Maruti 800 is the bestselling car of the year 2008 produced by the Maruti company. Though the looks of this car are not too good its regular facility makes it the best at its price. It is the car for congested city areas.
Tata Nano, the car best for a middle-class family to complete their dream of having “My Own Car”, produced by Tata, is one of the striking names in the car market in India.
Model and Design: The outer look of the Maruti 800 is not so good. The plastic that is used is not so good nor is the door pocket, but the interior has a bit new look. The 4-seat interior has new dials; fabric and better-looking instruments which give a light & airy experience.
The interior space is also suitable for car size. The headlamps are also spot clear.
The 4 seated Nano looks quite good as it has a new dashing look. The overall height & width of this car is about 1652 mm & 1495 mm (& 1620 mm with ORVM). The Headlamp & Tail lamp also has a clear lens. The car has many unique colors like Racing Red, Summer Blue, Champagne Gold, and Ivory White etc.
Engine & Transmission: The 800cc engine & two valves per cylinder produce 37bhp of power. The 5-speed gearbox is good in harnessing the power but the engine is noisy & takes some time to reach a marginal speed. The main feature is the mileage of the car which is about 16kpl on city roads and it is stretched to 22kpl on highways. The power steering is precise and offers the good feeling that someone will miss it at low speed while parking the car.
With Nano’s 624 cc engine and 2 cylinders, it can give a maximum of 35 PS @ 5250 rpm and also a maximum torque of 48 NM @ 3000 +/-500 that can remit an effort of 105 km which is a pretty decent number. It has 4 forward gears with 1 reverse gear. Tata Nano has 30% 0f Credibility.
Features: The most important feature of the Maruti 800 is its mileage & steering which makes it all more important than others at a reasonable low price. This car is reliable, cheap and easy to maintain on the city congested roads.
Tata Nano is the car which is best for a lower middle class family and for its comparative unique features at a comparative low price. It is safe, secure, reliable & also comfortable. It has unique colors, a dashing look, and also a reasonable speed at a decent time interval.
Last, of all, it can be said Maruti 800 is a car that is around for many years and is still going strong. This car is much more reliable than Nano as it is the best one can say for city rides and is easy to maintain in traffic. But if one believes in a Tata product and is also looking for a new model car that is cheap in price and fashionable in looks then he must go for the Tata Nano Car as it could be the car of the era.
