I PURCHASED SPARK LT ,with very high expectations and choose to take highend model  ..i was maruti user earlier ...


I m little upset with performance ,1st)  Tailpipe of silencer mufler deposits heavy carbon which is not in suzuki cars.


Fuel efficency is again poor ,expected is 17 km/ltre but it gives average of 12


3) Problem of noice in wheels is also thr


4)Seats are not that comfortable as expected


NEEDS LOT OF IMPROVEMENT !!!

    By Ram:

    Looks like Saxena doesn't read the reviews and goes with lot of expectations... I do not think anywhere it is said to give 17 just like that in the cities.. may be on highways it might give you close to 17...

    Really i'm wondering whether "Saxena" bought a spark or maruti Alto. ;) or just spreading roomers against Spark......

    I'm using spark for more than 6 months. And i bought it after made testdrive of Santro, Alto .

    I can strongly tell onething that spark is the one & only best car comparing to all the samll cars.

    Anyone can directly go and book spark.

    Wat a smooth wat a performance wow.. Salute to my SPARK. And proud to be a owner of Spark.

    I have been using this car for the last 7 months and i find that this car is wholesome awesome. My expectation from the car was not that high may be for that i am happy in whatever satisfaction i am getting from it.

    Positive Point:
    1. Its very smooth to drive.
    2. Looks small from outside but interior space has been very nicely managed.

    Negative Point:
    1. Pick-up is not that good.
    2. Ground clearance creates problem.
    3. Interior could have been little more attractive
    4. Mileage is a

    Hi all,

    I have an idea of buying for Spark LT....and the GM is almost gone (dival).......
    Is it advisable to go for Spark now.....

    big show maybe bais...................

    don't fellow others check yourself........

    most reviews r misguiding................

    you do your own class & take your time....

    its your money & you r going to suffer

    for wrong decision. ask only your close

    friends &family member to choose.......

    making fool..............

    getting so less after paying so much......

    It should be Value-for-Money like Swift(d)

    Even indigo.CS is vfm...

  25. on 26 Aug, 2009 at 12:59 AM Anil77

    buy low problem car ie.swift...from very good-dealer And No & Never to i10/i20/i30/spark/u-va/logan/ikon/LPG/CNG/ZEN/800-LPG/

    it is most advisable to all middle-class person who can't change their car within a year or so if realizing the mistake later.

  27. on 18 Sep, 2009 at 05:15 AM S Ghatak (Kolkata)

    Hi everybody, purchased the car a week ago,but depressed by its performance.compared to maruti cars- mileage is poor( not >13 even on high roads).metal quality not good- got easily dented when a cyclist fell over on it accidentally.Though a stylish and comfortable car it is neither fit for indian roads nor pockets.

  28. on 24 Sep, 2009 at 01:21 AM Anil77

    hi Vikrant Kulkarni,

    always keep in mind, no to CNG and never to LPG. Itsyour life.

    if u have money go for alto, no maintains car. santro may be costly on lost-run

    also avoid spark. it sucks...

  30. on 27 Sep, 2009 at 01:21 AM Anil

    hi Vikrant Kulkarni,


    wait for future or buy hybrids, kyuki public sab janti hain.

    donn't buy gas-car ie.LPG & CNG from today,save your money and also avoid life-risk. completely no to the gas.

    you can save environment by regular servicing of your car means better fuel combustion & lower pollution.

    Using Spark LT for 1 year now. No major issue, ideal for small family. Only problem I felt is ground clearance. If I have 3 passengers in rear seat, and the car goes over a steep hump, the bottom part kisses the road. But, people say this issue is there with EVERY small car. I rate this car 8/10

  32. on 06 Oct, 2009 at 07:11 PM aa

    all above comments r enough to reject spark as car or as an option to buy............

  33. on 09 Oct, 2009 at 08:49 PM Davenaren18

    i think it is the best compaque car in india i liked its interiors very much

  34. on 13 Oct, 2009 at 09:17 AM S Ghatak (Kolkata)

    Looks,style and riding comfort are the only positive side .fuel economy very poor compared to other maruti cars.dont know yet how would be spare parts availability and services.
