The big question about the Nano being a proper car is actually quite easy to answer.
It’s a credible car that does the job brilliantly for its target customers and in the process trounces much more expensive cars in areas like passenger space.
The Nano’s not perfect. Owners will want more power, miss the practicality of a hatch and want an additional gear too. But that’s about it. What Tata has achieved with a car that costs an estimated Rs 1.2 to Rs 1.5 lakh is a triumph of Indian ingenuity. And we haven’t even mentioned the record-breaking fuel economy.
