Chevrolet Sail Petrol 1.2 Base

<p>Hi,</p> <p>I am a PhD student and during the final phase of my thesis (Oct-Dec,2014) was looking to buy my first car.</p> <p>Did an Extensive Research on various cars and their models. Gone through reviews of various cars at mouthshut.com, team-bhp etc. Was going to book Amaze but suddenly this car caught my attention.</p> <p>Got a very well-behaved Sales representative and till now I liked the behaviour of Chevy representatives at multiple showrooms that i have visited randomly &nbsp;in the Hyderabad City.</p> <p>As my budget was 6.5 lacs and would driving occasionally, I was bent on a petrol version. As i already own a Hyundai Santro at Home; At here( Hyderabad) was looking for a Sedan ( since compact sedans like Dzire., Xcent and Amaze are ruling the market :D)&nbsp;</p> <p>Did a sufficient amount of research on sail sedan and talked with the customers at service centres of different car models like Xcent, Amaze including premium Hatchbacks like Grand i10 &nbsp;and Brio ( these two was also somehow in my Consideration set).</p> <p>Finally, got the delivery of my car on 31st Dec, 2014 in the evening.</p> <p>Started Sailing from 1st Jan, 2015. I am very satisfied with my research on various models as it indeed helped me to best utilize my investment instead of falling in the category of Common Crowd and going for Dzire, Xcent or Amaze.</p> <p>I am not criticizing other brands or their models; but at the same time i really dnt find any solid reason why this car has been under-rated.</p> <p>I am getting fuel efficiency of around 15.8 Kmpl ( even before first service). Whats more I need from a Mid-size Sedan even before first service. Chevy should really promote this car (I guess that is what was missing really as &nbsp;i too, like many. were not much informed of this car).</p> <p>Engine: I really find the SMARTECH engine butter smooth without any vibration (till now). Next the throttle is linear and Clutch and Accerlation is very smooth in their delivery.</p> <p>Hence, I seriously appraise Maruti, Hyundai and Honda for their beauties : Dzire, Xcent and AMaze; but at the same time I have fallen for this wonderful Chevy SAil!!!</p> <p>Exterior Excellent car, not falls in the Compact Sedan Class, I would rather say an under-rated car......not much sales figure like Dzire, Amze and Xcent. and hence not so much seen on Indian Roads.I feel Chevy shoudl promote properly.&nbsp;</p> <p>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort) Supspension is one the best in its class and much better than Dzire, Xcent and Amaze.</p> <p>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Butter Smooth Engine; (I have test driven Amaze; xcent and Dzire and seriously I dnt find hardly any difference in engine smoothness compared to the most popular Kappa 2 VTVT Engine of marutis and Hyundai; and also with I-vtec of Honda.).They are definitely smooth; but SMARTECH is not less at the least &nbsp;in terms of response, drivalibility, throttle, engine sound and vibration. Its equally capable thats all I can say (at the least) if not better.</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling</strong> Chevy cars ( including Sail Sedan) are best known for fine-tuned suspension. Its really one of the best and well-balanced suspensions among its class of cars.</p> <p><strong>Final Words</strong>&nbsp;I have fallen in love with this brand ( which was least aware of</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement</strong>&nbsp;The only areas of improvement that I strongly feel Chevy should look into (for all its cars): interior plastic quality and fit and finish!</p>Best suspension and ride quality, Good fuel economy, Excellent service by Chevy RepresentativesInterior Plastic Quality Could have been better!!!
