Very good and excellent experience on my life first drive, very comfortable with a small family, nice looking and economically will buy this car with your family. Very easy to buy this car refer to others for your friends and relatives

 

Exterior Cute Looks, stylish head lamps, excellent turing radius and high ground clearnce

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Literary no bashboard, excellent seating comfort, electronic meters, high leg & head room. Glove box with lock should be provided as a standard fitment. Rear protection for engine should be a stadard feature. I had to spend Rs. 4,200 to fix a rear bull guard (though tough one from the dealer).

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Noisy engine, should have been atleast 3 cylinder engine, smooth gear box.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good but power steering is desirable especially for lady drivers.

 

Final Words Overall a good enjoyable city road car. Some basic features as pointed out above would make it even more better.

 

Areas of improvement

1. Power Steering (for CX & LX versions).

2. Proper Dash Board with Glove Box (with lock & key).

3. Silent 3 cyclinder engine.

4. Rear Engine standard protection.

4. Better rear side (more cushion & heat shield).

COMPACT N SWEET CAR...!!

 

performance, Spacious, comfortableLooks, no provision for luggage

I crossed 20000 KMS in my Nano LX last week. I am giving 100% rating for this vehicle, for those who value money! i repeat value money (Lakshmi Devi!). you want to go around Bangalore for your work, shopping, weekend trips to Mysore, Wayanad or Mangalore....this vehicle is best bet compared to any other vehicles. I owned Maruti 800, Santro LX, Ford Fiesta before. I found this the most satisfying vehicle in all respects. so far, no major issues for the last 2 years. i work in a pvt firm, and my opinion is honest introspection of my vehicle.

when you compare disadvantages vs advantages, Tata NANO over weighs on +ve side only. the cost of maintenance is certainly Rs 1000 or +-200 only per every 6 months. Just take care of coolant, clutch fluid for smooth pedal. do not expect luxury while sitting, Bangalore roads can be best analyzed in this vehicle, humps and humps are easy to clear with good road clearing height. but the vehicle may not have too good shock absorber, which they can improve. the power steering may not exist, but that is not a big thing i felt.

 

Fuel, Navigation, SpeedPower, Clutch, Brake

Hello friends,

I don't believe on the internet reviews about a product. But my tata nano makes me write down some words about it.

Exterior

 Most of the people hate nano's exterior. But, for me, I never worried about the exterior look and I really want a car to protect my family from dust & rain. Although it is like a toy car, its looks is good enough to me.

It comes with tubeless tyres which is good in city.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 I should say much about nano's interior. I never have this much space & comfort in this segment cars. Hope, It has lots of space in it. If you are taller or if you want to drive with elder people, nano is the best option than any other car under 5 lacks.

I picked nano awesome dazzle blue color LX model. It only comes with black interior which gives a rich feel. The AC is really awesome. You can carry two luggage bags beyond the back seat.

I drove many cars in my hometown (it's like a village), but still I have a problem in judging the car position in road. But in nano, the seating position is perfect and the road view is visible well. You can predict your car's position very well.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Obviously, you should not compare nano's performance with other cars. It has very small engine and hope, this will perform well more than you expect. I had taken my nano for a long trip. I drove nearly 1700 kms and I does not see any problem in it. It can reach maximum of 105 km/h which is more enough in city. The pickup is very good and you can not tell there is any lack in it. If you does not believe yet, just go for a test drive.

In highways it gives nearly 23-24 km/l, while in city traffic it gives nearly 20-21 km/l. The suspension is fair. Gear shifting is very easy even though it was not so smooth. My nano does not have the power steering. The use of power steering is needed under 30km/h speed. But I dont see any problems with this responsive normal steering.

Ride Quality & Handling

 As I said earlier, the ride quality is so good. There is no uncomfort in it. Handling is much more easier than any other car. I normally drove car in 70-80km speed. Even though other cars may overtakes me easily in traffic-less , I always win the race finally because, in traffic or in signal, I can overtake the others easily.

Final Words

 If you really need a economical car which should not compromise all the features, just go for nano. It has superb AC, front power windows, central locking system, a very good in-built 4 speakers, bluetooth connectivity, good fuel efficiency.

If you are a learner, and feel afraid about driving, just go for nano. Believe me, its very very easy to drive in city traffic. If you also have situation to carry old peoples, please go for nano. My mom & dad feels very comfort with this car.

If you planned to buy it for a girl/women, buy nano twist. It has power steering which can makes it more easy to drive. Or, just wait for few months. Tata planning to fix clutchless gearbox in nano.

Most of the people worried about nano's safety feature. Yes, you are right. The safety level is very much low. But remember, the same rule is applicable for other small size cars. If you really want to be safe, go for SUV's. Even SUV's can kill you if you have bad time. Its all depends on your driving skills. For city, Nano have enough safety.

You may worried about the resale value of nano. Instead of thinking, just write down your plan in a paper. If you will buy other car, you should atleast spend more than 1.2 lacks than nano's top end model. If you spend this 1.2 lacks for fuel, you can run nano for years!! Let us assume you will sell the car after 4-5 years. You should calculate both cars(nano & another car that is in your list) fuel efficiency, insurance amount (tata provides 3 yrs insurance free with first year payment), maintanance (nano comes with 4 yrs warrenty), accessories price in case of any damage (nano's parts are very very cheap compared with other cars). The final amount will make to judge well. This is just from my experience.

Areas of improvement  

 - The look. When hearing the word "Nano", everyone is saying it is like an auto. Even though it was not, the exterior should need some change.

- Currently some of the colors only have black color interior. All the colors should come with an optional interior color.

- Brake. Even the current drum brake is ok, I expect disc brake as an optional for better safety.

- Airbags. A must optional thing needed.

- The engine vibration is not hearable within the cabin. But it should be minimized even in the outside.

- Smooth clutch and smooth suspension. I think nano twist comes with independent 4 wheel suspension. But I missed :(

 

Think smart friends.. All the best.. Happy driving!!

I drive my friend's car. It gives the real and kind mind of our mr.Rathan tata. Once he riding his car in Mumbai. He saw a family in two Wheeler husband and wife with two children. So fe felt the risk and introduce this for middle class people also own a car. Great man.. I salute him for the taught.

Good driving experience. It is easy to drive for ladies. And its maintenance cost is very low. Pros: low cost Low fuel consumption Good car for city driving Cons: Unsafe for highway

I have allotted Nano-LX and I am eagerly waiting to receive the beautiful Nano car in the quarter Jan - Mar 2010. Before that, I observed the car, who has owned the car in the first allotment in the month of July, 09. Very nice on roads and fuel economy looking very cute. Small family with 4 members, it is very good car and low price also with all facilities like AC, Power windows, Fog lamps etc etc...I travelled in the car for a while, it seems no more compromise with other small mid segment cars in the market....
good fuel economy compared with indian petrol price(around Rs.50/-per litre)sufficient interiors compared with other small cars.
