The Nano from India's Tata Motors is the biggest news in small cars for a long time. Made in India, for India, Tata Motors want to allow everyone in India to buy a car if they want or need one. It is small though, and so we bring you: Top 10 things you shouldn't try to do in a Tata Nano.
#1 The horizontal mambo
Good luck getting horizontal in a Nano: unless your feet are sticking out the open door, you'll have a problem. This may be less of a problem in India, where people are generally not as tall as some other places.
#2 Get away after a bank robbery
Sure, the Tata Motors Nano has a top speed of 75 miles per hour, so you could outrun foot police with ease, but put them in just about any other form of transport and they'll probably catch you, particularly if there is more than one of you. Maybe get one each, split up, and hope that most of you escape?
#3 Go on a date
Not everyone is a car snob, but we somehow can't see a ride in a Tata Nano being a good first step on the long road to love. If you own one, take our advice and don't reveal the fact straight up. Riding the bus to the movies may be a better option.

Small? Yes. Cheap? Yes. One of the most successful cars ever? Time will tell! The Nano from Tata Motors is big news. Made in India for the Indian market, the intention is to bring cars to the masses in India who previously couldn't afford one.
So just how cheap is the Tata Nano? At 100,000 rupees for the basic model, it is the equivalent of about US$2,000. To give you an idea of how much that is, we bring you our Top 10 list other things you could buy with that much money instead of the Nano.
#1 At least three iPhones
Following on from the hugely popular iPod range, the iPhone Apple is surely the most coveted tech gadget of recent years. Because it is so popular, the price varies a little, but we're sure you could get at least three of them for 2,000 bills. Ok, you can't pick up your groceries with an iPhone like you can with a Tata Nano, but you can go online and order them instead! Food for thought.

The Nano from Tata Motors is one of the biggest car stories of recent years. Produced in India and primarily for the Indian market, it is small, cheap, and set to take India by storm. Having said that, the Tata Nano is certainly unique. Take a look at our 5 other famous small cars of the world, below.
#1 The Volkswagen Beetle
Coming in at #1, we have the very, very famous German Volkswagen Beetle. Produced in 1938, the Beetle emerged from WWII unscathed and took the world by storm. In its day, the Beetle was more comfortable and had better performance than its competition. In fact, the post-war Beetle was competitive even with cars produced in the 1960s, a testament to its underlying quality of engineering.
Still popular today, the Beetle has even spawned a a modern version, although it doesn't have much in common with its post-war cousin. Adored by millions worldwide, the Tata Nano could only dream of doing this well.
