Chevrolet
- Spark
Design Life Is 3 Years
Chevrolet Spark is a good car, but only if you want to keep it for less than 3 years. It is comfortable, good looking, and has a silent cabin. But all this comes at a steep price.
Service/Spare part prices are exorbitant when compared to Maruti/Hyundai vehicles of similar price range. Irrespective of what is shown on website, anything not mentioned there costs a fortune. For example, pair of fog lamps with fitting costs Rs. 4500. AC Condenser costs 6000. A simple wheel alignment and balancing job will set you off by 1000 rupees.
I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ve driven the car for just 6500 km, but have already visited workshop 5 times for various problems in 5 months. GM believes in selling and forgetting. After sales is practically non existent, and the company is slow to do any repairs under warranty. So you will be expected to leave car with them for days for any minor repair.
Spark inherits the poor anti rusting protection from Matiz. Exhaust pipe has already started rusting in my 5 month old car, and I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ve observed rust in sharp under body parts. It is only a matter of time that the body paint will start bubbling.
AC of spark gives frequent problems. Comfortable inside and silent cabin features of Spark get nullified as one has to drive with windows rolled down during midday, when the AC is as good as non existent.
I pressed GM workshop (Regent Automobiles, Mathura Road) to fix various glitches (headlight bulb fusing, AC not working, central clock getting reset frequently), but was politely reminded that I was expecting too much from their lowest end car.
Before buying this car, please give me a mail, and I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ll explain my horrible experience in detail to anyone willing to hear. I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ve spent 4 Lakhs of my hard earned cash on Spark LT model, and there are simply no buyers at even 3 lakhs, just 5 months after the purchase.
