    Exterior Looks fine. 

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Though it looks like a mini car, actually it has good interior space. A/C is good.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine Performance is good, bit noisy though. I able to get appx. 20 KMPL with A/C in highways. Not able to measure in city rides. Gearbox shift is fine enough.

    Ride Quality & Handling Not sure, why power steering is not provided. If you are planning buy this for your wife / mom, its not preferable, since it will be difficult for them to park / drive this in heavy traffic roads. No difference while on ride. 

    Final Words A decent vehicle for fuel economy concerned. 

    Areas of improvement Service network is not good or not geared enough. I discovered a unique problem with my nano. I didn't start nano for 3 consecutive days and tried to start it on the 4th day. I noticed the battery is discharged completely by itself. No clue, called the breakdown assistance and charged it. Sent my vehicle to VST service station in Chennai and as per their examination - no discrepancies were observed.  But the same problem occurred again. It was very  painful for me to get it re-charged every time by calling break down assistance. Though the break down assistance service is good, But no body able to solve my actual problem. So far i have used breakdown assistance thrice and thrice sent my vehicle back to service station in last 2 months. 

    My vehicle is in VST service station @ chennai for past 14 days, no clue whats going on. I don't get any update and i have to call them to get an update. Finally, they are claiming, its fault with the battery and they going to replace it. But replacing a battery should not take 14 days (10 if sundays & holidays are considered). 

    I am going to test my vehicle again by keeping it idle for 3 days - post this delivery and will post my review here.

    Good for indian city roads and good fuel economyPost sales service is not good.
