First Drive: Tata Nano by CAR UK, 0-96kmph in 17 secs, 5-stars for feel good factor

It's a good news that it's nearing the launch

The ultra frugal machine is going to be an instant hit, for sure, especially because it comes at the price of a rickshaw. It'll surely create a wave. Kudos to TATA Motors . . .
But can't think of traveling through roads in Kerala after its launch. It'll be more in number than pedestrians

I guess both M800 and Palio 1.1 Stile have 0-100 around 20.5x seconds. So 0-96kmph would somewhere around 18-19secs.

Add the Indica Vista 1.2 Safire to this list, according to ACI it take 18.x seconds for the 0-100 run, someone in Tata will have a lot to explain once Nano is out

Hey Sid,

You're a star.

About the review: I really like the way the world is perceiving this great innovation from TATA and India. There is a lot a respect for what is being offered to the human kind and there is no Jeremy-ish comments anywhere. I guess even Mr. Clarkson will be more polite on Nano than he was on Reva.

Shine on India.

BH.
