Sail Through the Roads

Exterior When you first look at the Chevrolet Sail Sedan you get the feel of looking at a mini Cruz, with bold lines flowing through out the body and seamless matching of the boot, this car is here to stay and will be "Neighbours Envy Owners Pride". The Headlamps and Tail Lamps are are beautifully crafted and overall you have a car which is a Sedan and not an improvization.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) First Up the AC is superb, seats are wonderfully Comfortable, fresh feel in the interiors, Superb space for getting in and out, excellent fit and finish, good comforable and airy cabin, boot space and good and the space is well done with covers all across and not esposed metal. Comfortable placing of power window buttons, lots of space to store things, even space below the rear seats (This is spectaculor). The cabin is absolutely noiseless (even with the diesel power inside).

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very powerfull, its rev happy and it will pump the speed when you ask it to. no wait time. The best part is the gears don't stall, you can rev upto 80 KMPH without getting the feel that the car is gasping for air. You can overtake easily and gear shits are great and smooth. Cant say much about Fuel Economy as the car is yet to go for first service.

Ride Quality & Handling The Sail rides as if its riding on clouds, the suspension and the shockers are great and car doesnot feel nervous at high speeds, it stays steady and feels very reliable while driving at high speeds. Indian roads...no problem...I drive a Sunny but I must say that the Sail is way more comfortable and easier to handle that Sunny. The entire suspension gives you a very soft and comfortable feel. The steering is light and it help you manuvour inside the city like a dream and when you pickup speed the steering gets the right speed and it help you keep the control of the car properly.

Final Words Overall its an excellent car, good value for money and looks awesome. Its not a Dezire or the Honda Amaze which feels like a boot is hanging out of a Hatch. The design is sensable, car is practical and powerfull and will please people who want a car, not something that looks like one, also I must say Aravalli Motors in Gurgaon have made the entire buying experience great. I am very satisfied with the car and would recommend people plannning to buy a car should have a look at it.

Areas of improvement Very difficult to say, but nothing is 100% perfect in this world. Power Window switch should have lights so as to make them easy to find them in the dark, Temperature Gauge is required, would be good if Chevy includes a Driver Information System going forward, the quality of switch plastic should be improves, the Headlamp and Wiper swtiches feel very plasticky and doesnot have a premium feel to them.
