One of my few concerns with the car pertains to inclement weather. I don't know how well it'd do in the snow with its traction. It would have to have a heater also for colder climates. Although, most US married households have 2 cars so shared rides could also be an option for snow days. I have a family vehicle, therefore, it could be used just for rides to and from work or rides to the store.
I'd consider buying one for my in-city commute. At 54 MPG I think that would offsett the higher diesal costs. I've read that safety & emmission standards will hinder the Nano's importation to the US. I think a Nano would be at least as safe as a bike in the city. If it can't be imported then perhaps US manufacturers should build a similiar economical car and stimulate the US economy.
I'd consider a Nano for my commute within the city. At 54 MPG, I think that'd offset the extra diesal cost. I've read that safety & emmission standards will hinder the Nano's importation to the US though. I think the Nano would be at least as safe as a motorcycle at inner city speeds. I understand it wouldn't be well received by US Auto Manufacturers, maybe, they should make a silimiar version & stimulate the US economy. You can't get a new car in the US for less than 10K.
