If someone is looking for a brand new car in the price tag less than 3 lkah Rs on road then its nano alone
first we have to list out what we have to compromise as compare to mid range hatchback cars in the immediate next price tag above 3 lakh is
between 4 and 5 lakh that is alto 800 and renault kwid both cars cross above 4 lk and below 5 lk
compromize lists
1] safety
2] speed and vehicle stability
3] space, seating and vehicle comfort
what u gain
1] fuel economy
2] Good resale value
3] amazingly driving and parking comforts
4] its really reliable
honestly there is no other car in this price tag hence can’t compare this car with other cars, however there are some reviews comparing genX with alto 800 and kwid which is nothing but comparing apple and oranges, I feel its non sense.
but I would prefer to give you my personnel opinion in nono driving and ownership comforts
1] SPACE [ Marks 8/10]
> the seating comfort is upto the mark in the front and rear, the legs can be stretched strait and virtually the rear and front seating is comfortable than tiago and its competitors
> Boot space is very small but be cautious the Dicky is not worth fit for keeping electronic and food items as it gets heats up badly.
2] Fuel economy [ Marks 8/10]
Very good one will get with all inexperienced driving techs 15/25 in city / high way
3] SAFETY [ Marks 5/10]
A careful man is the best safety device
since its a height and short in length vehicle with all the 4 drum brakes, the chances of vehicle turns around during sudden braking.
during negotiation of the curves especially in the ghat section, all care needs to be taken to avoid the over turn of the vehicle speed must be maintained less than 35 kmph in the ghat curves.
but in the city ride, there is no alternative to this vehicle.
LOOKS and RELIABALITY[ Marks 8/10]
The look is special and it has created its own charizma,
Reliabality 100% with tata service reaches any whare within hours in any south states.
OTHER FEATURES AND FLAWS
> spare wheel is kept on the front space, but the front and rear wheels are different in size it is invited to maintain 2 spare wheels of each front and rear, unfortunately there is no space to keep 2.
> the fuel lid is kept in the front bonet, which should have been kept accessible out side
> Side turn indicators, prematurely resets as we turn the steering wheel which is a safety hazard
if one is accept the above then nano is really worry free vehicle
