Nano is really an Indian marvel. Perfect engineering (or I can tell perfect supply chain) There is nothing in a car that one find it odd. I got the chance to give a drive check for nano. I drove the car the highest variant with my boss on co driver seat.
My feedback on Nano,
1. They have definitely benchmarked M800 in almost everything.
2. Since it is a rear engine rear wheel drive its steering effort is very less. But above a speed of say 50 Km/h one can feel a slight loss of stability.
3. Gear Shift the best. I really admired it. No stickiness, slip, or even a slight uncomforting feel during the gear shift.
4. The noise outside is bad but cabin noise is very less and cabin vibration is very less compared to the benchmarked car.
5. Braking is comparable.
6. Space – wow here is where the nano scores the best. The front seats are best and very comfortable. But I heard from my test drivers that the seat cushion is hard for a 6- 8 hrs drive.
There are few things that also came up during the drive check. The rear seat vibration, observed high and one person pointed out there is slight feel of engine heat.(but I do not trust his words) Frankly I did not check the rear sear.
Certainly it is the second and the best revolution happened in Indian Auto sector. The Japanese never used to drive the cars which are to be launched in India. But they are coming from Japan and will be feeling the car (for first 15000 Km ) along with top heads of our company.
There is another nano that will be stripped completely and a group of engineers study the level of engineering into the car. The nano may be the smallest car but it is considered highly confidential and only big boys handle it (I handle a model which is planned for a launch in April but my boss handles the nano. Ha ha ) that’s the Nano real effect.
Jai ho! Nano.
