Safari storme manual#

I actually wanted auto transmission but since it was going to be my father’s primary ride, he wanted a manual transmission so had to go with the flow.

The car booked was an Innova Crysta Z in manual transmission in silver color. Since I had already checked out the car at the showroom, the dealership sent a person to complete the booking experience. The Toyota dealership were not providing exchange service, but they had a private dealer who used to provide services to customer who wanted to sell their car. When I bought V-Cross a year ago, I listened to my heart over mind but this time I had to listen to my brain and the brain was definitely vouching for the Crysta.īefore buying a new car, we had to let go off the Safari Storme first. I was not interested in XUV500 so that left me with these two options only. There are not many options for a 7-seater under 30 lakhs. Innova is a tried and tested product and combined with Toyota's service, it seemed to be a better deal. There are so many Crystas on the road and I was reluctant to be a part of that first, but somehow went to check out the car. Toyota Innova Crysta- To be very precise, it was not my first choice. Since 2005, we always had one Tata car in the garage.Ģ. I was definitely attracted to it and went to the Tata showroom to check out the Safari in person. Moreover, I always liked the Harrier and now a seven-seater version called Safari resembling the same was on sale. The new Safari- The Safari nameplate carries a sentimental value for all the Safari owners, I believe. My requirements were simple and clear, as these days, cars north of 20 lakhs get decent safety features and all the bells and whistles so I didn’t want to complicate my buying experience and wanted to focus on my main requirements. No 4WD- Since all the off-road duties were handled by our V-Cross, there was no point of adding another 4WD into the garage. Diesel- The preferred choice for this purchase was diesel.ģ. I never liked the idea of compact SUVs or compact sedans.Ģ.

7/6 Seater- The first requirement was the car should be at least a 6 seater. Though there was a provision of extension. It was decided to sell the Safari and look for a new ride. As with most of the Safaris ranging from the Dicor to the Storme, they start to show their age when they are past their prime. The car was mechanically good and the odo reading was approximately 1,07,000 km. Our beloved Safari Storme turned 8 years old in the January 2021. Toyota Innova Crysta is not a new player in the field, but an old one that is ruling the sales chart for quite a long time. BHPian raider9990 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
