Mileage of Chevrolet Spark

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.

To begin with, let me make it clear that I am not a Doctor but I have maintained and driven my car with care. 12th August 2009 was the happy day for me when the first car of my entire family lineage was delivered. The Maruti Alto was our original pick (due to its ultra-low-cost) but one look at its interior color and space made us think otherwise. Being 6-feet tall meant that anyone sitting behind me as the driver would have a crunch of time. Chevrolet was the showroom a couple of miles away, so we decided to go there and BAMM!! the beige interior just clicked. Although it was about INR 60K more than our budget, we just went for it. We had a wonderful experience with the Chevy team and felt at home (in the showroom). The car came, in all its white glory being the apple of my eye and the envy of my neighbors. Back then, there were not many flashy cars on the roads. All of us in the family were pretty inexperienced when it came to owning a car, so things like mileage, road noise, seat comfort, etc. were all over-looked. As I grew up with the car, I started to notice how much more comfortable the ride was when compared to the WagonR (owned by a friend). Although the interior space couldn't rival the tall-boy, the interior quality sure did. It felt like a step-up when it came to the interiors and by some means the exterior as well (I was always a fan of those candy-like red tail lights). Ahh but then the warranty ended and boy did it take a turn for the worst. The marketing gimmick was a three-year, no service charge warranty? which they did deliver. What they failed to mention was that the dividends you earned during those three years were going to leave your pockets at warp speeds. It started with the AC. The AC unit in my Spark was so bad that I got it fixed 3 times before just giving up and getting the whole thing swapped for a new unit. It cost a bomb! The power window system is pretty bad as well. Thankfully I had manual rear windows which I now feel proud of. (FYI: The driver side power window failed and I haven't repaired it in over a year.) That's how frustrated I am with its electrical system. The one thing that hasn?t let me down is the engine performance. It is strong and linear although it is a puny 1 liter. It's not as noisy as the other 1 liter units I've driven and has never given me any issue whatsoever. The ride quality is still plush, comparable to some of today's similarly priced rivals. Its been seven years running and being driven around for about 15K Kms, I fell I have under-used my car (part of it being a very competitive on-road parking). But as much as I have used it, I feel it was fine-old fella. The joy of your first car can never be replicated or repeated (unless your second or the tenth car is a Lambo) but then I feel I'm ready to depart from my friend. I guess it makes sense to stick to industry norms and go with the best selling brands in the business. After all, there is a reason why Maruti is no.1. The after-sales service was not up to my expectations and nor was my car.

1. Very good car and it has good pick up. 2. It has decent mileage in city roads with switching on A.C and very good mileage on the highways. 3. It has a smooth engine which does not allow sound inside the car. 4. It has more cabin space to seat comfortably. 5. Very good suspension and during high speed it has very good balance. 6. Turning radius is good to take U-turn. 7. Well, who isn't excited at the beginning, everyone is. But, let me tell you, things went well after that too, actually pretty well. Nope, I am not exaggerating, there's no need to. I know Chevy doesn't sell gazillion copies of it each month but my long search-n-research for car purchase did pay off. Having driven near 20000 kilometre, I now can say that this commuter is worth it. I am not the one wanting any bragging rights for owning resale champs. Actually, there is no meaning in celebrating for something after it has left you. The fact is, it should make you happier and you should cherish it for that. My adoration for his engine refinement and wonderful suspension would literally outlive him! I have enjoyed those traits time and again.  

We always love when the underdog overcomes all the hurdles and reaches the finish line. In fact, we lift the gleaming trophy with them, in our minds! Such was my feeling when my "Sparkie" arrived at our home after winning the hearts of everyone in my family. My wife bowled over by the higher stance & plush ride (for its price), mom knocked off by the roomy cabin & practicality and finally, the 'not-so-forgiving' dad praising his simple-n-neat interiors. Needless to say, I was the first wicket to go...ha ha. Heck, even my friends who looked down at first started realizing the value-for-money soon after.....the compact yet city friendly nature, 1-liter engine, decent mileage, and the space factor. All those add-ons (read music system, 4-door power windows, leather seat cover, and remote keys) were great fits. Well, who isn't excited at the beginning...everyone is. But, let me tell you, things went well after that too...actually pretty well. Nope, I am not exaggerating...there's no need to. I know Chevy doesn't sell a gazillion copies of it each month but my long search-n-research for car purchase did pay off. Having driven nearly 20,000 kilometers, I now can say that this commuter is worth it... FOR ME; I am not the one wanting any bragging rights for owning resale champs. Actually, there is no meaning in celebrating something after it has left you. The fact is, it should make you happier and you should cherish it for that. My adoration for his engine refinement and wonderful suspension would literally outlive him! I have enjoyed those traits time and again. Now, not even the most upbeat films end without a villain. Here, there are a few. In their alphabetic order; after sales service, cabin cooling. mediocre at best, FE not in the teens I am waiting to see the coming of age, safety options ? not even optional, seating is for four unless you have a 5-member family who is all fan of skinny jeans (I will nominate you for Academy if you have). Not always can you shell these villains and bubble them in the air. At times, you just have to walk away, take a side step and move on in life. Being proactive, practical, calm (?those racing nerves), and driving safely can keep you away from them...far away. I have been able to and that's what keeps this ride a pleasant one. Not that the thought of villains won't pop up again but I have moved on and remind myself of the good things Sparkie has to offer. I am lying if I said I did not look over him these days. There are some shiny new guys on the road, now and then. And those guys also get the nicest makeover year over year. But he is nowhere near that the sad part is, he may not be given any more makeovers. That won't stop me from riding with him. At the end of the day, when I pull up the windows, turn on the music and unwind, I do it with ease; for, he soaks all the bumps on my way and makes room for a quiet ride home.

The comfortable car which I ever had the Chevrolet car looks very NICE. this car is small in view, but it is much faster. Silver Chevrolet car is a very attractive look. Chevrolet car very luxurious car, The car attracts everyone. The car mileage is also Dik. Even viewing the car is Chevrolet car looks very NICE. this car is small in view, but it is much faster. Brake feel comfortable even in the car is my little place, it does not need to be replaced for more. The vehicle weight places on Rush withdraws I'm bigger than the rest. The car is very good and very beautiful, is not very comfortable to sit. The tire is so good that drinking outdoors.

Pros: Spacious room for legs on the front seat. Excellent performance on Petrol variant. Flexible external body (reduces chances of denting). Easy to use controls. Cons: The mileage could be better. Leg space for the rear seat should be improved.  

We bought this cute yet classy hatchback way back in 2012. After 4 years of rigorous usage, I feel that other variants (from other makers) in the same price range would have fared much better in terms of maintenance, conditioning and mileage. I would not recommend others to buy this car as it made me suffer a lot just after 1 year of driving on the worn out roads in Kolkata (India). The accelerator now seems completely dead even after pressing the full throttle. Having said all this negative stuffs, it is my first car which will always find its space in my deepest corner of the heart. I'll never ever forget how Chevy Spark ignited the desire to learn something that will remain with me as long as I'm alive, that's driving. 

I called this as parking saviour, as I had a very little space to park in my colony and this car fulfilled my problems. It is best for traffic roads, narrow colony roads and 1 +3 family. Mileage is average but better than Santro, any time or any driving condition. It is like old wine in a new bottle, remember the AC quality of Matiz, it is, in fact, better than that. In this price tag, I could not expect better. Interiors are very simple and sophisticated, my son would like it more as it is small in size and he called this as his Car. Red colour especially looks nice. I have been driving this car for 3 years and could not found any issue so far, even I drive too long routes and my daily driving is almost 60 KM. There's plenty of space in the cabin, but the boot could be little bigger it's only 170 litres, meaning others in the class are more practical. The design and build quality in the cabin don't do anything outstanding, but the single speed 'pod' in front of the steering wheel is at least unique. If only the Spark came a bit better. We're not expecting leather and sat nav at these sort of prices, but the most basic trim level makes do with wind-up windows and no central locking. You'll need to stretch to the + trim to get hold of those as standard. Suspension looks good in case of broken roads, you can drive up to 80 km. Will get good driving control. As usual GM cars are known for built and their engine quality, that stands true.
