Before buying SPARK I had to face such comments, Why don’t you put some extra money about 60-75k and take solid car?, We take car once in life so take best one, there are no SPARK on road then why are u buying it?, there is no resale value for this, you will not find expert when your car face problem in long journey)
Very first I would like to thank all review writers of SPARK for writing their true experiences here at mouthshut.com. I had serious restriction of budget for buying new car. And I feel proud to be an Indian, since so many companies are making products at competitive prices by considering Indian requirements.
It’s always been difficult to go against flow. Typically where in India Maruti, TATA, and Hyundai are favourite and trusted companies. All my friends, family members were against me or either neutral while buying SPARK. But when I saw SPARK internally, I started comparing with higher priced with similar segment cars. I feel like I am getting best deal for this nicely designed car without too much stretching on my wallet. Space inside SPARK is little more than Alto and little less that Wagno R and i10. But difference in price as well as 3 yrs free service me getting is also equally noticeable. So I have booked my SPARK on 12th Aug.2010.
Comparison:
Alto K10: Although it is best for mileage with new 1000cc K10 engine I rejected it for less space inside.
New WagnoR: New version is nice but it’s too spacious to drive in city. Also old WagnoR are common everywhere.
I 10: Similar interior and equally (might be better) noiseless engine I am getting in SPARK with less price. I am not comparing Santro here since its too old model to compare here. I personally believe that Hyundai has produced i10 as a replacement for its own existing model.
Although I am not experienced in driving, I assume that engine performance/ driving pleasure/ ease and mileage would be equally good (or better than) as other competitors. This car is best for 4 adults for long drive. Fifth person could fit inside if he/ she is not so fat. Since I am new buyer do not have experience with dealer workshop I cannot predict regarding same.
I have updated my review in Chevrolet Spark section.
