I had purchased my cute Chevy LPG LS last month and since then I am a very happy owner of the car. The onroad price is 3.62 lakh (discount of 37,000 and 45,000 maintenance) in Noida. I have already drove 1000kms without a single complain. It's of Topaz color with silver roof rails.
The interior is really exclusive, gives the feeling of being seated in a luxury car. The gear system is smooth and moreover the suspension system is superb even on very bumpy roads. Friends, the balance of the car is excellent and the cockpit is well placed.
The LPG tank is of 26.2 ltr and I could able to fill 26.13ltr without pressing the system. The technology used is of latest US based one and in case of any mishaps all the vulves get closed automatically preventing any accident. You would be amazed to see that the changing of fuel types is soo smooth that u even can't tell on which mode the car is moving.
It's equiped with child safety lock and fire extinguisher. The Chevy is really very spacious having good leg space ( i feel sufficient for average height Indians). I am 5'10" and very comfortable.
The fisrt time I started the car..I was not sure if it is started. Too smooth and sound of engine is minimal. I have used the car mostly with AC on due to the harsh continental climate of Delhi and never found it underpowered.
The cooling system is superb and plenty of features added to the car like, bottle holder, card holder, bag hooks, lighter, cup holder etc.
In the fisrt month I have got a mileage of 14km/ltr with AC in city drive on LPG version ( LPG is Rs. 26.7 /ltr in Delhi).
The only constraint I found is that the boot space becomes a little less due to the LPG tank though the stepny is mounted at the back of the seat. It does not create any problem in short drive and during long drive I put the stepny on floor and relax. One may also like to fold the rear seat and even sleep comfortably during journey (small family).
I never bothered to spend few bucks to decorate the car with Roof rails and rear spoiler and the look became deadly. People are crazy with the modified look.
I don't want to compare the model with any other brand of this segment( though I drove most of them). Rather, I would suggest you to have test drive and compare yourself.
In short, I love my Chevy and would like to recommend it for others.

Recently I have driven through the mighty hills of Himalayas and the performance of Chevy spark is superb. It is really helpful to have low curb weight. It's very stable on zig-zag roads and turning at higher speed is smooth and comfortable. Ok, the mileage part - I driven the vehicle on petrol most of the time except the flat areas with LPG. The car was mostly on 2nd and 3rd gear and I got about 10-12km average with (AC switched off). I found the vehicle very easy to park off the narrow hilly road when many others were searching for suitable parking. It's very balanced at high speed.

Last time when I drove the car through Delhi-Dehradun highway (270kms), it was comfortable even on bumpy roads. I really like the suspension of spark. i got an average of about 17.5kms/ltr on LPG (ac off).
** If you can manage may look forward to have 'Teflon Coating' on ur vehicle. A cycle traveller scratches the left back door while travelling through the narrow Dehradun roads, that could have been avoided if I had teflon coatings. Let's see when may it be possible to remove the patch as it would cost about Rs.3000.
Exclusive look, excellent interior, very spacious, 3yrsFree Maintanance, Tubeless Tyres,comf driveboot space is a little less though the stepny placed intellectually
