On Navarathri day i have booked the spark car.


they are very good in terms of service offered by GM. I’m fed up seeing more old cars on road so I decided to go for newly faced car.. I know these are old wine in new bottle or new wine in an old bottle, I don't know which one is correct, but I love a change.


Comparing this car to all small cars in India it is ever better car…and they giving us warranty upto 3yrs, that means how GM are confident about Quality..i think so...


but GM should reduce the car price amount around Rs 75,000 to Rs 1,00,000. It will be good. Becoz of these cost factor we are getting confused which car model and respetive to the manufactures we have opt to.

    You are right,For this product to be Value for money product, the price has to be reduced drastically.While your attribute wise review is close to my heart,the over all rating adds up to 3.1, rounding off, to 3 as against 5 given by you.You may wish to revise the same

    Hey Prashanth, Don't you think that's asking for too much? Reducing price by 75k to 1 lac? Then even Santro and Zen prices should be reduced by that much. Gurkanwal, can you please tell me what is so great in Zen and Santro that a price tag of 4 lacs (approx) is ok while the same is not ok for Spark. I am comparing the prices of the top versions in these cars. Please enlighten me because after reading the comments I feel either I have made a fool of myself or you guys are hellbent on Spark.

    A small car that is refined and road-worthy for city driving is the phrase that best describes in heavy traffic jams!!! And pot holes!!
    bought this vehicle in Nov 07 and still love the feel and drive of this car. I bought a LT model This is my second car and was chosen for the city ( bangalore - synonymous for bad traffic). I had decided for this car after the test drive of Wagon R, Santro. Both the WR and Santro have a bad dashboard design that look outdated. WR looks old and boxed. Santro

    continue....Both the WR and Santro have a bad dashboard design that look outdated. WR looks old and boxed. Santro is zippy , but the vibrations are felt in the steering wheel, has a bad rear suspension, also i care for the brand name and image. continue....

    continue.....The best i love about Spark is the good looks and decent yet distinct interiors. A very quiet and refined engine, A/C is good. continue.....

    from this low-stress car –even after comparing with Santro’s engine. However, the engine pick-up speed is comparatively slower than the initial excitement it manages to infuse in drivers: zero to hundred comes at 15.93 seconds as the force is delivered with less of a vengeance as required, when full passenger capacity is reached and the AC is on, though overtaking may require a switch into lower gear for smoother performance, i'll warn you. on highway it can meet Honda civic but this is small c

    at highway speeds and is less prone to suffering adversely when faced with cross-winds, so enviable ride-quality for hatchbacks is guaranteed for all passengers in the Spark. Quiet and efficient suspension, Apollo tubeless tires grant noiseless driving pleasure while a light power steering and compact size enable fuel-efficiency of 11-13Kmpl and 15-18Kmpl for city and highway driving, respectively.

    I met accident and recovered through Reliance Insurance. The amount is around 40,000. Rs. at that it was clocked around 200 Km only!
    My one and only dislike about this vehicle is the low drumming noise that is produced on rough roads at high speed!! Ha ha ho ho He he he he ….but I love it he he he…
    Due know after repairing at service center spark covered about 2500KM in and out city. Without any hiss!!!

    Even if you are driving in fifht gear and reduce the speed till 20 kmph, car doesnt stop. That
    Overall it is good vehicle if you are not the typecast Tom Dick Harry.
    These have Sequential Fuel Injection because of which you need not the gears frequently, further if you remove your legs from the accelerator, it won’t knock & stop but would continue rolling (which normally is not with other cars of the same category)

    A car that not only won our hearts but accolades aplenty; however the Spark promises more when u drives it more!!!!!!! And its a powerful beast need to be tamed he he he

I am confused weather to buy Spark LT or Aveo base model.. the price difference is 90k but Aveo Uva is much bigger and looks good for a person like me with a big build. what should I do?

  16. on 02 Sep, 2008 at 02:32 PM Anil

    hi samiullah, why you spend more money 90k..please check the new car that is TATA's new Vista...somethingnew and so special and wheel base and ground base clearance is high!!..please don't look any car models which is 3 yrs old..go for new models provided by any car manufatures.
