The Indian version of the Tata Nano is not going to be many Europeans' first choice of car. The speeds we drive at make a vehicle that meets only the legal requirement a bit of a gamble.rnThe low price tag doesn't make it any more attractive when the downside is a chest compression of 43mm at 56km/h. To put that in perspective, in 2005, the European version of VW's low-cost Fox managed 22mm at 64km/h.rnIn India, where average collision speeds are far lower, the balance the Nano finds between cost reduction and occupant protection ought to be more appropriate. Fatalities involving two-wheelers are the real problem there.
