I am the lucky one who got delivery of this car on August 24, 2009 and driving my TATA NANO LX (Champaign gold) in Delhi. This car is amazing at this price point. Its smiley face and soft eyes in the front are very cool.
Three cheers to Mr. Ratan Tata for his efforts to make such a wonderful car for a common man. It is very spacious from inside. Even five people can sit comfortably. I like the turning radius the most. In cities like Delhi this car is very comfortable to ride in traffic. Its HVAC is very effective, as the car is new, No problem with AC with or without load and on flyovers.
The pickup is also good. In the beginning I go to 70km/h only and the stability was much more than expected. The major drawback for this car is its storage space. The engine is little bit noisy but in cabin there is no sound. I think I as well as you can compromise for the storage space and little engine noise for this indigenous, marvellous piece of Excellence in Automobile Engineering at this price point. You can also opt for extended warranty of 24 months over and above the 18 months warranty provided by the company. After all you can’t expect everything for such a small amount. This car is truly a value for your money product from Tata motors.
I must say that this car is much much better than Maruti 800, Alto and Zen in driving pleasure, internal space, turning radius, seating comfort and mileage off course.
