won't feel as a huge car when driving in city,Highways u fell very comfortable.I have gone upto 90km/hr,since its in the manual you should not rev up much until first service which is in 1000kms.
Interior was really spacious,I am 6'2" and i feel very good sitting in the first two rows.
The steering has some play i think,little bit problem when going thro congested roads.When i called up the dealer they said they will correct it.Also one reading lamp was also not working.
Will post more details and photos tomorrow.

Yes, it is a 2.2 but detuned to 120bhp (from the 140bhp for Safari)

and then we will hound him for the rest!

Congrats! Was in Mumbai for a day yesterday and saw one around Powai - looked pretty decent on the move - at least better than it does standing still.
Congrats - this has all the makings of a very practical vehicle. Awaiting the pics.
