It has been 2 months that I got my new UVA- LT. Overall the experience has been strictly OK. There are a lot of creases that Chevrolet need to iron to make this a good car.

 

The first response that you get is that it's a very good looking car, probably the best in this segment. The car is really very spacious with good leg room. I drive with my seat pulled behind and yet have enough space for anyone sitting behind. The car handles well with substantial power and good maneuverability with no problem in Stop-Start traffic of Mumbai. It is very stable even in high speed and there is hardly any noise inside. Brakes, Shock Absorbers etc are very good giving an over all pleasant drive

 

But the good things just end here. The fuel efficiency of the vehicle remains a major problem. Though I have driven it only for about 1700 KM and its a bit too early to give verdict yet it seems that it will settle to an average of 10 KM/ Lit (with A/C) in city and around 13 on the highway. There is marked difference in performance when AC is powered on. Gear shift though is smooth yet there is problem with 1st gear, specially after I put the car in gear after standing in the traffic signal. There is no button/ switch for central locking on the drivers side and one has to manually pull the lever on drivers seat to open the door lock for any other door. One big surprise was that the glass on the rear window doesn't roll down completely. Interiors could have been a bit better as well.

Hope that after 2nd service I get better results form the car. Will update here after 2nd service

    Your observation on 1st gear not shifting properly is right, I have the same problem.

    Should I go for the 1.2 Base and add on the power windows and the central locking (Total 15000 extra). The 1.2LS costs 50000 more and I wonder if it is worth it - I'm on a tight budget
