Nano on the highway

Pickup: I got a nano LXi about an year back and have done about 8000 kms till now. Nano is very comfortable for a city ride with easy manuverability, small size and quite a powerful engine for its size weight. Parking is very comfortable. But one thing I would like to impress upon in this blog for potential nano buyers is that it is pretty good on the highway as well. I had driven in up down between Bangalore Hyderabad it took an average of 8 hours for the 560 odd kms. I also twice did it between Bangalore Coimbatore at an average of 7 hrs 15 min for the 370 kms. But the highlight was covering 850 kms within 35 hours,the major break being for 9 hours. I started off from bangalore at 10:30am on saturday for a small village about 50 kms further from Tanjore through some pretty bad stretches of road (Krishnagiri to Thiruvanamalai, Tanjore to Thiruvarur) and reached there around 12:30 pm, with an 1.5 hr continuous break in between. I started my return at 10am Sunday morning and reached bangalore by 8:30pm the same day (this time the bad stretches being between Thiruvarur to Tanjore and Trichy to Namakkal).I got a mileage of 23kmpl with the AC on through most of the ride. The only downside on highway was a max speed of only 90 and bit less powerful sound in the horn. Overall I am happy, would recommend this car for anyone who is in dilemma over the negative talk associated with this cheapest car yet. Mileage : 23 on highway Best Features - Easy city rides, ease with parking, mileage, value for money Needs to improve - Servicing Overall Experience - Good
