Log kaya kahange. To hell with them. Will they give me 2 lakhs extra to spend on a bigger hatch back. Will they foot my high petrol bills if I purchase a bigger car. Will they pay my EMI of Rs 6500 per month. Can I drive in the city at more than 60 km/hr.
All the above answers are an emphatic NO. So why the hell should I go for a bigger car.
Swallow your false pride. Nobody gives two hoots if you drive a Skoda or a Merc.
This Nano is perfect for pragmatic non-show offs. I was paying Rs 6500/- per month for my big Maruti car. I am planning to sell it and purchase two Nano standard cars, one for me and the other one for my wife. My father has already dumped his bigger car and has purchase d a Nano standard without AC, since Bangalore has got a pleasant weather. We are happy. Less petrol cost.
Excellent handling. Excellent parking. I took the car for a test drive and found the handling as good as any car. So bloody what, if I cant put a extra-large suitcase in the boot. How many times will you travel long distance. Any way I feel it is foolish to pay 2 lakhs extra just to keep a big suitcase. I am guilt free when I drive a Nano, because I am aware that my carbon foot-print is much lesser than the moron who slumps in the leather covered seats of his luxury car. I got 26 Km per liter in the city, 24 in hill driving and 28 Km per liter on highways. The Nano is more environmentally friendly.
On the whole it is a simple car for people who believe in simple living and high thinking.
