SPARK- My baby

Exterior It's designed by some famous Italian brand (don't remember the name though). My Spark LS looks cute from outside. It looks much better than the Wagon R (dabba) or Alto.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Contrary to what people say, Spark is much roomier than Wagon R. Wagor R is only tall but there is no room inside. I have experienced sitting in the rear of Wagon R and it is not at all roomy. In fact, Spark has much better space in the rear. Spark is comfortable while driving. In terms of features, I can assure that Spark has the most to offer in comparison to other cars in this segment.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very smooth, noiseless and very peppy to drive be it in city or on highways. Suspensions are also pretty comfortable. Gear shifting is smooth except for the reverse gear which is a bit hard sometimes but that is not an issue (how many times do we use the reverse gear?). In terms of service, though I didn't get the 3 years warranty (I was given the option of that much discount), I am pretty happy with with the service. The service is not at all costly and it is a low maintenance car. Though one cannot compare number of Chevrolet service centres with Maruti, but there are a number of service centres at least in Mumbai and the network is ever expanding. I bought the car in Feb 2011 and Alhamdulillah, so far haven't many complaints (only few cosmtic complaints which were well attended by the servide centre). AC is also quite good. There is a slight problem in pick up in the 2nd and 3rd gear but that is miniscule and definitely not a show stopper

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is exceptional in city and on highways. No complaints.

Final Words Spark is my first baby after marriage. I am very happy with it's performance and is the best car in this segment. What else can you expect in this segment? Guys who are planning to buy Wagon R or Alto, request you to please test drive Spark and take a decision, I am sure you will change your mind once you test drive it. SPARK is definitely every rupee spent.

Areas of improvement Pick up.
