Good Family car with in a good package. You can definitely feel the art of Chevrolet in that

Hi All,

Like everyone who is going to buy a car especially first car will do a lot of R&D regarding the same me too was not an exception. I had done a lot of search in team bhp, carwale and of course mouthshut.

Let me tell you some history regarding my experience and the reason the i zeroed in on spark.

My search for a gud car started almost 6 months back and my budget was initially 3.5L and i have almost finalised on Indica Vista last month good car,gud featuers nad really nice to drive .Then i went to chevy showrom Geeyem Motors and test drove chevy spark and U-VA .(by the time i increased by budget to 4-4.3L).

I am really surprised with the performance of spark really nice car and fun to drive. Before test driving spark i was thinking that its a erally small car with cramped interiors believ me guys its not short on space or power too.Far better than A-star in rear seat which was also in my list.Showrrom guys told spark will give 18Km/L .It have gas filled shocks which is not available in any car in this price tag .Good safety features(alloys,ABS& Airbag with option pack)

i idnt like u-va for its performance i hate the luks(personal opinion). My mind was fully towards indica vista but my bro who lives outside India want a car with safety features so Indica Vista Out of my choice .I had options like Wagon_R,Estilo,A-star & Spark of which i loved spark(only cars with ABS& Airbag in that price range)moreover chevy had woping 40K discount ,i have got more than 50K discount (chevy discount,exchange offer,dealer discount) and 3year/45000Km free maintenace.

My suggestion is who all are plannin got buy a car in 3-4L range please test drive spark and Indica Vista too (if want more space).

PROS
1)Fun to drive
2)Value for money
3)Have all safety features like ABS& Airbag(driver side only) with option pack
4)Free maintenacne for 3years/45000Km
5)Biege interiors

CONS
1)Spark is short of boot space but enough for 2-4 bags(not suitcase).

Present Scenario

I have booked Spark LT with oprion pack for RS.4.22L waiting for my delivery .I expect the car by 24th as the dealer dont have stock.

Will update you all when i get my car.

Please feel free to ask any queries regarding Spark

UPDATED ON 17/9/09
Hi All ,
Thanks for reading my review.
Got my spark LT OP blazing red with appolo acelere. I am very much happy and satisfied with the cars
performance.
SOME TOUGH TIME IN SHOWROOM AS I NEED TO WAIT TILL6.30PM FROM 11 AM TO GET MY CAR.
I went to showroom on 25th evening to took my delivery and they were ready for that after
that only i ordered for accesories .Bought sony xplod music system with 4 small
sperakers,seat covers,wood finish for dash & sun film, costed me Rs.22,500. I got floor mat
and steering grip as promised by my executive KIRAN and i sincerely thank KIRAN (Geeyem
Motors cochin)for delivering car in proper time. On that day evening i saw a small dent in
the back side (door) and KIRAN immediatly called the guys and replcaed the entire part.
On 26th i got the delivery on 6.30pm my father,mother and myself were present there.
Today 17/9/09 clocked 1300KMs in ODO.
Went to palani and car performed well ..got mileage around 16KMPL with 50% AC and i was very carfeul to
drive below 80KMPH and mostly on 60.
We were 5 people on the trip and felt power a little on lower side with AC on.
Braking is good with ABS.
Never felt tried during the entire trip and myself on driver seat for the entire 700KMs..
I request you all to please comment on the alloys i have got .DO i need to change those?
They are original equipment from chevrolet and the dealer insisted me not to replace that.
I had issue with my headlamp not focussing properly and they rectified the issue with a
great customer care. they want me to be there and directly heard the complaint from me
adjusted the headlamp and checked in my presence..Joby was the guy to whom i talked first
rearding the complaint,obvious after talking to kiran. He took me to the responsible guy for
those complaints (sorry,i forgot his name). So far I am very satisfied with the customer
care of GeeYem motors cochin.Later i came to know that Joby was the star of month August.I
am sure those selectors have a tough task in finding the star as all are superb i felt.
We have a Swift VXi and when i compare with i felt the car a little under powered and low on
space.But felt higher on riding comfort.
I had a very bad occasion when my flash of headlight stopped working and it got ok within
seconds.
Overall i am very much satisfied with the performance.
Please do comment
Thanks to all once again and i will update after the first checkup

Completed Reassurance Checkup two days back
Not much difference to notice after that they washed my car that the only difference i felt.

Went to Kanyakumari ..

trip was gud ...touched 100 mark several times and car was rock solid .
got mileage of around 16 with 10-20% AC .


On the way i went to triparapu and i felt the ground clearance and Shocks are very gud .

Never felt under powered on those bad roads.

Never felt tried and want to drive more and more that the pleasure I am getting everytime from this machine.

Free maintenacne for 3years/45000Km,VFM,Fun to driveless boot space
