Expert`s comment:

Hi,
The advantage of Maruti 800 are.
1.Its proven performance and well established from decades.
2.Price just above that of Top end model of Nano
3.Readily available
Some of disadvantage are.
1.Poor build quality, intrerior space.
Advantage of Nano are
1. Updated style and body dynamics and build quality
2.Cheaper price tag of base model hence owning new car is easy.
3.Proven performance from many test drives carried out in all regions of country.
4.Emision meeting BS IV norms.
Disadvantage of Nano
1.Waiting period
2.No seperate luggage space
3.Yet to establish in the segment.

So comparision will be quite incomplete without full scale production of Nano.
If willing to own a car on urgent basis, Maruti 800 is the one to go for.

Answer by Shiva Shankar 12 December 2009

Better to go for Maruti 800. It is best car for first user , no tension for service . Maintenance cost of the car is very cheap.

Answer by Kiran 12 December 2009

each car has it's own plus and negative points . So for what you are looking for ? if you want fuel economy ,it's nano. if you want service and spares it's maruti. If you want comfort it's nano. trying to say be specific at question.

Answer by Sagar Ade 12 December 2009

Its undoubtably Maruti 800. I have seen Nano on road . It looks like Scarp load.

800 is anytime is better.

Answer by Fayaz 12 December 2009

Don't confuse straight away go with M 800. It is proven in performance.

Answer by Saravanan 12 December 2009

Hello Priyamadhab,

I have seen these kind of questions in lot of forums.
What i will say is you cannot compare these two.
Tata Nano is a city car which has a rear mounted(which is a new in India) engine.
Maruti 800 has proven all around the highway and city and has more power and cubic capacity than a nano.
Tata Nano is 624 cc, 2 cylinder, MPFI,35BHP
Maruti 800 is 796cc,3 cylinder,MPFI with 37BHP

Now to decision making:
If you want peace of mind,reliability,resale value Go for MAruti 800.
If you are ready to embrace new things you can go for Nano.

If i was in your shoes i will go for Maruti 800 and not even think of Nano.But if i am looking for a specific city drive car for two people then i will go for Nano.

Answer by Jijuanair 12 December 2009

I personally have not test driven nano so the driving dynamics of the car is just word of mouth or the test drives of auto mags.
I my view if you are going to commute in the city in particular then nano is best car for its price but if your need and use generally involves serious long highway drives then go for M 800 as it is the most reputed workhorse in the indian automobile industry for its price.

In looks nano is way ahead of the M 800 as there is a generation gap in both the cars in design front.

Don not hesitate to buy nano due to recent media coverage regarding its technical glitches as this is not new thing for a newly launched car.

Answer by Rohit 12 December 2009

Never even think about Nano, its too inferior in quality when compared with Maruti....

Answer by Subhash 12 December 2009

no idea about the tata nano bcoz i personelly not deiven but as per the market trends maruthi is the best

Answer by RAMA 12 December 2009

I had sold Maruti 800 before one year and purchased new Alto.I recommend for Maruti 800 as regards comfort,service,long journey,spare parts etc,.

Answer by ARVIND GUPTA 12 December 2009

go for maruti 800.

Answer by A V Patil 12 December 2009

if u would like to use personally for your own purpose go for m800 is better i had a m800 i sold that before 6 month and i purchased a alto, if you are going second hand buy alto is better unfortunatly i dont know more about nano but its sound is like auto riksha.

Answer by Ajayan 12 December 2009

none of the both as NANO is a waste car.... just a crap craze.. in my opinion a motorbike is better dan a nano.

about maruti 800.. d best car of first time driver but only for learning purposes as MARUTI SUZUKI is soon going to pull out production of maruti 800 coz it doesnt adhere to BSiv norms. so if u purchase 1 now it wud b a prob for u to resell it..

i wud suggest to go for santro instead of both of above.

Answer by Keshav 12 December 2009

Maruthi 800 is THE BEST car amongst the both. I don't suggest nano at all.

Answer by Sai Gautam Pusala 12 December 2009

maruti 800 ,powerful engine,no maintanence

Answer by Mukul 12 December 2009

I ahve been using Maruthi- 800, So taht i ahve Felt that 800 Is Very Good Car for City Round as well Hilly Areas.

Answer by Lakshman 12 December 2009

In contradiction to the comments above, I feel the Nano is the better option.
Speed: - Almost no difference, both barely touch 100kph
Build Quality: - Much better for the Nano
Spares: - Cheaper for the Nano, Tata service points are also easy to find
Saftey: - Nano is far superior
Interior space: - Nano is again far superior

My suggestion: - If you have to buy one of these 2 buy the Nano, but if you are going to take even the occasional drive to places close by like lonavala even suggest you buy something else (Chavy Spark if a fantastic alternative)

Answer by Mashhad Edibam 12 December 2009

Of course MARUTI800. It is a proven brand and one of the most reliable too

Answer by Vijay Shankar 12 December 2009

Dear, Maruti 800 has proved the of best car.But Nano has due.still m-800 is better.

Answer by A Vishwanath Reddy 12 December 2009

Dont think about nano It is a decorated steering Auto If u want to buy a auto u buy nano
If u want to buy a car with relability and proven performance u go for Maruti 800 dnt ask this question to any body straight way you go and buy maruti 800

Answer by Dr Satya Prasad 12 December 2009

go for Maruti 800. see Nano is going of a car for those already have plenty of cars and would like to east out in citi trafic. they can afford even if any thing happen to Nano performance.

but as 1st time buyer it would always better Maruti 800

low maintaince
pick up is 800CC compaire to Nano 600
basic boot space Nano doesnt have

So Maruti 800 is for real use and Nano is just as an additional moving facility for those who have plenty of big cars

Answer by Rajan Mathew 12 December 2009

I am using a maruti 800 but i think nano could also be a decent family car as it has a backing of TATA motors which is the best in small car

Answer by Syed Abid 12 December 2009

Hello

I am using 800 - 5 speed. A good one. Can't compare with Nano. The only disavantage of M800, is with AC on pickup affects drastically. This may be becaue of CC capacity. Yet to know the actual performance of NANO. So can't comment today. But before purchasing M800, get it confirm from company about its disconituation. I came to know that Maruti is planning to discontinue its 800 moedl from market oin phase manner.

Answer by ISH KATYAL 12 December 2012

I have been using maruti 800 for the last 15 years.Today I have test drive TATA NANO.You can not judge by driving one kilometer test drive.Rear bumper looks very bad even three wheeler looks better.Tata Nano manufacturer should see to it.Redesign rear bumper,remooving mesh ZALI.Price is also high when you recollect declaration of Ratan Tata "EK LAKHTAKIA CAR" at the time of its launch.fulfill these two and you will see like me so many will comeforward to purchase this magic car.

Answer by Satish Salwan 01 January 2013

please don't compare maruti 800 with nano.. nano is a auto rikshaw, it has auto rikshaw engine, maruti 800 is a star, go for it... for long drive it is excellent car, maruti 800 small car takes you far.. bt nano.. hahaha it doesn't have tht much brave to go on highway.. plz don't compare.. i can say NANO is worst car... go for MARUTI 800, good maintanance, low expensive for all spare parts, everywhere u can get..

Answer by Arun 01 January 2013

nano is not a car. m800 is really fun to ride with friends for picnic or a one day trip. if you load 5 people in a nano, you dont have the space to load the baggages of your friend,and then after i think a nano couldn't drag its acceleration to 80+ with five people onboard. But a m800 can easily speed-up to 90+ with 5 peoples onboard. thats the difference!!! so for a little entertainment, go for m800 and if you like to taste different thing for a while, go for nano.

Answer by Aspinaki 01 January 2013

maruti is best

Answer by Sarfraz 12 December 2012

I am using Suzuki 800 since 1998, and still it working well and has beaten many expensive sedans in a highway and also in city area in terms of speed,. You really have to know how to drive a car. I have never used Nano but I cannot believe that it is better than Suzuki 800. Remember Suzuki 800 is the first modern and Japan made car in India, whereas the idea of Nano came from the substitution of the motor bike. GO FOR SUZUKI 800. If you want to have a car instead of a covered modern Auto rickshaw.
