2001 Tata Safari EX review from India
"If you get used to it, nothing else will do"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My door beadings had to be replaced from time to time.
My balance rod had been damaged due to off road driving.
Other than that it had no problems.
General comments?
It's just an amazing car for long drives and comfort, no other car of this category
matches the comfort.
The road handling in superb.
Off road is its best, Water, sand, snow, gravel or tarmac it handels it self great.
My safari is also a demo car for the sound-stream audio, so it had been modified.
