I did, however, notice a damping of the side B-pillar due to water from the roof top a/c console. Not much worried about the drip from the front, but going to check the B-pillar damping... |

Now, I have a basic question - which is the B-pillar ? The middle one b/w the front and rear doors ? |

Harendra, I decided on Safari based on following reasons. I am not sure with whom (sales rep) you are in touch with. Call Mr. Shrinivas (sales lead focusing only on Safari) who would be able to explain everything, both + & -. Also, insist on 2010 VX test drive that arrived on Feb 19 or 20, 2010. Its a 4X2 version of VX model. I had 3 rounds of test drive - 1 on outer ring road (KR Puram to Malgudi stretch) where I topped 100/110. It was a brand new EX (I took it from KHT motors). 2 on Whitefield road (Hoody to Big Bazaar stretch) where I reached 90, but I had a chance to check out its turning radius since one side of the road was dug up. It was comfortable to me then. 3 on where you went (around Forum mall) which was a stupid for Safari :) 2 & 3 was using the Black/Earth GX version of Safari and I think, thats what you would have also taken. Prem. |

Prem ... What is your feel on the interiors, I read somewhere the quality has improved to the 2009 models. Is it possible to reduce the turning radius, I have read a couple of threads where Safari owners have got the turning radius reduced. ... I test drove a Innova and my wifey is inclined towards Innova so I am trying to convince her for a Safari, which is a challenge especially after the first test drive. By the way I am more inclined towards the Safari. |

OK, Today, I filled up the tank after around 15 KMs of City drive (but not a slow traffic at all). I see that the mileage I got from my Tirupathi trip is 12.3 KMPL. I believe, I should have touched atleast 13 KMPL if not of 50 KMs (up & down) Tirupathi - Thirumala hill drive and around 50 KMs of Tirupathi town drive . Any observation here ? |

That's on the expected lines Prem. Even I get the same mileage. The max i got was 12.6 with steady 100Kmph. In the city I'm getting around 9.5. What "Happywheels " getting ~16 is an exception. :thumbs up |

You'll get more if you stick to around 80+/- on the highways in 5th gear. :) |

I doubt if 50kms might have done too much of a difference, but the ghat driving would have. What was the speed / RPM that you were doing? ... |

Most welcome Harendra. So, talk to Shrinivas to get the Black 2010 VX for test drive and you and safari should be able to win quite easily :) Good luck Prem. |

Hi kaviprem, looks like Mr Shrinivas is no longer with Concorde Motors, he has moved to Nissan. I have asked them to call me as soon as they get the Black 2010 VX for a test drive. Anyone who can recommend a Showroom/salesperson for Tata Safari from your buying experience. |

Belated Congrats, Prem, on your 2010 Safari. Saw the pictures, stunning looks. Wishing you many happy miles on your vehicle. By the way, were you able to post more interior pictures? I had joined the Safari club almost 2 years and 28000km ago and am still happy and the 'car' is going strong. -Sunil. |
