value for money car

TATA NANO, the much hyped car of this century, certainly stands upto its expectations. let me first say that a Maruti 800 or a Maruti Alto DO NOT at all add to the status symbol as they are still the cheap cars. To add a status symbol, you need to at least purchase a car costing upwards of Rs.5-6lakhs. Any car below that is considered cheap. Believe me you do not purchase a 2-3 lakh rupees car for show off, do you guys? The NANO offers mileage of 22-23, which is THE BEST on Indian roads (only after the new Indica eV2). It maneuvers very very easily in city traffic and is sturdy enough to go 90 on highways. I have been driving NANO LX for the past 6 months or so and i have never found anything lacking. Alto costs around 1.25-1.35 lakhs more than NANO Lx. NANO has front and rear fog lamps, Power windows, Overdive(very comfortable) stylish looks, Body colored bumpers, Body colored door handles, Body colored ORVM, heighted seating. Alto dosent have any the above things. Driving the NANO without without a power steering was almost as smooth as WagonR as it is very light Weight. The TATA NANO offers the Best Value For Money. The standard model comes for around 1.5lakhs (on road Mumbai) and the fully loaded Lx version for 2.15lakhs (on road Mumbai). This car makes every dream come true and is definitely better than what you get after spending 1.2-1.5 lakhs more. Hats off to Mr. Tata for this 'lil wonder... it is the car of the future... -Manzil Thakkar -manzil.rocks@yahoo.com -Tata loyalist -Nano user
