little chevy

I was a maruti loyalist for the last 15 years and at last we found that our little maruti 800 is making problems at her old age. So we planned to purchase a new car.

Ishort listed i10, spark, Zen and wagon R and found spark is superior to other three

Purchased a dazzling red color Spark LS from DD motors kollam, kerala. includes a Kenwood MP3 and a remote locking system and 3 year warranty

Interior

Spark’s interior is spacious compared to its exterior dimensions,. I am 6” tall and can easily sit in driver’s seat.  Rear seat is also better than wagon R and estilloo   

Exterior

This car really looks cute in the front .rear tail lamps can be little bit more stylish. Overall looks very small and not designed for India ha-ha as lot of well-wishers say that it is too small for the price. I feel the paint quality is not good as Hyundai vehicles

Engine and Ride

The car sores in this part as it is the most stable and  fun to drive vehicle  plz compare only < 4Lcs category.

Engine is super silent and efficient .A lot of people says that its having 8 valves and it is old technology ..but if you really go through the technology sites .spark is the most advanced  SEFI system  from siemens and it is far ahead of MPFI .Don’t gent confused  about valves per cylinder and all marketing gimmicks

After First service it gives 14 Kmpl on city and 17 Kmpl on highway with 100 A/C, mileage purely depends on driving skill

5 speed manual gear box is good but makes a little uneasiness from 4th to 5th and reverse. I am expecting it to improve after 5000Kms

Suspension system is also smooth and absorbs lot of bumps .Tires make a little bit of noise on rough roads may be becs of tubeless

Dealer

          Till yet no complaints to write against them. They are prompt and I feels that they have shortage of manpower as it takes a day for the first service. to complete

That’s it..if you need a comfortable small cute car for  a small family go for it. If you need more “Size”, showoff  for the money you paid  then buy wagon r /i10   and  be happy
