    DRIVING:

    2007

    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 Both the WR and Santro have a bad dashboard design that look outdated.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 Santro continue....Both the WR and Santro have a bad dashboard design that look outdated.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. 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.  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 car man.

     

    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 my dear man Due know after repairing at service center spark covered about 2500KM in and out city. Without any hiss!!! Even if you are driving in fifth gear and reduce the speed till 20 kmph, car doesn’t 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.

     

    If u want best category in small car then go for Chevrolet SPARK!!!

    Now I have covered almost 20,000 kilometers, after having 3rd service at sundaram motors Bangalore…car is running heavy smooth caliber and I felt this never before..it was so damn good…car Chevrolet spark still exuberant.

     

    I have interchanged 4 tyres myself  in cross sections as told by manufacture’s manual , carwale tyre care info and user from Team BHP ..not it have heavy  duty grip on Road!!!

     

    Very sensitive and accurate power steering drives and pure engine horse power makes me JOSH me more!!!!

     

    I have travelled following these places in my Chevrolet spark car

     

    Tumukur National Highway—Shiny days—super good road(via toll gate)

    Mahabalipuram—Madaras National Highway-Hot Summer—super good road(via toll gate)

    good economyno bad at all
