    In over a year, we haven’t had too many mechanical maladies to report. The steering became heavier than usual and the clutch was heavy and non-progressive, but a quick visit to the service station rectified both problems. We even got the clutch cable changed under the generous four-year/60,000km warranty. It’s very light on the pocket as well, all the time it was with me, I got a fuel economy figure of around 15-17kpl with the AC on in normal city driving. 

    Apart from the power-steering (please Tata, it’s more important than power windows), the only thing I really missed in the car was a music system. The good news is that Tata has just launched an even further updated version of the little Nano which gets a few chrome strips, a glovebox, an integrated music system with a USB, Bluetooth and four speakers.

    Finally, it’s time to bid farewell to our Nano and I wholeheartedly enjoyed each and every day of driving I had with it. Now I can’t wait to get my hands on the 2013 car.
