Guy’s Guy’s go easy.
The point of this car is it’s potential availability to the mass of people who are currently running around on two wheels, carrying the whole family at once.
The safety level of an enclosed vehicle can be argued in both directions, personally i would prefer to be thrown over the handle bars than be stuck in a rapidly crushing can.
I own and drive 96 Hyundai Excel, and other than it’s old it’s good for my needs, i checked out the i30 offering recently, and could not get it as an automatic for less than 20K ( no sale here ) so a car that would allow me to drive to friends places in a reasonable time ( read 70 clicks ) for around 6k or so would be very attractive to this pensioner. Admittedly it would have to have an auto gearbox and be half way decent looking before i would consider it, but hey most of my driving now is to go down to the local shops for grocery’s.

With decent style and reasonable fittings ( auto ABS disks air con ) hell YES.

Cheers TBBW

I’d buy one for $5k today. But I wouldn’t for 10K, I drive a getz at the moment and its a really good car and didn’t cost all that much more than 10K actually a few grand more, but it has ABS and dual airbags, 6 speaker CD player, steering wheel mounted audi controls ect. $10K is too much for the nano. $5-$6k it would sell like hot cakes.

People bashing this car are really stupid and ignorant, I have seen and touched this car whilst on Holiday in India last Month. The quality is good and believe it or not it feels safe!. Even reviews of this car, they are all positive.

guys,

we should cheer up the great business man tata who atleast think about the common people and put efforts and made such a car in lowest cost with required quality relevant to asian country. People are critisied just because of lowest cost but if they want they can sell much higher than this.

And offcourse it is better than used second hand car which might be worth of $5000.00.

Atleast they dont need to take the loan and pay high interest to the bank.

Guys,

In Australia they won’t produce anything and they don’t praise who do that.

Anyway, India is still developing country and Australia is already developed. And India needs this kind of Car and our Great TATA did it.

If you want to buy that car in Australia also – I don’t think there is a chance, they won’t sell it.

good luck,

Get a grip guys. This is a car designed for India.
Most city traffic moves at less than 40 km/hr and the open road speed limit is 80 km/hr.
It is designed to get the masses of India off of motorbikes and in to cars.
Compared to the cars that did that for us (Model T Ford, Austin 7, Citroen 2CV), it comes up pretty well.
The arrogant petrol heads of the developed world should look around, and see how the bulk of the world’s population live. You may be surprised at your own excess.

Hey, friends nice to read the comments, but would liek to say higher version is going to come Which said as “Europa” i am sure will get good rating because of the engineering they have applied for cost efficient car check link about first drive in India.

Don’t forget to check mechanical section. and if tata wants to launch it in market other then india they can very well re-engineer the car with high performance and more safety then expected. As the company who provides the parts to nano is niche in their own section check the following link
