I wanted to buy a diesel TATA nano and Right now I have purchased a used Tata Nano which was driven some 14000Km. I serviced it once after purchasing it. I don’t have words to praise TATA for their concern towards the middle class of this country. Till now I have completed additional 7000 km and I have tested the vehicle in extreme rains, Bangalore traffic, tough hills in Coorg (interior) and on express highways.
Till now not even a single problem to mention. I am getting 21+ in city and 24+ on highways. Getting good mileage is an art. Before buying I had noticed rear wheel tread wear out (on only one tyre) so I did not worry much about it. But the tyre was aligned at the first service itself.
Accidents do happen with the best vehicles and with best drivers. Know your vehicles strength and weakness and drive accordingly. You can’t get everything in one package for cheap. I without doubt give 5 rating for this vehicle. Even though the feel and comfort level in other vehicles is entirely different, but for the amount we pay no car manufacturers can compete with Tata Nano.
The only mistake Tata did was to brand this vehicle as people’s car. In our country majority of the people live for others, false prestige’s, etc.
People living for themselves and care for their family then Tata Nano is the right choice.
