I bought a Chevrolet Spark on 3rd December, and today, it completed 6 painful months with me. I have following problems with the car:
1. AC of spark gives frequent problems. Comfortable inside and silent
cabin features of Spark get nullified as one has to drive with windows
rolled down during midday, when the AC is as good as non existent.
2. Service/Spare part prices are exorbitant when compared to
Maruti/Hyundai vehicles of similar price range. Irrespective of what is
shown on website, anything not mentioned there costs a fortune. For
example, pair of fog lamps with fitting costs Rs. 4500. AC Condenser
costs 6000. A simple wheel alignment and balancing job will set you off
by 1000 rupees. I found out all this after a very minor accident, a nudge with car ahead at speed of about 10 kmph.
3. I've driven the car for just 7200 km, but have already visited workshop
5 times for various problems in 6 months. GM believes in selling and
forgetting. After sales is practically non existent, and the company is
slow to do any repairs under warranty. So you will be expected to leave
car with them for days for any minor repair.
4. Spark inherits the poor anti rusting protection from Matiz. Exhaust
pipe has already started rusting in my 6 month old car, and I've
observed rust in sharp under body parts. It is only a matter of time
that the body paint will start bubbling.
5. I pressed GM workshop (Regent Automobiles, Mathura Road) to fix various
glitches (headlight bulb fusing, AC not working, central clock getting
reset frequently), but was politely reminded that I was expecting too
much from their lowest end car.
6. Dashboard is making weird noises when accelerating for last 15 days. And any such stuff is exclusively mentioned not to be covered by warranty. So have no choice but to bear these noises.
I've spent 4
Lakhs of my hard earned cash on Spark LT model, and there are simply no
buyers at even 3 lakhs, just 6 months after the purchase.
