Chevrolet Spark is Value for Money

I had enough options to choose from (within 4.5 Lakh Rupees) like Alto , Wagon R, Santro, Palio , i10- Era and Spark.

I decided to buy Spark because I got fully loaded car with music system, four power windows, fog lamps , defogger , wind shields , seat covers, car cover,tubeless tyres and wireless locking system at a price of 4.20 Lakhs. I do not think any car with 1000CC engine comes with all these features at this price. Also Spark comes with three years free maintenance package. I have not spent a penny for my car services in last 15 months. I also liked the styling of the Car ,it has the look and the color of the car "misty lake blue" is very nice. I was very much impressed by the car's engine ,one can never make out if the engine is switched on or not it is that silent. The beige interiors of the car is of good attractive and has quality. I also liked the central cockpit control system which is very unique to Spark. The market rep of Sundram motors was very interested in selling unlike other leading car vendors where they act as if they are doing social service.

Now let me explain a few things about my experience , I have driven Spark for some where around 7500 KMs and till date I have never faced any major issues as such. I have taken car to my native Honnavar which is some where around 450 KM from Bangalore with four people and the journey was a smooth and comfortable one.I have driven car in heavy traffic of Bangalore , in highways and in ghat sections in all cases I am satisfied owner of Spark. The car service is pretty good in Bangalore , the service outside Bangalore may not be that great though. The showroom guys call regularly and take the customers feedback, remind us about the pending service , provide pick up and drop service at reasonable price of 250 rupees. I get a mileage around 13 to 15 which is not very bad in Bangalore traffic. The car is as much spacious as Santro and Wagon R, from outside one feels Spark is small but that is not the case, easily four people can travel in it. It is best car for small family within four members. Parking in city is not difficult with this car.

Some drawbacks with Spark are in the smoothness of the gear , it is pretty hard compared to i-10 , particularly the reverse gear. The central locking of the car does not include the dicky. One feels the car is underpowered if 5 people are in the car and the AC is switched on. The service outside Bangalore may not be that great as showrooms and service centers may be very less.

Spark is best option for people, who need smart looks, looking out for better mileage, who prefer smooth engine, frequent travelers within city , guys with small family, and who would like to get a fully loaded car with good interiors at best price.
