You seem to be way to immature to understand the basic concept of this car.
A person whose making 10k / month, owns a Baja Chetak, CANT afford a 800, has a family of 4, what the hell is he gonna do in the monsoons when his kids need to go to school and his wife has to go with him.
What TATA is giving him however, is a freakin roof on his head, four decently comfortable seats for everyone, and atleast something which will move dammit (And just for the record it does 70kmph).
If you still don't get my point, well, I don't expect you to, cause you wont understand the market this car is aimed at, people who dream every night of owning a car, but can't out of shear financial reasons.
I can say the same about your ZMA. My 2008 Busa can gobble one up, your bike is utterly fugly!
Point is, some can afford the Busa, some can't. Get it?
And for the ABS part, come one dude, if you knew one thing about the automotive industry in India, the cheapest ABS loaded car works out to around 4.5L (Maybe a bit more), and the very fact that they're even offering it here is a HUUGE design marvel.
Oh and btw, they've applied for 34 patents, including the engine which is a revolutionary 623cc 2-cylinder single camshaft motor.
Comfortable seats lol ...... even the front passanger seat is not reclining
i have never denied the fact that this maybe superb car for someone but not for me ..... i know which segment this car belongs and who are the propective buyers .....
i don't understand y u have bought my bike into this ...... i know my bike is a moped lol ...... and hayabusa too much dhoom eh!!! ...... dunno y every indian is so obsessed with hayabusa ...... and dude try to ride hayabusa in city and u will get my point ......maybe ur hayabusa can beat my moped but wat does that proof in this thread ...... if u have something worthy to say we can discuss but if u are trying for start a flame war/personal comments sorry my friend, i am not in for it ......
here we are talking about tata one lac car and cheapest car ahead of it not tata one lac car and RR as u comapred my moped with hayabusa ...... sheesh do u even know anyother bike that hayabusa
i know they must have applied billion patents for that engine, wat does that proof :-/

Even if it doesnt save lives, it helps in mitigating a lot of accidents as the car won't lock up. Considering how half the folks on the road have no idea how to drive, anything that can help avoid accidents is helpful.
please search and see how dangerous ABS can be sometimes depending upon road condition ...... ok u can do cost cutting in other departments but on brake ...... please give me simple brakes with high quality rather than cheap ABS ...... this is not a place to compromise

The thing is that TATA's engines are pretty reliable. True that the car will turn into a rattle cage and every electronic part will start malfunctioning but the TATA engines are bullet proof. Atleast the diesel versions are. Else you wouldn't see the gazillions of indicabs and tata sumos everywhere being used as call center taxis. They are reliable and easy to maintain.
i know tata engine are pretty reliable and that is normal, were u expecting unreliable engines because its a Indian company. i will not give any car company any credit because their engine is pretty repliable, whos doesn't ? about the indicabs and sumo its not reliability, its about diesel, cheap, service network, ancient can-be-fixed-anywhere engine.
and while we are on engine let me tell u this engine is new and two cylinder ...... so long term reliability, vibrations can be a issue .......
anyone know torque rating of this car ? i can find only BHP figures everywhere .....
Chaos said:
Well no one knows if its a lousy product or a good one. As of now no one has test driven it so one can't say. What all I can say is that the design is rather good for something costing just 1 lac. Now whether the car is roadworthy or not is best left to test drives.
that wat i said its about personal preferences ...... i don't find it good

Frankly I'd be happier if every third biker switches to a nano as it would lead to more disciplined traffic. IMHO the biggest problem on any city road are unruly bikers who follow no road rules and try to squeeze into any nook and cranny they can find. (No offence to any bikers on TE).
no comments mate ...... i come to office everyday and see more disciplined CAR drivers ...... till date i have hit from behind million times by cars coz i stop when light turns orange ...... its not about car or bike its about peoples mentality ...... pretty lame comment by u i must add
and not let me tell u how civilized car people drive on highways, they will take pass even when they see someone is coming from otherside wat do u say about this ...... its about who is behind the wheels or handles which makes the difference not the 2 or 4 wheels .
Chaos said:
About the highway... well I doubt you'd see too many on highways as they obviously won't have enough range. I'd still happily tailgate a nano rather than a 100cc bike.
well a 100cc bike takes a lot less space than nano .....

Well thats the universal truth. Cheap stuff sells... not just in India, just about everywhere.
wat point i wanted to make here is, in india people tend to go low on safety features if prices are reduced so tata sud have added safety features atleset on the lower end models .......
People its not like i hate tata or the car ..... i feel proud when i see indian company lauching the car under price bracket which no other company has done or can even think of doing ..... but when i see the product i feel its not complete and not upto my expetations ......
hyeah: (Phew..finally some other car has stood up to seriously challenge the 800 after 20+ years of monopoly in the low cost car market !!) And this one is going to be a bloody good seller, no doubts about tht...
