We just bought a Spark 25 days ago, and it's a beast. Though it's been driven only 150-200 kms till date and no trip > 20km was made, it's current performance has given a fairly good idea of what's it gonna be in the future. Thanks to recession, I got it for 3,21,000 [Insurance + Registration included]
Highlights
1. A powerful and ultra-smooth engine. For those who're crying about the lack of valves, don't go by the specs, feel it run.
2. A highly efficient cabin when it comes to sound-proofing. If you've rolled your windows fully, you can't be sure if the engine is running or not.
3. A nice AC.
4. Little features and pockets at every place. More than what you could wish for.
5. Best machine in it's range. Estilo equivalent model i.e. LXi is expensive by about Rs. 20,000. Slightly more expensive than Alto but gives additional displacement of 202 cc [Alto-796cc, Spark - 998cc]
6. Watery steering. Doesn't require any effort to turn.
7. Excellent feeling while driving. Zen[older model], Alto, 800 feel like toys but this one actually feels like a machine.
8. A little low mileage. Though it might be because it's new and hasn't been tested on long trips.
9. The worst thing is that it's so lovely that you can't bear to see a speck of dust on it. You keep running around it with a bucket of water and towel.
Again it hasn't been tested on long trips, and long time, these are only short time observations. But if these do remain, it's a best buy, esp. now, when we got a discount of about 45,000 due to recession.
