The wonder car NANO : what came in ratan tata’s mind to develop this car?? A big question who’s answer created a tremendous buzz in the whole world.
Nano has finally arrived and its mania has definitely gripped all…….(.I am one of them )well the excitement took its toll leading to long discussions, finding out every possible information about it on net , in newspaper , taking opinions from every source possible .
The best was the answer why do u want to invest in an autorickshaw ??? I was bewildered. ..Why?? Well the answer was u get a autorikshaw for 80k so there is big rush of autowallah to buy this 1 lakh car J ok…..it has engine under its seat and sound like an auto ………..the list of criticism went on
Anyways the excitement was much to reside so I dragged my mom along with me to Westside to just have a look at it to get a first hand experience ………….there were plenty like me ,and so much was the ado that it appeared to be more like a car showroom than an apparel showroom , with snapshots being taken, everyone around was trying on the chance to get the feel of car interiors, discussions happening , and the most impressive was the Chinese and Japanese tourist flocking with there digicams to click the nano from each and every possible angle .
Finally I got my turn to check this wonder car ,well as the saying goes first impression is the most lasting impression (not the last as I would like to phrase ) and in this case it was impressive and the first look under spot lights was of a good looking car.
It seemed that for 1.75 lakh it’s a good car although the height was too tall for a small car , only a 6 footer can look beyond its roof , ok so far so good .
But when it comes to interior spaces , it was a disappointment, there is leg space but the same leg space one gets in a DTC bus yup thatz true the seats are nowhere cushiony as everyone of has experienced in a car . The front seats are placed on two rod pipes so there is the leg space and as for the one who are sitting in the back well then one will be sitting on the engine J
It can be stated that to achieve a car for the given price they had to compromise on something and in this case interior accessories have faced the axe .
And for those who must be wondering where have they arranged the provision for car jack and spare tyre …eureka its in front under the supposed boot . It hardly leaves any space for further luggage.
And all those who think it’s a noiseless affair from those who have done the test drive they say it makes noise like an auto on starting and throughout the journey .
Overall in my opinion it’s not a family car but not a bad indulgence if one is looking for a short distance commuting, daily up and downs (at least it will be cheaper on the long run if I am not spending on autos ;).
It is O.K to tag it as a cute small MY CAR.
So who all the takers for it only time will tell. But it will surely cramp the traffic a bit more
