Though Matiz had proven itself over a period, Spark needs to be watched independent of Matiz image

I have earlier (2002 to 2005) been using a Matiz and I was completely satisfied with its performance.Therefore I wanted to buy the Spark.I have seen the car in the showroom and am disappointed about two aspects.First one being that the instrument cluster has now been shifted to the centre of the dash board.I do not know what positive purpose it serves but it is a very unusual place to get used to, more so as the other car that I drive has its instrument cluster at the conventional place.Moreover ,the new position of the instrument cluster is such that it obstructs the view of left berm of the road ahead(I am reasonably tall).Unfortunateny,in India,left berm of the road ahead is the most important place to watch.GM, can easily do something to correct this .The second observation is that the dickey door of my prevous Matiz had beautiful opening and closing action dampened by the twin dampers,this remained so for all the three years that I used it.I tried this movement for the new SPARK. It had a thudding action while opening.Has GM done away with the dickey door dampners?I get worried as to where else has the cost or quality been cut by them .Or was it a defective piece?  I have now decided to wait for the time being.                          Good fuel economy,good utilisation of internal spacepoor ergonomics,poor perceived quality
