@Rero Pelo and accurate on purpose . this is the documentary I found that explains this car the best ; to me : shreyans jain : Making of Tata Nano - NatGeo (English) ; youtube. They talked about the whole process system designing it. physically it's stylish, but engineering wise everything was cut to the bare minimum necessary to make it reliable and usable in indian standards. which is very different than in America. unfortunately , it was too unreliable and it was meant to end up with a non-negotiable price of $2,000. it ended up at around $3,000 and still broke down to soon and had a severe " catching on fire" problem. I'm just a science loving geek , but in my opinion they came so close to success that I think they would have succeeded if they had taken their time on engineering. this is the kind of car that doesn't need affluence. That is not at all the point of buying this.

Tata nano was brain child of ratan tata,he once saw a family on a motorbike & they fell ,that time cheapest car in india was maruti alto (around 2,50,000INR base model in 2011)so he decided to make a car ,which people can switch to,& doesnt cost much (compared to motorcycle,leave the cars here) For indians Tata nano represent the innovative minds of our engg,you can say alot bad things but two things always cheared indians about this car 1 ) our auto company tried to solve our problem,doesnt go just with market trend(build bigger faster expensive one) 2) this car is an example how far you can think,making car such cheap is tough( the ideas were extreme) Yes it was a failure & instead if tata would have tried to cost cut on indica(around 3,50,000INR base model in 2011) & indigo(around 4,80,000INR base model in 2011) that would have sold more. Why nano failed? 1) Tata with idea of making people switch moterbikes & scooter was over estimated .The thought all motor bike & scooter owner will switch but the reality was this car only attracted old people who love to drive slow on road & doesnt really required much power or speed and dont give you space. 2) Utiity of car was limited(way to limited),speed of only 100kmph(with whole body vibrating & engine tearing apart itself) wasnt good for highways(70-90kmph) or expressway(90-120kmph).The car at best was when driven on roads in city at 30-40kmph(indians city roads are designed for 40-50 kmph only) 3)Safety the motorbikes have strong body(with helmet,leg guard),have greater power (135cc,150cc in 2011)..driving nano infront of a truck was really a daredevil task or in situation when you need power was tough,acceleration was slow & the fear of being hit by something(body was weak ) ,body roll was wooo 4) storage..there was no boot space for luggage ,the car at best could carry 1 mid size suitcase which wasnt good for anyone .Other option was to put all stuff on backseat of car(if you dont have kids). 5)Appearance:Costmetic is necessary for any product, it looked like egg shell ,have the tagged cheapest ,and people have tencency to attach car with their status symbol,so the practicality of nano even faded more 6) indians are young:50+% of indians population are below 18,another 35% are in age group of 18-35,so of 1 year 1 an can cough 1,00,000INR ,waiting 1 more year meant he can get maruti alto which way to better than nano,another 1 year meant you can now buy sedan(entry level or more high variants of compact) or at 1,00,000INR ,you can buy bajaj pulsar or tvs apache or royal enfield which are great sports bike(youngesters loved them) ,this also played downfall WHO LOVED THIS CAR? 1)If you are a retired person who loves to drive in morning slowly & block everyone's way to office or college,this was your car,fuel wasnt the issue it has best economy of 22-36kmpl in city. 2) if you are bachelor & just started the entry level job & managing you expenditures,and are tired of getting drenched in rain(it rains heavily in india) ,or getting frozen on winter (5 - 18degree celsius(cool from indian standard) or melting in summer(35 - 48degree celsius) 3) if you own a expensive car which can do 0-60 in 6 second,but you had to sit in traffic ,crawling for hours ,which makes you think why have i even purchased this thing,it would be better to buy a cycle or just walk,then this was also a good option . One can say alot of bad thing about it but one has to think from the angle of idea which let to creation of this vehicle,build a car which is comparable to a bike,targets the city only utility,doesnt make you bankrupt then this car fits the bill.Tata nano was a success a it was made of ideas which were stretched to their extremes.

I've actually seen a really good use for these in Australia... they replaced golf carts for site access vehicles inside of an industrial building. Somehow all of the shortcomings just didn't matter in that role. Rear access was easy, it didn't have a rear window. Nowbody wore seatbelts or expected airbags, but you only ever where allowed to go 15kph if you wanted to keep your job so it didn't matter. Likewise I couldn't tell you the highspeed handling, and it had already had its key lost and was hotwired to a push button start. Yet despite daily use, it got filled barely more than once a month, and despite one or two always being in a low proirty pile of the maintenance shed, there was always a few on hand.... when the entire fleet of cost as much as a single heavy duty pickup.

I remember some grad school friends from India telling me about this car. They liked it from an idea standpoint. It was cheap and it got you around. Tata was such a known name it was hard for me to understand how ubiquitous that company is in India.

That door closing action by rebound should be a feature on every car, looks for the perfect and fun relief on a bad day. I predict that will come as an option with some fancy name on the extra-list in the next Mercedes S-Class lineup.

Hey I'm an Indian and I agree to everything you said even calling it a sedan (it doesn't have a hatch so....) But for a person in India, being able to go to places and not be wet in India's condition is a big this and it also helps that the ground clearance is big enough to clear almost all of the million potholes present in our roads... And that's where Nano succeeded.... Where it failed in the Indian market is called it the cheapest car and that associates with status issues as you said. And with a price of petrol in India reaching higher than a USD per litre, It's a nice car. I don't what the problem with your specimen is because I've never heard of a Nano overheating unless it was not servised properly. And we have 1st year models that have gone long trips high into the Himalayans to prove it. Now I'm not calling you out or anything, but this is my perspective on this subject and I hope you look into why people in India are still using Nanos. PS your jokes and the song are funny

It failed not because of the price or the shitty quality, but because Indians love status symbols, and this thing does not carry any credibility. Imports for example carry far more cred. The idea would've been great if people thought with their heads instead of their egos or dicks. If you would release, for example, such a car as an EV with safety features that would make it street legal in Europe, with a good price point ofc, it would sell there. Germany recently launched a car somewhat like that called the E.go Life with basically the same core concept, with the exception that sales projections for the E.go Life are through the roof.

This means they're on cooldown for a dozen of years before everyone forget about these road abominations. Just yesterday I saw Tata Indigo - rusted like it was kept in a salt lake. People who buy *new* cheap cars in my country are considered uneducated and easy-falling for commercials (or seller's corpo-talk). Meanwhile my borther's Golf mk4 is holding on strongly. Only problem is a little bit of a rust on the rear hatch. Cheapest way to fix that is to just replace the hatch from a crashed doner.

And they last, they last for decades.
