Delhi - When I first decided on buying a Nano in Oct 2012, my whole peer group was up in arms against the car . Substandard, Not for Upper middle class, Not adequate leg space, Expensive and low engine performance were used to scare me to change my decision to Maruti or some thing else. But some how I stuck to my choice and went on to buy a LX .I desperately wanted to try this vehicle and thankfully it worked to my charm.
Extremely compact from outside and quite spacious from inside with an amazing air conditioner. Cools within minutes. Steering was a bit heavy but I changed the Tyre pressure to 33 psi and then whoa! it works like a power steering if not one. The average of the car is pretty OK and gives around 18 km-pl while on AC while the company claims it to be around 25 km-pl. I personally like the design and style of Nano and prefer it over my other cars. It is ideal for a metro, parks so easily with my parking sensors. I have forgotten looking at the back while reversing.
The best part I like about it is the pick up of the vehicle, within minutes you are running on 60 without even noticing it although it is a bit compromised when completely occupied but still works well.Stereo speakers from TATA which come as accessory are also good if not better for a small car. The product is simply awesome and the Nano helpline is a great help when your vehicle goes down. I personally tried it 3 times and the TATA guys are like following you on the resolution of your problem till it gets solved to your satisfaction without any extra charge which is a great asset. I would also recommend to buy the AMC package which TATA offers. It makes you completely free of any issue regarding the machinery for the next four years. There was some problem with my fan belt because of which it used to make some noise and I got it corrected completely FOC.
Regarding the dealer experience - Bought it from Him Motors Patparganj, experience bad to worst, no customer service, no proper documentation and pathetic follow ups. I had to literally fight with them to take the delivery. So make sure if you plan to buy a Nano, you buy it from a good dealer after a proper survey. The accessory I bought from them was substandard and I am completely dissatisfied with the performance. You may want to look for another option as far as the accessory part is concerned.
Today, I take most of my friends for a drive of nano and all of them are pleasantly surprised on the vehicle. It is surprising to see that most people were giving an opinion about the product without even trying it for once. Lot of my friends are now getting convinced with Nano and I would say it is an ideal car for you to have whether in city or in a village. With High performance and easy on pocket features, I am completely Nano-addicted !
Take a test drive and then only form an opinion about the car.
Best!
