2005 Tata Safari DICOR review from Italy
"BMW move because TATA is coming!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Steering made a funny noise, but was arranged by the Tata dealer under guarantee.
General comments?
I previously drove the TATA Safari 1998 model. I just upgraded to the new Safari DICOR, which is available in Italy. It's an impressive 4X4, will never change to another company.
The improvements never stop over previous models. Engine from 2.0TD to 3.0 common rail turbo diesel, and it's very smooth and quiet.
Reverse camera in the mirror, dual air conditioning, leather seats, plastics are very good quality. I drive a Mercedes as taxi driver and the interior quality is almost the same.
So far I had it for a month and half, and have had no trouble.
Anyone who wants to buy a Safari, wait until this model comes out in your country.
