Been 5.5 years of owing the Tata Safari 3.0 ltr Dicor. It has clocked 50000 km. Its been a pleasant vehicle to drive and own. Have it serviced at the same service centre throughout. Initially, started out getting it serviced every 6 months then after the first 2 years it was yearly service( ~8000/service). Been around quite a bit .... all close places around Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Hassan, Chikmangalur, Coorg, Mysore, Ooty, Kolar, etc...
Average usage is about 80 km / day.. (with some non usage in between). Average mileage is 10km / lt in city and 13-14 km/hr on Highway.
Very spacious for a family, lot of legroom. During the first few days after buying, everyone around put it down saying it was a bad choice compared to scropio. Had it in my mind for a long time. but as time has passed, I can clearly say that my decision has paid me well.
Value for money in that price range. I’ll put up a picture of my Safari soon.
Love My Safari.
