Exterior
Appearing good from front. Back boot lid is plain. side view is ok.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
Firstly i would talk about space, it’s very good. a person of six ft can comfortably drive the vehicle. It has got under seat space to keep some small bags which i would say an additional storage space. Dash board is not very impressive; all four speakers of very basic.pls don’t expect a high instrumental music in your car but will give you normal sound effects. Seats are comfort. Power window switches are placed near gear rod which needs to get used to it. And here i should tell about steering wheel..... GM is totally gone wrong in the steering wheel design. It’s not at all a kind to be in a sedan class car. I am very much disappointed. Honda Amaze has got very nicely designed steering wheel. one should change this if you want to feel great whcen your hands on the steering wheel.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
As far as my knowledge i can say the performance is not bad. need to shift to first gear when you slow down to 20 ,30 . I cant say about fuel economy since its not checked & also not fair to calculate in a test drive. gearbox is well crafted its very smooth. reverse gear seems to be difficult for the people who drive indian cars. its giving good power on highways need not to worry when you over take a bus or a lorry , sail engine is really responsive and deliver the power when actually you need it.
Ride Quality & Handling
Ride quality is very good. has got required road grip. breaking is awesome. i drove the car at 100 to 130 kmph speed on bangalore and chennai highway , i never felt nervous about steering or breaking. mostly there is no noise in the closed cabin. Where Honda Amaze engines noise is hearable in the cabin and vibration is also noticeable in amaze.
Final Words
After lot of research and test drives ( sail , amaze , dezire , swift , sunny , scala , classic ) i voted Chevy sail.
Areas of improvement
GM Indai , Please change steering wheel , you need not to give additional options but it looks plain. At least like Beat. Under thigh support is missing . Sun glass holder is not present. lights on the power windos and OSRVMS also missing.
