Value for money car

AC is insufficient. Not comfortable for the rear seat passengers.

Good interiors with excellent seating positions. Compact and superb for city traffic. Stable even at higher speed above 100 kms/hr. Spacious interiors.

2007 Chevrolet Spark LT 1.0 petrol

Summary:

Not suitable if you don't have a chauffeur to get it fixed every fortnight

Faults:

1. AC is simply useless. 2 tweaks by GM workshop, and it still refuses to cool the car.

2. Dashboard makes weird noises while accelerating.

3. On complaining, Dealer/Company give you a snob look, asking why you were cheap and bought their cheapest car.

4. Maintenance costs comparable with cars costing 3 times as much.

General Comments:

An OK car with good looks, but frequent problems ensure that a fortnight never passes when you don't have to worry about getting something fixed in a Spark.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I am from Indonesia, Jakarta, and my yellow 2006 Chevy Spark has been around for at least 2 years.

To be honest, the Spark is too minimalist for me, but it works fine for my wife.

Anyway, I never found anything similar to your complaint, the air-con works okay for 2 years in a row. Yup, some noises did came from the front dash, and all I did is put something in the gap where the rattling noise came from. Well admit it, it is not a lavish car such as Aston Martin or McLaren.

And the way GM people welcome us is quite warm and friendly. They understand that they are dealing with economy car, not a cheap car.

Well, we come to no conclusion, it is a mere different perspective on the very same object I suppose.

Regards.
