2005 Chevrolet Spark LS review from Indonesia
"Very bad performance car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is a strange noise coming out from the air-conditioning system.
There are unwanted noises from the machine when the speed of the car is increasing.
The speedometer shown 40Km even I had the gear switched to 4.
The car is jerky when the car's speed started to decrease, it's like someone has hit me from behind.
The air-conditioning system is too cold and too hot for no reasons.
General comments?
I bought this car because of its size and reliability to spin throughout town. Also because of the place that I lived has extremely narrow street and quite impossible to drive a big car passing through it.
But to my disappointment the car doesn't perform as it suppose to be and I have to waste my time driving it to the workshop (since it is STILL under warranty and only 3 weeks old).
The mechanic told me that I have to leave the car for half a day.
I hope that GM will CHECK the car before selling it to the public and for my last comment, I think next time I better get a second hand car if a new car has the same condition as the old one.
The only good point about spark is the interior is rather comfortable and very nice decoration and dashboard indeed.
