Cuteness meets zippyness

Well to start, this is one car which stands out on the raod thanks to its unique styling both from inside and outside. The headlamps of the car renders it a very unique signature and this was reinforced by the winky winky spark ad by GM. From the rear also the styling of Spark again makes it stand out albiet in a good way.

Inside, the spark again brought in a first in this segment (atleast i think so) with its centrally located instrument console. Well, not that I am too happy about it because now you will have more backseat drivers commenting about the speed at which you are driving. And yes, the spark is quite a bit spacious contrary to what you may end up thinking from its exterior dimensions. 

Coming to the heart of the car, the engine...i was stormed by it. Unlike its older predecessor, Matiz which had a chronic pick up problem with the AC running, the spark is a revelation. Its zippy and combined with the light steering...it brings a smile to your face while driving it. But then, like one of the laws of nature...the spark is not in any way perfect. Call it frugal engineering or whatever, GM has gone very stingy when it comes to insulating the rear of the car from suspension and road noise. Back seat drivers will always find it difficult to concentrate on your driving skills thanks to the constant drumming noise. But altogether, this is one decent package for any person in the market for a small car.
