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!!

Exterior Good and Stylish.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good and Roomy. Ample leg space both in the front and at back.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Accelerates very well, fuel economy is very good especially if the speed is maintained between 70 -90 kmhr. Gearbox is good, but can be improved as it is not smooth to change the gears.
Ride Quality & Handling Good ride quality and handling is easy especially in heavy traffic.
Final Words Have driven from Bangalore to Belgaum about 500kms twice in past eight months. Each time duratrion of journey time was 8 hours with a milage of 27kmpl. Very comfortable drive. It was driven with one passenger and about 15kgs of luggage. There was a break in journey of about 2 hours in between. Air conditioning was put on for about two hours in the journey and it was very effective in cooling the interiors.
Areas of improvement Suspension and Gearbox can be improved.
