This Car cost 1000 more than it's straight competetiors Maruthi Wagon R DUO and Santro Xing GLS LPG.(After Considering Discounts for all the three cars), except the 3yrs maintanence promise by chevorlet, which would save 20,000 to 25,000 in the due course of ownership of this vehicle. The Pick Up and Power is ok, but surely less when compared to the other two.
I am not sure about the mileage, i just test drove this car. Interiors are very good, infact better than the other two cars. Seats are good, but headrest for the rear passengers are missing, this would have an impact during long drives.
Speedometer looks very outdated and makes us feel very slaggy. Gear shift is not very smooth for a small car.
Paying an extra 1500 gives the dash and door panels a very good wooden finish. Its worth spending on this. Gives a rich look and changes the environment inside the car.
Spark is powered by 995cc, 3 cylinder engine, whereas Wagon R is powered by 1061cc 4 cylinder engine. Surely Wagon R is a better option.
Moreover the ability to diagonise any problem in the car is more easy in Wagon R because of the 32bit microprocessor(16-bit in santro GLS LPG) when compared to SPARK.
Most of all the service networks are very less when compared to maruthi and hyundai.
Anyway it is a third option in LPG cars in this segment. People who dont want to go for either maruthi or hyundai can go for this car.
This car should have been priced a lot less to attract buyers to go for it when they have better and superior options available from maruthi and hyundai.
Consider this before buying. IMPORTANT. In chennai thsi SPARK LS LPG cost you 4,24,000 and a cash discount of 30,000 is eligible. And the cost the SPARK LS Petrol is around 3,85,000(Not sure). and a discount of 50,000 is eligible.
So getting a petrol is benefical. So on road the same car(SPARK LS) in petrol variant comes nearly 60,000 less when comapared to getting a LPG/Petrol SPARK LS.
Verdict: Wagon R DUO or Santro GLS-LPG is a better option in the same pricing. Petrol SPARK can be condisered because of the dicounts and 3yrs maintanence promise by chervolet.3yrs Free Maintanance, Tubeless Tyres, 27litre LPG TankSteering Looks Outdated, Knee Comfort is not good for tall people in driver's seat
