शेवरले सेल [2012-2014] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

Exterior Looks good, nice style etc.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Poor design of power window at the driver seat. Horn design on Stearing is not at all good. Chevy Logo on the Stearling weel is not good. No Driver seat height adjustment at all.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Poor pickup at 2nd gear, WORST MILEAGE getting around 11-12kms/ltr that too without AC, with-AC it gives 9kms which is very poor. Dont blindly trust the Sales guys who promote this vehicle by saying 21/km which is a FALSE-Info.

Ride Quality & Handling I have driven around 1500kms and comfort wise, this car is good. But not suitable for Indian traffic and roads as per the mileage i'm getting.

Final Words Not suitable for ppl in India as our main point of concern is Mileage.

Areas of improvement Surely the Mileage is the main area for Chevy to improve on and to reduce false promises during sales. First servcie is at 1000k or a month which ever is earlier and 2nd one is at 7500kms or 6months whichever is earlier. This should be reconsidered as 7500kms is quite more and many ppl may not reach this in 6 months. Moreover, they dont do any service during the 1st check as they just call PDI check and not so useful.

Exterior

 Gives a huge look, no doubt. Particularly, when upgrading from ALTO Lxi, it seems like a jump. The boot seems to accomodate anything and everything you can think of !!

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Quite spacious. Three adults at the rear seat can comfortably travel a distance. Enough headroom. Infact, the interior has been thoughtfully designed. The square box, near the gear lever, is very useful. Instead of two cup holders, this box is quite big and serves many purposes, particularly on a long drive. There are two other holders ( We use it for ash tray and perfume ) are quite handy. Door pockets, space below the rear seat is very very useful. Rear arm rest with cup holders are an added advantage.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Owned this WHITE CHEVY last October. Not much idea on the engine details, but noissues so far. The gear box is  smooth. Sometimes, the reverse gives a problem, i.e, after you put on to reverse, the reverse music starts, but the gear has actually not been applied. You can feel the difference. Once applied, it's okay. Had a drive for about 1300 KM last week, quite surprised to see an average of about 21 KM/Litre ( both with AC ON and OFF, crossing cities and run on highway ).

Ride Quality & Handling

Superb. Ground clearence is a bit low and needs to be taken care of. Potholes created during rains can be testing at time. Rather to slow down, than to be adventurous!

Final Words

  You need to love your car, the car will listen to you !! Take good and proper timely care, you will be cared for. It's part of our family. We are proud of our new family member.

Areas of improvement  

 Not sure, what to ask for, with this price tag. Will get back, once I find out !!

Till then, drive responsibly.....

Exterior Blend of many veriants.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Most specious.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good engine performans,  silent gear box.fuel economy godd

Ride Quality & Handling Nice.

Final Words  good average as customers expected in the most competative world like in India.

Areas of improvement Fuel efficiency  and seating hight is required.  the publicity of vehicle is not reaching common man in the rural areas.

I purchased it on 14 th Fubruary 2013 at Kun auto mobile Hydearbad. so far I took journey of 5500 km. So far one service don. Price of the vehicle is not more in the competitive world. But I think it will be better to reduce price to meet challenge from Honda Amage and Maruthi Dzire.

at the starting i was unhappy with fuel efficiency. but it is rectified by the work shop. Now i am total satisfaction. Now I can say without any hesitation that it is a family satisfaction car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) It is really shocking and hurting ,when you take a new car and it starts making noise on the very second day of its purchase.

I took Sail -1.2LT on 10th nov 2013 and on 12th nov 2013 I could feel that the dashboard is making nloise and from then onward the same noise has been continously increasing.

Inspite of reading similar reviews from various customers in the past i took this car (only because of the promise given to me from the Representative - Praveen Jha- Safdaurgang enclave branch).

The same noise, I could also see in the test car that they have - but based on various promises and assurances i decided to take the top model ,but it has beecome a pain now ,as these representatives want me to go and visit the workshop in the very first week.

Never expected such bad after sale service, that no one is even coordianting this issue and getting my problem resolved.

I would request all user, not to prefer sail - all variants(1.,1.3 petrol diesel, all) -As all the cars have similar disturbing dashboard noise - due to cheap plastic interior.

Please refrain - All of you. The Dashborad.

Final Words Please avoid- strictly.

Areas of improvement After Sale services - No call was given for any feedback (its been one complete week )

Thanks,

I am Varatharajan from Chennai, own a LS model Chevrolet sail and its appearance is so good. I used to ride 30 km per day. Within city it gives 14 km mileage with AC and at highways 16 kmpl. But at high spped milege drops sharply. Good riding quality and it is easy to adjust the steering position. My friends of Maruthi Alto and Ritz owners tested my Sail and commented that steering control and gear shifting are  excellent than the Maruthi. No vibration upto 120 kM/hr. AC is also good, but there is no climate control. Some of the cons are difficulty of using  horn switch and the quality of seats are not so good.The rate of acceleration is not so good at highways and it is difficult to overtake other high speed cars. Service of TVS  motor, Chennai is very good. I drove just 1500 km only and so far I didn't face any problems in the car. I am fully satisfied with this car.

Final Words I hv booked a SAIL from SHIVA MOTORS (NOIDA) Sandy Grey and paid token money on 09th FEB but I hvnt recd the car as yet . There is NO FEEDBACK. The sales ppl at dealer point as as clue-less as a poorly prepared student in board exam. I am so frusted that I am calling back my money.

I have visited them alteast thrice in order to get the status but to no avail. The sale person who was supposed to be handling my case has vanished since HOLI, his mobile is ''switched-off'' and I am clue-less as to what to do??

Suggest getting move on with others as this wait is simply ''end-less''.

Very aptly said - there is some internal issues with GM which is not communicated to outside world.

Mine is no. 3 in the booking order.

Exterior : Front looks cool, back without chrome fittings is average but with chrome fittings it looks better.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Average interior looks , good space and driving comfort is better. Using tilted steering hides the indicator lights and speedo meeter, with less indicators ticker sound driver should be concious to turnoff the indicators while overtaking vehicles on road.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 1.2 Engine is not best for sedan but comfortable to reach 120+ and maintain it. After first service with 60 KMPH to 80 KMPH constant speed during mileage test my car gave 22KMPL reading which is unexpected.

Ride Quality & Handling

Initailly the wheel alignment was not good after first 1 month checkup with mechanics manual correction it is fine now. 

Riding quality on highways is better.

Final Words

Except the average interiors, it is value for money.

Areas of improvement  

 Interiors are below average looking and this needs a major improvement.

Exterior

A True sedan in this category...Definetly the best looking car among Amaze, Desire, Manza..probably on par with Etios...Smooth finish with near curves 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Very spacious...and comfortable seating..Nice music system with bluteooth capability..could have been better with a sunglass holder..

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 I have been driving this for sometime now and this car is a gem to drive around...great breaking and suspension, smooth gear shift and i am easily getting 18kmpl on diesel with ac in the city...

Ride Quality & Handling

Great suspension...a true sedan like feel with no jerks... got a great control with the smooth steering

Handling this car is so easy 

Final Words

 If you are choosing a car around 8 lakhs segment, go for this...having done a test drive of all cars in this segment, this car will make you feel good and best

Areas of improvement  

 Engine noise could be reduced, however with a cool music system, this does not cause much of irritation..

Bought a sail LS ABS sedan version from KLN motors, chennai, with just 4 kms of drive on the way home had a rear back side some irritating noise, and with in two days some terrible dashboard noise came through, barly 300 kms of drive and alreday the machine has gone to the service center, the guys were hopeful that they can fix the problem, they also supect some shokabrober problem, wondering how come a world leading auto company has a hopeless production line, crossing all the fatory checking, PDI and given to the customer a faulty vehicle??!!! HOPE GM takes this seriously and rectify the fault.

Hope this guys change the necessary parts and give a peace of mind and driving sense to me, but hate to take the new ones to the repair. What is the point buying the new one? if we cant get a sense of a new car and the charm of owning one.

I have alos found some of the pasrts are looking like a cheap plastic, the shokabrobers are not great as it gives a bumpy feel inside.
