Final Words Overall performance of vehicle is good. initialy in 2 years we will face no problem but after two years it starts problems in case of non availability proper service it can be convert in big problem in that case this vehicle become useless.

Areas of improvement After sale service need improvement. I have faced problem in accelarator noice but not addresed. and wasted my valuable time. Service stations are limited and time management is not good. Initialy I have reocmmonded the vehicle to my friends but after facing the problem in service quality i suggest to go for other where we can get for better service.

Interior and look of vehicle is good.After sale, commetid service and behaviour at service station is not satisfactory.

Exterior Exterior looks are good. Its absolutely a cute car, quite economical for a small family.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort Coming to interiors, the quality of the interior design is bad and also the doors doesn't seem to be strong enough to with hold any damage. The overall gage quality of the car needs an improvement.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very nice and smooth car to handle. Engine and gear shift is very nice.

Ride Quality & Handling very good.

Final Words I had purchased my Sparky in May 2011. Till today, absolutely there are no issues. I compared my sparky with Alto. Its is uncomparable car with any other small segment car. More spacious than alto and absolutely very good for a long drive when compared with alto. More over, I got the fully loaded vehicle for just 3.95 lacs. Fuel economy is also very good. I get 17 in city and upto 20 on high ways. Definetely a car of choice for a Middle income group.

Areas of improvement Dicky space has to improved. Also the car needs an improvement in the gage of the exterior body. Looks more beautiful with the techometer placed just below the steering as in earlier model.

good fuel economy, good looks, smooth gear shift, spaciousBad interiors, less dickey space, less pick up with AC

I brought Chevy. Spark in Jan 2011, After studying and comparing it with Maruti and Tata vehicle I concentrate on Spark. :(

 

Exterior is quite ok, I really like interior. but cream color dsahboard make his image on front glass which is not comfortable while driving.

From the day first to now (KM 0- 11000) car mileage is just 10 Km/L. I make complaint to dealer Nikhil Automobile in Navi Mumbai, they also take a test drive and noted mileage on highway is just 12 km/l and with laughing face they says don’t worry it will increase as you drive vehicle. and I am still waiting.

 

Electronic Fuel meter will always disappoints you. and last blinking part always makes your heart run fast. :(

so to all friends as petrol price increasing how we can afford this vehicle.

As my brother’s Maruti alto k10 gives 16 Km/lit. on local, I really feel sad why I brought Spark.
It is no more happywasi car.

Exterior Old designe but good, parking very easy, fornt and side look very good wider window. ground clearnce is very low touchs the speed breakers.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) All features are very good, discent space. comfort for 4 persons, handling excellent in traffic.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Reverse gear gives problem, power steering is good. my car giving the 17kmpl in city (9000 km in my meter). Engine very fine.

Ride Quality & Handling Good for ride. Breaks are very good. steering is very responsive but horn setting is not good. Head light and wiper nope in reverse for indian guys.

Final Words I run my spark more than 1000 km in single day and I enjoy it, I touch the top speed at 140kmh. Maintance in the budget if you push it more its demand for maintance. Tyres qulatiy is very good I filled it with nietrogen and gives the more smooth ride.  Music system is just fine.

Areas of improvement Ground clearnce must be improved and musci system too.

Final Words

 The Mileage & suspension are the worst things in this car. I purchased LS model in April 2009. Since then i have drove 25000 km but it just gives 10 kmpl. I complaint so many times but not satisfied.Initially i was told that after three services mileage improves later on thay said it will improve with few more thousands km but no benefit. now i think if mileage is the priority never go for this car. if i had selected some other car it would have been good for me. it seems that we are feeding an elephant. The people who claim for good mileage (abt 15 kmpl) i would like to meet them. it is my challenge that it can never give 15.

Areas of improvement 

 Mileage, mileage mileage mileage, mileage only mileage.

Good Space, Good Pick up, Nice interiorMileage is worst, Bad suspension

Exterior is good, but rear light are not impressive, round rear light are very confusing at braking, they are lighting with head beam in 90%, and minimize the car look in rear,if it would have change to square or other shape, would make the car legend in rear view. it confusing when moving rear gear by indicator. But it improve now,,but still remain more,

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) is good. but front dashboad occupied many space which is unnecessary, and it make the car less spacious,overall is good.seats are good. diggi space is very less,it need to increase. speedometer is kept in middle which is attractive. door handle should be attached.leg room is ok, but milease is irritating,,require repeated filling in long journey, its very annoying,,it wll be the best car if  its milease is increase, its a1000cc car, milease is giving like 1500cc car, its very painful, definitely its needs to improve, otherwise.

Good style, comfortable,silentAverage fuel economy,

Exterior Looks are good. No need to explain as it is a familiar look for indians.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Feature rich for a small car. Good Music system. Rear space is not suitable for 3 persons. But good leg space for both rear and front. Main problem is the reflection caused by beige dash board to windscreen. Overall comfort is good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performs well. Not so powerful but its more than good for a small car. Getting a fuel economy of 13.5 on LPG and about 18 - 19 kmpl on Petrol. Mostly i run on LPG. Went for a long ride of about 1600 to and fro in 2 days time. Engine performs well through out the journey.

Ride Quality & Handling Easy to handle and a smooth steering. Riding is as easy as plucking a flower. Good for city rides.

Final Words Gives me so comfort and feel free from maintanence. It is a very good vfm. Perfect buy for a small and budget cautious family. Chevy Spark is a very good buy in my opinion.

Areas of improvement Dash board colour should be grey or black to avoid reflection to windscreen. Bit more power will be good.

Good handling, Decent Mileage, Low MaintanenceNot suitable for 3 members in the rear, Reflection to windscreen by the beige dash board.

Exterior Length is around 11.5 ft , so it suits my parking. and in city ride it is good handle. Eon , Spark , Alto are of same size, and Room space is better in Spark that what i felt when i did Test drive and finally choosed this car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good Ac, more featurs in LT compare to LS model , Company Seat cover is good, Rear room space is good, and rear folding seats.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Reverse gear was hard in beginning now it is ok, Service people said they will recitify all small prolbem in first serivce.

Ride Quality & Handling I bough this Oct 12 , one week i went for driving class as beginner and now i learnt driving and i am using this car for 15 days, People who looking for First car they can skip Alto untill they consider mileage if not they can go for spark which has all features expect mileage. I did not test mileage now ,car is 15 days old only.

Final Words Good handle and reponse all the time. Eon is new style look and looks small in roads, this is old model like santro, some people like Santro like body finish , so onlt i bought this car as i like this shape than eon or Alto.

Areas of improvement May be braking and gear shifting, smooth as in hyundai cars. Low popular car, low selling car in india. Any doubt you have relpy below, I can help you out. 

3 yrs free service , Small to handle in city and quick learnt, interiorlow popular car , low selling car in india. may be back light

Exterior It's designed by some famous Italian brand (don't remember the name though). My Spark LS looks cute from outside. It looks much better than the Wagon R (dabba) or Alto.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Contrary to what people say, Spark is much roomier than Wagon R. Wagor R is only tall but there is no room inside. I have experienced sitting in the rear of Wagon R and it is not at all roomy. In fact, Spark has much better space in the rear. Spark is comfortable while driving. In terms of features, I can assure that Spark has the most to offer in comparison to other cars in this segment.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very smooth, noiseless and very peppy to drive be it in city or on highways. Suspensions are also pretty comfortable. Gear shifting is smooth except for the reverse gear which is a bit hard sometimes but that is not an issue (how many times do we use the reverse gear?). In terms of service, though I didn't get the 3 years warranty (I was given the option of that much discount), I am pretty happy with with the service. The service is not at all costly and it is a low maintenance car. Though one cannot compare number of Chevrolet service centres with Maruti, but there are a number of service centres at least in Mumbai and the network is ever expanding. I bought the car in Feb 2011 and Alhamdulillah, so far haven't many complaints (only few cosmtic complaints which were well attended by the servide centre). AC is also quite good. There is a slight problem in pick up in the 2nd and 3rd gear but that is miniscule and definitely not a show stopper

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is exceptional in city and on highways. No complaints.

Final Words Spark is my first baby after marriage. I am very happy with it's performance and is the best car in this segment. What else can you expect in this segment? Guys who are planning to buy Wagon R or Alto, request you to please test drive Spark and take a decision, I am sure you will change your mind once you test drive it. SPARK is definitely every rupee spent.

Areas of improvement Pick up.

Stylish cute looks, classy beige interiors, smooth performance, ever increasing service networkPickup
