Tata Nano 2012 LX

I bought Tata Nano LX Mojito Green from Tafe Access Ltd., Coimbatore on 01.02.2013. Overall dealer experience was good. Dealer given accessories: Floor Mats, Mud Flaps, Number Plate and Car Cover.

I drove the car 500 kms, it gave me 18 KPL in City and 23 KPL in High way(80% of the time with AC).

I would say Tata Nano is Best Priced or Value for money Car.

Purchase decision:

Initial consideration was Alto 800, Spark and Eon.

In my mind, always comes Cute Little Nano why not, whenever I saw in road, and then I went for test drive. Totally I convinced to Tata Nano 2012 LX model. After this, I discussing with family & friends. 95% of people said not to go. But my mind and heart fell on Tata Nano 2012. I am happy with Cute Little Tata Nano and made a good decision.

Reason/Pros:

1. Looks cute little from outside view, inside more spacious car.

   
   




2. More leg space for Front Seat passenger as well as Back Seat passenger and more head space.

   
   




3. AC works very fine. It chills the cabin very quickly in morning and evening.

   
   




4. Steering I felt easy for normal usage as well as parking speed may be due to Nano 2012 model.

   
   




5. Folding back seat now they gave only one strap needed to be pulled. It is easy.

   
   




6. More storage spots in doors, front passenger seats and two cup holders in front of gear leaver courtesy LX model.

   
   




7. Elderly people found this car easy to get in(ingress) and get out(egress).

   
   




8. Engine is smooth and good performance for city use. Engine sounds good. It is negligible inside the cabin. Initial period I found engine is louder.

   
   




9. Speed brakes never bottom up the car body. Big speed bumps gear should be shifted to 1st. 180 mm ground clearance like Scorpio.

   
   




10. Maneuverability in city is ease & peppy performance from engine. Highway I have not pushed her beyond 70 kph  occasionally 80 kph. Ride and handling is good. All wheel independent suspension makes cross bad roads easily.

    
    




11. Left wing mirror, front & back fog lamps, central locking which is good but not given in ALTO 800 high model as well.

    
    

Cons:

1. Fuel filling under the bonnet. Ignorable, opening and closing taken care by fuel filling person.

   
   




2. Sometimes I find rattling in left mirror if I drive 4th gear under 55 kph.

   
   




3. Small 15 liters fuel tank, but it is manageable

   
   

Accessories added:-

1. Two glove boxes and one with lock from Tafe Access

   
   




2. Pioneer DEH-1590UB CD & USB Head Uni, TS-A935 400W speaker and Pioneer TS-20 Tweeter

   
   




3. Full fixed beige color Mat & Stitched Art Leather seat covers

   
   




4. White LED Parking Lamp and white 24 LED Cabin Lamp

   
   




5. Sun film gareware as per RTO regulation

   
   




6. Car mobile charger

   
   




7. Roots horn, stock horn is not enough sound
