An underrated car and surely better then hyundais and marutis.

When I was looking for a car initially spark was never on my mind. I was looking for Wagon R Duo. My wife suggested before booking wagon R why dont we simply go and just check cars from other companies. So we started trying. I went Chevrolet showroom to try AVEO-UVA. When I was checking UVA my wife glued to spark may be because of its looks. I called her to see UVA but she said first you come here and check spark. As I sat inside I got the inner feeling, this is what I wanted. I did not expected the car which looks so compact from outside will be spacious from inside. Cool beige interiors was giving a rich look. Sales executive then showed us all the features and I really liked it that too at the price which was lesser then other cars wagonr,santro, i10, Astar etc. On the day of delivery: One thing I made clear to the dealer that I will take car on the day of payment itself and will not wait for delivery. They agreed for 50% cash and 50% check. Just one day before delivery I booked it with marginal amount of Rs. 10000/-. They gave me following discount and accessories: Cash Discount: 40000/- Corp Discount: 5000/- 3 yrs free maintenance without any charges. Since PS model does not come with body colored bumpers I bargained for that and they agreed to give me body colored bumpers for free. On the day of delivery the sales executive and cashier had some discussion and they told me to pay whole amount in cash or by DD. I said that yesterday you agreed for 50% by check. After some arguments they agreed to give me some more accessories for free (foot mats, perfume etc.) And I agreed for making whole payment in cash. I checked accessories prices in the showroom but found them bit costly so decided to get it done from outside. Overall experience with dealer was pleasant. By 4 in the evening they handed over me the car. Performance and Fuel Economy: So far as performance is considered I found it good. At first gear its quick (and yes number of persons sitting inside does not makes a difference). It even picks up at second gear without much problem. Even at the speed of 30-40 you can shift to 4th gear and it will run smoothly without creating vibrations that generally comes when car is running at lower gears. One thing I notice at 2nd and 3rd gear even if we have not presses accelerator pedal, the car rolls on itself (of course it should not fall below minimum speed where we need to push the pedal). A little problem I face is when I have to shift it to back gear. Sometimes it stuck and I have to press clutch again. Also with AC I feel the engine power becomes bit low, means we have to shift a gear ahead compared to non AC. means the power you achieve in 3rd gear in non AC, you will get in 2nd gear with AC. Fuel economy: Nothing much to say. In city I get 15 kms without AC and on highways 18 kms without AC. With AC we can subtract 2 kms. Owners of wagon R and santro informed me that its better then there cars. Handeling and drive quality: Power steering is smooth. However sometimes feel less sensitive in case of sharp turns. Being compact from outside I feel driving and parking in city conditions is easy. Comfort: Space is enough for 5 people and they can sit comfortably. Leg space is good for both front and back seat. Owners of santro and zen estillo told me about this. Overall I am happy and satisfied with the spark. I have gone on 2 long journies and it was a nice experience. Its definitely a value for money for the price at which it comes.
