    Date of Service: 24.12.2009 at Megha Motors, Lucknow.

    Amount: Rs.1500/- in which Brake pads replaced (Cost 832/- + Tax).

    HOW I FEEL: Presently, The best car in the segment (better than Estilo, WagonR, Santro) in terms of looks(though personal) and comfort. Like other cars of its segment, it has comfortable space for 4, and can fit 5 people without being too uncomfortable. Feel of the car is very good, like big cars. Plastic quality is really very good and Its center mounted Speedometer looks great and usually found in high-end cars like Nissan, Audi etc… You can see the same in new Indica Vista.. why? Because its good!!! So, if anyone will say that its uncomfortable, I will say No, Its Not!! It took only one day to get use to the speedometer and with this position everyone in the car can see on which speed car is running.

     

    ENGINE: Spark has 1.0L engine which outputs 63bhp of power and 90 Nm of torque. Spark's engine is well tested & successfully running everywhere in the world. The engine is super silent & in idle position it produce Zero Vibration. The car felt quite stable on high speed of over 130 kmph as I drove at that speed for sometime on Lucknow-Bareilly Highway. I feel at that speed Spark is better than Wagon-R & Santro. Slow Speed... Well anyone can drive it on 3rd gear @20kmph only, No jerks, no noise... infact Even if you are driving it on 5th gear and reduce the speed to 20 kmph, car doesn't stop and u wont feel any kinda jerk. I tested it completely.

     

    SUSPENSION: It has gas filled suspension, first in its class and I feel the difference between Spark & Wagon-r/Santro (We've used both Santro & Wagon-r for quite a long time so I can compare them to Spark). In spark I feel that its suspension quality is much -much closer to big Cars, Sedans... Riding Quality???Riding quality surpasses Santro & Wagon-r.


    MILEAGE: Spark is the best fuel efficient car after Alto. I am getting around 14kmpl with 100% a.c. on now, (Before 1st service minimum mileage was 13.80kmpl) and Maximum I counted was 17.40 kmpl without a.c. I was not expecting such mileage from Spark. Even so many are getting over 19kmpl (Dont really know how?) Though Mileage Depends on driving conditions but I would like to say the Actual city mileage of Santro & Wagon-r with a.c. in city driving condition is around 12kmpl only (Tank full to tank full method) So, as far as mileage is concern there is no comparision, Spark is definitely better.


    SPACE INSIDE: As I mentioned earlier it has very good space for 4 like santro and wagon-r but 5 can sit without being too uncomfortable. They have used inner space very well, small places here n there, for glasses, cigarette case, for bottles. The feel is there while driving Spark. Boot Space is small but I dont think it really matters most with city cars, almost same you will get in every car. I have bought LT (Top Model) and with Folding Seats option I carried luggage on rear seat too while we were only 3 on highway journey.  

    NEGATIVES: As far as my opinion is concern, I would say I got everything which one can expect from a small city car. Tubeless tyres and all and mainly the price which I paid, I am more than Satisfied with Spark.

     
    Dealer Network is other issue with G.M. Since service network is limited it might be difficult for someone if he stuck in some village area. Though G.M is having service centre in every known and famous city, so no problem for those who belongs to city which is having G.M. Service centre because Quality of service they are providing is too good. G.M. is very aggressive these days and in next couple of years you will find so many service points of G.M. here n there.

    Spark is very good car to go for. Just take a test drive and then take your decision, am sure once you drive the car, you will feel the difference between Spark & other small cars. Now cashless service is available for 3yrs/45000 kms which is an added advantage as you need not to pay a single rupee in next 3 years on Regular Maintenance. 

    I have rated it 5 star means Excellent because after using Spark, I feel Spark is an Excellent car. If you like Spark than take a test Drive and check all the points.
