      At the time of purchasing the Sail UVA Diesel Car. Sales Representative says that this car will give you 22.1 km average per Litre. However, from the starting it is giving 5 - 6 km Average per litre. When I Complained to the service department, they didn't respond to the problem which I am facing.

      Finally, On May 8, 2013. They did the drive test 3 times and found that yes, car is giving the Average of 5 KM per litre. On May 18, 2013 they handover the car to me with this statement that now the average of your car is good. I again complaint on May 20, 2013 regarding the Average Issue and still the car with them.

      Have a strong feeling that Chevrolet company stolen my money by giving me the wrong commitment regarding the Average of Sail UVA Diesel Car.

      Nowadays, I am crying with Sail UVA Diesel because I Purchased the Sail UVA Car by taking the SBI Car Loan and Average of the car is too bad, their service department is too bad because they doesn't provide me the solution till date, response is too bad because I sent a email to them 4 days back and didnot receive the positive response till date. from the service department, I am waiting for their response since May 8, 2013. Why I purchased Sail UVA ? I am asking this question with me every minute.

      Fuek Economy is too BadNot Good

      Exterior

      If you like cute, sporty contraptions.. then this car is not for you. This is a strong, no-nonsense, hard working car. The front visage is probably the best int he business. The front grille and the chrome lick exudes masculinity. But the rear is a bit of a let down. The sloping roof makes the rear quite low as well.... which may hamper rear window visibility at times. I've installed roof rails from the Beat... which gives it a sportier, SUV-like look. Probably GM should look at offering it as standard fitment. Would had loved to have electrically foldable ORVMs and rear sensors though.

       

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

      When it comes to space.. the Sail gives even some of the bigger players a serious run for their money. There is oodles of it everywhere... even with the front seats pushed far back. The dash is conventional and may seem a tad dated to some. But thats the way I like it. Window controls may take a bit getting used to... but once you do it feels a lot better than the conventional window mounted ones. The Audio is pretty basic.. bu the Bluetooth is a bonus. Would had loved to have steering mounted audio controls. AC is decent.....but no climate control.

       

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

       Have not had the chance to really test the engine out. I have a 1.2 lt petrol, which seems a tad underpowered in the lower gears.... but it really evens out after 40 km/hr. Gear shift is smooth. But u need to keep this baby rev happy most of the time. Haven't had the chance to calculate the milege.. but I hve been promosed 14-15 in city conditions.

      Ride Quality & Handling

       Suspension is a dream.... as I read somewhere "it gobbles potholes for breakfast". Ride quality is more sedan class than hatch-back. So may not feel as nifty and zippy to some. But again this works for me.

      Final Words

      This is defintely not a fun car.. with lots of gizmos all around. Go for it if you prefer masculine looks and want a sturdy car with oodles of space. More for people who think with their "head" rather than their heart.

      Areas of improvement  

      Rear design, sluggish in low gears (esp. with AC), weak headlight, rear sensors. Adding a pair of roof rails, boosts the flair quotient instantly.

       

      Muscular looks, Sturdy build, Spacious, Superb suspension, good audio with bluetoothRear design, sluggish in low gears (esp. with AC), weak headlight, basic audio

      I have brought Chevrolet Sail U-VA in Feb 2013. This is my worst decision of my life. I am briefing couple of incidents though there are plenty to mention.


      Incident 1: In March I have given my vehicle at Trident Chevrolet body shop as there was scratch. They took 8 days to paint one door. More than delay, they blamed insurer for the delay. Thought I signed insurance papers when I dropped my car, looking at the money they approved, I decided to pay full amount and not to go for insurance. But they cheated me by collecting money both from Insurer  and me. I came to know about this after 3 months when I called Insurer. If it happened by mistake, they should have called me and refunded my money or they should have refunded to Insurer. What if I was not told by the insurer about my settlement? How can they charge me double?


      Worst of all: My Car is Super red in color. They used dark red to paint my door. It was not differentiated initially as they polished my car. Next day when I noticed, I clearly noticed the color. When I called them, they promised to correct in next service to which I have to wait for appointment again leave my car at body shop for a week.


      Incident 2: In June I again gave my vehicle at Trident body shop, Kalyannagar as bumper is broken. It is more than 25 days and I am still waiting for my vehicle. Every day they narrate one story and postphone delivery date. In what context 25 days to replace bumper is reasonable? To what extent it is fair at Trident Staff to keep giving new deadlines everyday?


      Final words: I was using Maruti Swift before this. I had plenty options when it comes to repair and service and more over Pratham motors was ultimate service provider. They never failed their deadline to deliver vehicle. They never lied. When it comes to Chevrolet, there are only 2 options one is Trident and the other is Kropex. I heard Kropex is more or less same as Trident (Though I never experienced at Kropex). This made my life miserable.


      I am planning to sell it of soon. I have raised complaint with General Motors and awaiting for their action. More over sail is no where comparable to Maruti Swift. Please give preference to after sale service.

      I have purchased Chevrolet Sail uva LS abs diesel on 31st march 2013 and this is the worst decision of my life. after two months of purchase  2100 KM on board my car’s engine got stuck. I took my car to the nearest service center, after inspection the Service engineer said that there is an engine problem and whole engine replace under warranty. He said that crank shaft pulley bolt has been broken. And now after 2400 km with new engine, problem starts again. My car refuse to start and now Chevrolet engineer said that my car’s engine will be changed once again. Why I spend 7 lacs on a diesel car. I am crying with sail uva because I purchased sail uva by taking HDFC car loan. Why I purchase this car? I am asking this question with me every minute every hour. Chevrolet stole my money. I want my money back.Total three & half months of purchase after only 4500 km run, engine changed twice and not only me there are many other customers who facing this kind of problem with Chevrolet sail diesel or sail uva diesel and also Chevrolet stop production of sail and sail uva diesel models since june 2013 because of quality issues and they are not able to find the root cause now. Why Chevrolet launch this kind of product without doing much R & D. Chevrolet cheating with the poor customers. What should I do now…? Take legal action…? 

      Exterior Old styling, not belongs to 2013.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Bad interior, Poor quality Plastic, dash board rattling sound, front window glass noise when half rolled down.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Mileage is too bad. My car giving only 10-11 KMPL in city 13-14 KMPL on highway. 

      Ride Quality & Handling Steering vibrating too much on bad roads. You are struggling to control the car on bad roads. Steering response is not good on highway.

      Final Words This is the Worst chinese product from General Motors. Never Buy this car. Do NOT even think of buying any Chevrolet car.

      Areas of improvement NA.

      NothingBad Engine, Outdated interiors, Poor Quality Plastic

      Exterior Looks good in style. From Outside one can imagine that it is a Roomy car.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) It is more Spacious and comfy than Swift and i20 in terms of Legroom. Nothing to say much about Interior as it suffices basic need, but it dont give Rich feeling like one get in Swift or i20. Centralised Power window concept is bit old, recently Verito upgraded it's location from Centralised to driver side door. This concept should have been considered before launch.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Petrol Engine is smooth, noise free and nice pick up. GM is claiming for 18.2 Km/l, which is good as compared to market expectation. Gear shifting movement is also good.

      Ride Quality & Handling Smooth ride & smooth handling. Dont have much knowledge about Suspension, but i dont get much jerks on normal road.

      Final Words The Car is over all good to buy, but merely 20-30 thousand less than the No.1 car in this segment like Swift, does not give lucrative offer. 

      Areas of improvement NA.

      Looks good in Style, More Spacious, More Legroom for backseat passenger, Fuel economy is good.Interior is okey-doke, don't give Rich feeling like Swift, AC need to be more Powerful

      Exterior I own a Sandrift grey amazing colour with little home work that I need not keep on dusting it .The very look of the front end is very impressive as that of a high end vehicle

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)  climate control at avery mind blowing pace of just only 20 to 30 sec to cool the cabin.superb space, my kid runs within the car.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox As if now I cant update but seems to be promising

      Ride Quality & Handling  I really love it . Steering is alittle bit light but hope you dont opt this car for a out performer.

      Final Words Out of 40 cars in this segment no car has all the features,comfort,space at this price.

      Areas of improvement Rear to be improved and interiors a little bit of luxury but keep the price in mind.

      My dealer ORANGE CHEVROLET Visakhapatnam and his Team really a promised delivery on time as well as the service and moreover I wanted the dealers label on any part of my car where it would look better.Iwill even update photos.

      Comfort , space ,luxury like a sedan and the price and the promise chevrolet and its dealersRear not that good but add a spoiler you cant believe with roof rails and spoiler

      Exterior The exterior is good. Especially chevorlet symbol in golden color.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) When we come to the interiors chevrolet not even giving option to choose intetiore colors.need to improve in the seat cover color. There is no seat height adjustment.there is no temp controller. when we come to the steering wheel they not even make that one in gold color, the chevy symbol in black not suites well and I dont like it.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Are OK.

      Ride Quality & Handling I ride my sail uva for one thousand KM handling and ride quality is good.

      Final Words Money value car, comfort and spacious. 

      Areas of improvement THERE IS SOME LITTLE SCRATCHES NEAR BUMPER. WHEN I WENT TO FIRST SERVICE. THEY NOT EVEN PROVIDING A SOLUTION FOR IT. - POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

      CHEVROLET HAS TO GIVE TRAINING TO ITS DEALERS AFTER SALES SUPPORT. GENERAL MOTORS HAS TO COME WITH THE PLAN OF UPGRADATION OF EXISTING VECHICLES. LIKE UPGRADING SAIL UVA WITH TEMP CONTROLLER.

      Good looking car with more space.Bad interiors, poor customer support

      Exterior

       Front looks great, rear looks ok not bad as days go by you will get use to it

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

       Space..space, sp..ace!!! one of the best in the segment for the money you pay. Only bad thing about this car is the power window switches are placed in the wrong place as its difficult to use but you will get use to it.

      There is more for what you pay in this car no other car in this segment gives you this for the "price". Yes we might get more but on the other hand the cost also increase but this is a value for money car.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

       When I took delivery of this car the OOD was reading 38KM and the pull of the car was linear not even equal to maruti 800 and I thought that I have made a big mistake in choosing this car but after i clocked 100KM it started to blend with my kind of driving and it started to pull well. I think for the first 100-150KMs the car will feel very slugish but once you cross 100KMs it will behave as how you want it to be. However the acceleration is linear and what I found on the highway was it pull really well and hits100KM speed very quickly. I dont regret for buying this car right now i am getting 15KM/L in Highway and 11 KM/L in city. Just like the engine performance changed I am hopping that the mileage will also change after first service. Keeping my fingers crossed.

      Ride Quality & Handling

       Rides well on  bad road, to get a good ride experience I would suggest to fill your tyre with nitrogen and keep it 29 or 28 psi on all tyres in Highway and 30psi in city (Can be tried in all cars) 😊

      Final Words

       Its a value for money car. It has very good space to carry 5 adult comfortably. I was not looking for a racing car but a family car and I feel this is it.

      Areas of improvement  

       Hight adjustable seat and seat belt, power window switch back to driver side door pannel.

       

      Space, front look, AC, lite clutch, Stock lights, power adjustable ORVM and Boot spaceDoesn't give promised milage

      Exterior

      ok

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

      Very good space. even 3 people can sit in the rear very comfortably. Plastics are very very cheap and started breaking within 30 days of purchase.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

      Very poor. cannot believe it's engine horse power is 85 BHP. Pickup is very bad particulary with AC. Pickup is like a fully loaded lorry.  Gear shifting is not smooth. 5th Gear and Reverse gears are not working sometimes. you may have to try atleast twice.

      Fuel economy for my Sail UVA LS ABS Petrol model is around 12 kms in highway with AC.

      Ride Quality & Handling

      Ok in low speed.

      Final Words

      The only reason i purchased this vehicle is because of my old Opel Corsa. I thought this car will match atleast 50% to my Opel Corsa car with respect to the performance and ride quality. but unfortunately, that didn't happen.

      If you really like this car, before buying the vehicle, do the test drive atleast for 4 to 5 KMs in both low and high speed.Also check all the interior plastics properly before taking the delivery. i have noticed many mistakes(ex..one of the rear seat belt not working, real seat folding is giving issue) only after delivery..

      Areas of improvement  

      Interior Plastics, Pickup, Engine performance, Gear shifting and very particularly CUSTOMER SERVICE.

       

      Just SpaceigPerformance, Gear shifting, Ride quality in hh speed
