Hey Friends,
Have been wanting to write a proper ownership review of my Safari XZA+ Adventure in Orcus white. However, just not getting the bandwidth to do that. In my earlier posts, I did mention some initial issues I felt (not niggles) around the stiffer ride, steering left pull, and a couple of software bugs. I had also become apprehensive about my liking towards the car but I feel now it was only a matter of adapting, coming from super smooth Hyundai Verna petrol.
But Safari has so many things that I am in love with:
Amazing Street presence and looks – Adventure edition with blackened trims takes it to another level. Still an eye turner I’d say.
Lots of torque and power at the tap – never feels underpowered even in City mode
Nice interiors and features
Huge panoramic sunroof
Superb ICE setup
Space management except for the boot
2nd and 3rd row seats with stadium seating. The family just loves it
Ventilated seats – my favorite and ‘always on’ no matter what the weather is like
Dislikes – Few. But I’ll keep them for another day.
In summary, the beast is growing on me and I now look out at every opportunity to take it out on the roads. Gotten used to all its quirks – there are not many. And boy o boy, it’s a hoot to drive on the open roads and highways. Solidly planted and I actually love the feedback from the Hydraulic steering.
Yes, I am in love with the car, and no major issues so far, not many niggles either. Experience has been smooth for the last 4 months. And I do turn back at her every time I park her in the parking:
I’ll write more someday in detail, but for now to mark my 4k km with this beauty, here is a casual pic from this morning
PS: There are no tints on glasses although it appears so in pics.
