    DRIVING:

    I was a bit confused at the onset, as i wanted a car which is blistering quick but at small prize.Initially there was only swift in my mind as it has got more BHP than others in that segment.but traditionally maruti cars are not known for their speedo gimics,so again i was confused.Then a close friend of mine told me about this small mini spark.Looking at the car at first instant i thought this mini can it live upto my xpectations?the interiors though are not the best as far colours are concerned but as it was a product of world's NO 1 company it werent bad as either.The spark hosts a good different instrument cluster at the centre.the lights in front of steering column are very lively and full of varied info about the car. The most important of all is the small,blistering quick 63 bhp engine.I was quiet shocked to see the output of this engine.The gears ratios are so nicely spacedthat you dont feel the lag at any moment.Dabb the throttle hard on the floor and the engines opens up its tap giving an unbeleviable speed of 168 kph.I was very impressed to see the speed of this car which was almost similar to speed of midsize sedan.The time required to go from 0- 100 kph was only 14 sec.Even in the city the car is very easy and very manevurable in the drive.The brakes are also very good and AC is quite good.I wish GM has transformed old matiz into modern matiz but with an awesome piece of machinery.They should give tubeless tyres as a standard fitting.Th eview from inside is also quite good.

    THe most important part the fuel economy,I got 18 km/l on highway with AC on and average speed of about 145 kph while on city it returned with 13 km/l. 

    All in all great car to own.

    fast fast fast really its fast for its sizelame colour of interiors
