Value for Money - Base Version Chevrolet UVA

Bought this car on May 2009. My budget was around 4Lakhs. Initially, my budget to go for a hatchback, started with Alto, Spark, Wagon-R and Santro. Except Alto and Spark others were reaching around 4Lakh with PowerSteering and AC, and no discounts etc. Then, finally decided on Spark looks more stylish and comfort, didn't bother about fuel economy as my average driving is going to be less. When i about to make booking Spark, i noticed UVA, and my expectations for Indian road to have PowerSteering and AC and not bothered about other interiors and comfort except Space. When i look at the car, the very first moment i liked it because of SPACE which is essential when you go long drive with Family. So, i finally decided to spend 1more lakh to get this. So far, its around 2500 kms, the drive was comfortably smooth, AC is chilling on nights even on 1st level, on DAy, it takes a while and i think its common with all cars. Braking and control of the car is good, silent engine, except in hills, when u go on the wrong gear it gives noise and again its the same with any vehicle i think. Mileage, around 12km/l on city, highway i get around 16 to 18, did not check but this is just the approx value. Comfort is awsome and spent extra bugs to keep the interior lively, now the interior looks awsome too. Could not go beyond 100 due to the roads i normally drive. this gives a feeling of having a big car, not just hatchback though it is.Overall, its a good value for Money, buyers who is thinking on going for hatchback spending 4 to 4.5 , can think of buying this base version will fit into the budget. I did the same, my friend has i10 and now he is concerned about the space, style i did not bother and when u r inside the car, its only the drive and comfort which really matters. Back space is enough to keep One huge suitcase + one small and you can add some on top of it. What else you expect on a hatch back for this budget :)

Spacious, Value for Money,Dull interior, sometimes feel need more power
