Ok Guys time for an update, after driving 300Km till now, following is my small update.
1. Ride comfort : that is the best part and most thought by Chevi people, dispite of having 1000 cc 8 valve engine, its superiority is unmatched making it at par with i10 engine. Smooth and refined ride quality and engine sound.
2. Space : No way its lesser than i10 froma big margin. Only front has a bit more space than Spark, at the back both are same, where Spark scores more coz of the complete foldable seat.
3. Looks : mmmm subjective I would say, some say i10 is far better and some say Spark is the cutest looking ginnie. I am with i10 in this segment
4. Fearures : Spark has EVERY feature i10 Sports has infact couple of few nifty more like a) the provision of keeping sunglasses with a nice auto foldable cover at the top of the driver window. b) Hooks at the seat nect to hang bags, hooks at the top of the rear window for hanging coat etc. c) Provision for holding visiting cards at the bottom of the steering...... etc. i10 scores on two point over Spark........ Tilt steering, Boot light and MP3 player which BTW SUCKS specially while playing FM, you cannot change the unit as its integrated. Speakers can be changed maybe I am not sure but that would not much make a difference. Tilt Steering is the only aspect I found bettre in i10 AFA features are concerned, apart from this, you name one and Spark has.
5. Interior Design : Now that is where i10 scores most.....mind you I am talking about Design, not quality. Quality wise though i10 is ahead but not by that margin, Spark Dash board, glove box texture quality is at par, only the Steering, Gear knob could have been better. On the other hand i10's design is worth a plause, dashboard looks quality, and the gear knob placement is superb with far more smooth Gear shift tham Spark. Apart form this quality of seat, roof mat, seat belt, hand brake is ar par with i10.
Extras : a)i10....No company warentee, you have to buy one. With Spark you get 3 years/50K full coverage warentee and believe it or not, this does make difference as you never know what part dispite of being new gives away at what juncture, at that time it really pinches when you have to shell out a respectable amount just for a small thing. Plus I was able to trace couple of people who has spark and got some problem within one month of purchase (like for one headlight bulb went out, second one has some problem in the Disc Break) Both of them comfirmed that the complete unit was replaced with in hours of taking the car to the show room. So that has given me quite a bit of confidence. b) Remote Lock and Gear Lock, which was not offered by the i10 Dealer.
Over all, I think we can declare Spark the clear winner keeping the aspect the price I got it for 3.60 with 3 year warentee and Goodies. Where as i10 I was getting at 4.25 after all discounts with not goodies except mat and weelcovers with is basic and every card dealer gives.
Well here is my final review.........also guys Now I am looking for some good car accessories, even a good quality roof mount LCD, which can be enjoyed after lowering the back seats and putting a mattre, it really gives ample space at the back, also looking for parking sensors and stuff like that. People here need some suggestions ......
Plus Any idea where in NCR should I be targetting for some professional car work......good dealer with quality work.....
