Is Nano worth it!

Prized that 1 lakh, is it worthwhile to purchase The Nano Car

Here is why , i decided not to go for it:
Before jumping to any conclusion, i had to clear why i should purchase a Nano.

(A)Its Cost effective in 2 terms
1)Will come at base price of 1 lakh.
2) It has an average of over 20(As claimed by Tata group)

(B) Its size is bigger . It can accomodate 4 people easily.

(C) A smaller car is easier to drive on Delhi roads and Parking is lot more easier for a small car than a big car.

(D) Being a tata car, spare parts will be easier to get and will also be cheaper.


Besides, these 4 points, i dont see any point which can motivate me to purchase a car.

Now, Here are the reason why i am not going for Nano purchase . I already have a Ford Icon. The reason i was looking towards Nano was the fuel economy. As i have to move to gurgaon everyday for office. almost 40 kms approx one side from my home.

But following points- made me think twice for the NaNo purchase.

A) 1 Lakh car..nah! its on road price will come to 1.22 Lakh and with the kind of atmosphere in Delhi. Pollution as well as temperature in summers, one must have an A/C supported in the car.
A/C version of car wil come a around 1.5 Lakhs.

B) For a new car Insurance cost is also high.

C) Dont forget, the depreciation of the Car

For me its better to ride to my office by my Icon . In a year i can spend 15 K more on fuel, but this difference in economy is almost offset by the Nano depriciation. And Nano can never beat Ford Icon in driving comfort.

Glad, that i am over this Nano decision now.

Nano is Na-No
