Hi All, I am posting this review for the car which I have been owning for the past 5 years.My experience with starts from me hunting for a car for my family. We had a test drive all the possible cars which fit our requirements and needs.with all the cars chevy ticked all the boxes I was looking for. Let's start with the details of each and every section : Dimension: The car qualifies for a small hatchback and the dimension are near about the same as other small hatchbacks. The car looks small from the outside and has a small footprint. This gives us a very small car feel and also a short turning radius. The car offers decent space in the inside and has a tallboy seating position.you can comfortably seat 2 at the rear and 3 by a bit of squeeze at the front it was the only car to comfortably accommodate my 6-foot frame. The instrument cluster is basic but handy with no feeling of being an aftermarket fitment. It is the car which has nearly 55% of steel for added rigidity. Engine: The engine is a 1000 cc generating 65 bhp and 91 nm of torque overall.this is a spirited engine thanks to the system which supplies more torque when needed and hence you can even crawl the car at lower gears and it also helps in brisk acceleration. The gearbox is smooth but has a rubbery feeling to it. It has short gearing for the first two gears and is very helpful in dense traffic situations. Drive: The car has a great lower end hence sprinting to 80 km/h is a breeze post that the car takes its own sweet time to build speed and has a weak top end. The only let down to the car are the tires and brake as they do not provide the bite needed. The tires do not provide any grip and also have a lot of noise. It is better to replace the tires at the earliest. Hydraulic steering provides great response and feels good to handle. Mileage: The car provides me an average of 12 in city and 16 on highway.less as compared to other small hatches but It is a good compromise for the pick-up and speeds the car offers. Maintenance is on the lower side with 2500 RS as a normal cost of maintenance for a year. The car is also compatible with CNG kit and offers a decent performance with CNG. It also comes with company fitted CNG Kit. Overall it is a great experience to own a chevy as compared to other cars.Read More

Buying a small car in India sounds like an easy task, with numerous offerings at competitive price points, but at least in our case, it wasn't. Our main concern was to find a car which could easily fit in our main gate, which is a couple inches more than five feet. Added to our woes, the narrowed down options didn't have capable engines, as all alternatives boasted of 800cc mills only. And then, we zeroed upon Chevrolet Spark. Initially, I was not too keen, because Spark has been in the Indian market from quite a long time, but has never made its presence felt, so far as competition was, or is concerned. But all perceptions really changed. To begin with, Spark has a cute and peppy design, with a changed front face, now sporting typical Chevrolet fascia, i.e. honeycomb grille split by the body-colored bar, and top spec LT model also sports new fog lamp housing, similar to that of Swift. This change added character to the front. The side profile and rear are more or less similar to older versions. The rear bumper now has black plastic finish at the center, which I assume was done to keep the paint intact in case of a rear impact, as rear ends of hatches, being low slung are more prone to scratches owing to the vehicles following you. Back also sports of a spoiler on top of the glass in top spec LT model. LT model also gets roof rails, to increase the peppy appeal. On the inside, Spark sports of a decent interior, the seats, and dash now coming in the beige shade, probably to make the cabin look bigger. The speedometer is placed in the center of the dashboard, containing a dial speedometer, and digital odometer, trip meter, and tachometer. I must add here, that if you are too keen on checking RPM for a gear change, the tachometer of Spark needs some practice t look at. Also, Digital Engine temperature gauge and Digital fuel gauge were present, along with usual warning signs and indicators. Spark has very smartly integrated everything neatly in a rather small instrument pod. One thing which I didn't like was the steering wheel. It is a two spoke unit, in which both the spokes look like the diameter of the steering. Too bland for a peppy looking car. Also, like German and American cars, the control arm for headlamp and indicator is on left, whereas that of the wiper is on the right. One might need some practice here as well if switching from Maruti and Hyundais. The central console also had rotary A/C vents, coupled with old school dials for controlling, along with a proportionate looking music player. Speakers do a decent job as well. It's just that you are reminded every single time that they are just doing their job, whenever you wish to push limits of the music player. Top model (LT) also comes with power windows for all windows, rear defogger, ORVM on both doors, that can be manually adjusted from inside the cabin. What I liked the most was that Spark has too many cubby holes in the center console, that one can fit odds and ends. The glove box is a bit small and could have been made bigger by eliminating the tray that sits below it. Front doors also have pockets on both driver and passenger side, that can easily carry 500ml bottle. In front of gear, are two glass holders, serving their purpose well, but are a bit out of reach. One thing that amazed me though, was the cushioning of the seat and leg space. Usually, cars of this category have back seats with much less cushioning that one can presume sitting on a bench. But Spark has proportionate front and back seats to support back and thighs. Leg space at the rear is also decent, as one can sit without scraping his knees unless the person is above six feet. Also, three people can easily sit for short distances, with a little bit of shoulder scraping. What amazed me is the performance, owing to the four cylinders, 995cc motor sitting under the hood. It is quick to launch, it is nimble on its feet, and because of its compact dimensions, it is very agile, so far as day-to-day commuting is concerned. It can zoom its way past the traffic easily, it can take superb U-turns, and can easily beat the competition in straight line acceleration. The motor, in fact, amazed me when I took it to Nainital. Never, for once, the engine felt under-powered while climbing the hills, and I never felt the urge to shift it to first gear to gain momentum. It easily climbed on in second and third gear, hitting corners and coming out like a pro. It also never is out of power, even with AC on. Sailing it on highways is as much fun, as while commuting in traffic. It's a shame that Chevrolet guys are not focusing on it because a major facelift done to Spark can put them back in business. The Spark, in short, is hot to handle the peppy machine, which can put the more expensive hatches to shame on occasions; a decent small car to own.Read More
