It seems the deliveries will start on the 15th. 40+ bookings in one showroom itself, for the auto variant. Quote:

It is quite inside and the quality of interiors - be it seats, dashboard, everything is good for the price. And at around 335000 on-road in my city, it makes a lot of sense. While writing this, I am inclining further towards buying it |
Exactly. Noise is not a problem inside at all, and outside noise will get drowned in traffic, so it's a non issue for me.
Brakes, yes, but the positives outweigh the negatives. Only option is to drive slower, which I think is a good thing. Quote:

Great review on a car that I've been very keenly looking forward to. Rated 5-stars.
I'm surprised why so many persons think this car is good only for the wife. I don't want to raise questions about sexism (or misplaced machismo).
Also, this kind of a car is not a weekend or grocery-run car for me. The reason I'm keen on this car is for myself as my primary vehicle for commuting. Currently I drive a 2006 Toyota Corolla and there are days my left knee just hates me. The Nano GenX gives me an option of a nice efficient car for my commute for approximately the same price as a knee operation costs today. For most of my commute, my only company is my lunch box and I'm pretty sure the Nano is good enough to swallow it up. I'm waiting for the TD vehicle to come and for me to make up my mind on whether it is good enough.
As for comparing it with Alto, Celerio etc I would just say that a new Nano GenX is cheaper than a 3 year old A-star / i10 auto versions. Also, I already have a car when I need to ferry the kids (strapped in their car seats thank you) or go down to lonavala for the mountain mist.
The Nano meets (on paper) all of my needs from it. |
I agree with your outlook. I'm currently using a remapped Figo TDCi, and the nano will be replacing it as my daily drive. Simply because, that's pretty much all I need. Makes no sense losing a lot of money on the figo on selling it and no interesting automatic less than 15 lakh. Anything more expensive than that is a waste in city traffic.
High seating, good gc, brilliant ac, and compact dimensions make it perfect for city. Now with the Amt, it's just about perfect.
Another point to note is that a 3yr old i10 at can be had at the same price or cheaper, but the mileage will make you cringe. Quote:

The sales rep also suggested me not to go for it as it is not worth.
Can anyone give me some input on this? Is it TATA that decides the cost of AMC? If I buy NANO XTA should I got for AMC at this price? Will it make sense?
In addition, they have also increased the handling costs from 3000 to 6000. Does AMT needs special handling (fragile kind of)?? |
Amc is 11k for 4 years. 2 years is 3xxx and 4xxx for 3years. This is for the gold Amc.
What I understood is that gold Amc lets you change parts like brake pads, etc at any time based on wear, whereas the silver pack let's you change them only during scheduled services.
Handling charges are approx 2500 in cochin. Will confirm in the evening. |
