    DRIVING:
    Did a short drive once

    Exterior: The exterior of TATA Nano looks good for a good city car like this.  It may look "small" from exterior, but actually, it's interior cabin space is 21% bigger than that of Maruti 800,  a fact that almost everyone knows. Although it's paint quality is acceptable, yet it's paint quality is better than most of TATA cars. The car has been built for city driving purposes and that's why it exhibits a small and cute exterior. Nano looks best in yellow colour. It has small tyres, and we we wold like bigger tyres, because they do not easily pass the big holes and/or a series of big speed-breakers. However, it's ground clearance is sufficient for normal city roads. It has good looking and stylish head-lamps and tail-lamps, and the top varient sports fog-lamps too. It's shape is, honestly speaking, aerodynamically designed, though it attains maximum speed of about 110 km/h. 

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): It's interior is, as stated above, more spacious than of Maruti 800, by 21%. No ABS or airbags, as expected at the price, but one may be shocked to find no glove-box there. Obviously it cannot take as much luggage or load as a SUV, but it can take luggage for a family of 4 persons quite easily. As of comfort, it has enogh cushion on every seat for a good non-aching journey. In the low-end model, no seat can be adjusted by anyway, by anyone, offering a big disappointment to us. High end version has HVAC(Heater Ventilator Air Conditioner), and power windows. Front can be adjusted in it.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Engine sounds like auto-rickshaw, and performance is saisfactory. The 600cc engine is good for a small,light-weight car like it. This engine provides good fuel efficiency, more than 18 km/l. Gear shift is also OK, though at low RPM, it gives up some times.

    Ride Quality & Handling: Ride quality is good but suspension is not up to the mark. The car can also get struck at the road on a big path-hole, due to small tyres. Handling is OK and car is easily drivable in a busy city. However, gear-shift knob is a little bit small.

    Final Words: Nano is a good small car targeted on costumers who want a car in a small budget.It is especially built for a small family car.

    NANO IS A SMALL, FAMILY CAR, BUILT FOR GOOD CITY RIDES AND MANUOVERABILITY.

    TATA NANO - SMALL NAME - BIG FAME    --------    BEST   SMALL   FAMILY   CAR   TILL   DATE

    Areas of improvement: Space, spongy brake feeling, exhaust pipe vibrates a lot, need for a glove box, etc.

    Good fuel economy, good style, value for money, etc.Small tyres, not enough space in back seat, etc.
