The biggies have just been stunned and for the people across the globe this $2500 car is nothing less than a miracle. As compared to Maruti 800 Tata Nano is more spacious from inside and the ground clearance is also more to make your ride comfortable with the engine mounted in the rear like that in the “Bug” of Volks Wagen.
