The Worlds Cheapest Cars - Is the Tata Nano the Next Yugo Or is it Better to Buy a Used Car?

When I was 9 years old, I remember my parents surprised us and drove to his home in what appeared to be a large metal box with four bicycle wheels attached. We could not believe our eyes as they pulled into the driveway with a turnover of $ 3,990 sticker still in the window. What is even more surprising is that this large metal box was not a box at all it was actually a new car called the Yugo. At that time, Yugoslavia had been introduced in the United States and is marketed as the world's cheapest car. Immediately we have inside to take a look at the simple, we went for a walk around the block. Immediately, I compared myself to ride a roller coaster, because from beginning to end was very poor due to the poor quality cheap car.

It only took a turn to realize that 3990 dollars were really overpriced piece of junk. The Yugo has become quite the phenomenon for a few months, but shortly after most people have started to realize that when it comes to quality and safety, with a car, $ 3990 is not going very far . In one year, the seats of the car both fell, the clutch was bad, the heater broke, and the engine was shot. At first we thought we might be a lemon, but soon realized that it was common in almost all the Yugo. The Yugo lasted only a few years after becoming a joke more than anything else, dealers can not give this car.

Now it's 2009 and similar to the Yugo, India launched the "Tata Nano" which is advertised as the cheapest car in the new world at about $ 2,500. Tata Nano is a small car, rear engine four places mainly for the Indian market and has not yet been published in the United States. Newsweek identifies the Nano in the new generation of 21st century cars "that embody" a philosophy contrary the smallest part of a ', lighter, cheaper "and promises a new era in inexpensive personal transportation - and potentially,".. overall stagnation "The Wall Street Journal confirms a global trend toward small cars, which includes the Nano Now I do not know if the quality of the Nano will be as poor as the Yugo, but in my opinion, $ 2,500 for a new car seems a bit odd. For comparison, here is a breakdown of some of the cheapest new cars sold in the United States this time:

1. Nissan Versa: $ 9.990
2. Hyundai Accent: $ 11,070
3. Kia Rio: $ 11,495
4. Chevrolet Aveo: $ 11,965
5.Smart Fortwo: $ 11.990
6 Toyota Yaris: $ 12.205
7. Kia Spectra: $ 13.550
8.Suzuki Reno: $ 13.839
9. Hyundai Elantra: $ 14,120
10. Pontiac G3: $ 14.335

Now, I'm not sure if the Tata Nano will make its way to the United States or is a quality car. However, just from past experience with the Yugo, I will not be one of your guinea pigs are recruited by the crazy cheap price!
