Worth a buy

I have decided to buy Spark 1.0 LT. I will be taking the delivery day after. The process of selecting a car in this segment was quite difficult. I considered WagonR, Zen Estilo, Santro Xing, Spark and Swift. Wagon R is a nice car technically, good mileage but the exterior is something that put me off. It looks like a box. It is actually true to its name WAGON. Yes it looks like a mini wagon. So I ruled this option out. Zen estilo is another car with good performance but this estilo is bad from an aesthetic point of view. I find the exterior of this car less pleasing. The previous model of zen was better. Not sure why Suzuki changed the exterior. So I ruled this car out as well. Swift has looks of a vintage car and definitely caught my attention. Has good space inside (3 can sit at the back comfortably), price is slightly higher as compared to other hatchbacks. But. the higher price is justified by the extra space and comfort that you get. The only thing put me off here is the mileage which is around 12kmpl. I was looking for 15 at least in city. Then came Santro Xing and I liked this car very much. The initial Santro had a very awkward back. I used to hate that look of Santro. However, hyundai has improved it considerably. The price is good. Performance is good too. I liked it as much as Spark. However, I decided that Spark is a better car. Spark matches Santro in performance, a little bit here and there is acceptable. Spark has good mileage (@15kmpl in city with AC). It has a very cute look from outside. The interior is also good. 40:60 split is also good idea and I am sure will be useful. People have cribbed about the speedometer in the middle but I think that is just a matter of getting used to it. Similar feedback for the placement of wiper and headlights. Spark uses tubeless tyres which makes it possible for the car to travel about 60 kms even after a puncture. Well this can be picked up by all the cars but i think its a good feature. Also spark comes with 3 year warranty which is unique in this segment. Even at low speeds and in 4th gear the vehicle doesn't knock.

The only hitch I had before purchasing Spark is its service network. I am located in the western part of India and their network in this region is good as their plant is also located in thsi region Plus they are increasing their service stations to 200 by this year end. This definitely witll give me more comfort. But as of now I have bought this car and I think I would suggest that this car is "Worth a Buy".

Interiors and exteriors as good as peers, good mileage (@15kmpl in city with AC), comparable priceService network?
