Tata Safari Storme SUV Review

By
tata safari storme
Tata Safari came to the indian auto market in 1998.At that time, there was no indian SUV.After 14 years, a new upgrade of this model is getting out ot the Indian market.They are calling it the Safari Storme.Hydrophobic chasis is used in Storme. That made it lighter in weight by 75 kgs.

Design


The basic look of Safari has been preserved in storm.A big grill between the two headlights is present in Storme.On top of the gril a big chromium finish is present and on which Storme is written.In bumper also small grills are added (see image).More clearer and edgy projector headlight lamps lighten up the roads of STorme.Big front and rear wheel archs and the connecting bodylines between them makes the vehicle look like a big one.Silver colour roof rails which was an attraction of old Safari is present in Storme also.Rear design is disappointing.Uninspiring design compared to the other designs.Spare tyre fitted on the rear has been moved to the position under the vehicle.Vertically arranged clearlens tail lamp is the only Suv-ness of Safari Storme rear design.

Interior Design

Tata Aria like dashboard and steering is present in Storme.Biege coloured interiors with good plastic quality.One noticable feature in volume control in indicator switch.The quality of seats is good.Safari has been made more luxurious.A general disadvantages in all SUVs is that the second and third row seats offer lesser traveling comfort.Just travel in the rear seats of Tata Safari Storme and feel the difference.

Engine Review

2.2 Litre engine in old safari and Tata Aria has been retained.Low end performance has been improved.Power is 140 Ps @ 4000 rpm.Torque is 320 Nm at 1700 to 2700 rpm.Gear box is very smooth.It feels that the engine offers more power than old safari.

Tata Safari Storme Test Drive and Review by Autocar India

Driving Experience

Good drivability and smooth driving was experienced.Non SUV users can also drive this big car with ease.Suspension is of first quality and delivers good on guttered indian roads.In four wheeled drive version, without switching off the vehicle , you can change from two wheel drive to all wheel drive.Little turbo lag is present in the vehicle but not that alarming.Lesser gear ration helps in city driving.You don't have to gear down often.Turning radius gets reduced to 5.6 metre in new Safari.

ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA’S VOTERS ID CARD DUPLICATE APPLICATION PROCESS

By
I lost my voter id card issued by the election commission of india. I lost it along with the driving license in 2007. I took Duplicate Driving Licence from the same RTO in 2008.Now I have been postponing the efforts to take duplication voters id card due to various reasons. One election came in between and election people were giving duplicates but I didn’t went. Now local body election happens in Kerala. So I got an information that the election department at the Tehsil (Taluk) office is starting to issue duplicate voter id cards from 08.10.2010.So I drove to mavelikkara  yesterterday  in my Astar and it was raining heavily. I reached there and find a long queue of people.Since I have completed the form before hand, I just need to find my card id number and put the data and place in it.A person employed there took my application form and he checked the number of my family member in the kiosk in the same room. The kiosk terminal didn’t showed my number. So he forwarded my application

Generate your online e-aadhaar card easily

By
Aadhaar Demystified   Aadhaar ,meaning foundation in indian languages, has become a hall of shame  or an object of inconvenience for the common man (aam aadmi). Despite a prominent personality like Mr. Nandan Nilekani at it's helm, India's aadhaar project is an epic fail. UIDAI or unique Identification Authority of India is a ghost body created by the central government.It is yet to get complete legal and constitutional status to discriminate people by providing gas subsidy {LPG subsidy for domestic use} only to aadhaar holders. Why India needed an ID System? India was in the dark about it's own citizen.Infiltration from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Srilanka happens all the time.Politicians provide illegal immigrants (a large chunk are run away criminals and terrorists) with indian election id cards inexhange of votes / money. Some crooks were eating up subsidies designed to reach deserving common man [aam aadmi] by forging fake documents and multiple accounts.
