Well, Yesterday I went for 45000 kms service and my little sparky is still performing well. No problem at all. 3 yrs completed last month so warranty is over but car is still in great shape and performance is still great.
As far as maintenance is concern, still no high maintenance is required.
I am updating the review after driving spark for a long time. still I would say thumbs up to GM for a fantastic work. To break the Matiz image and making it better while keeping similar identity was not an easy job.
Comfort level is high and quality of plastics in the interior always bring a smile. though the aluminum finish on door pannals(inside) is a letdown, it peels off easily. with all the discounts pouring in it is still the best entry level car.
All you guys who wanna buy a car I would say go and drive your options yourself. Mileage, power and space is similar for all in the segment(near to each other). What ultimately matters is the driving and ownership experience. for me Spark scores above all with heavy margin.
it fits the budget with required specifications.
Wagon r drives really well but looses on looks.
estilo - mix feelings, drive:ok, looks: down
santro: needs a good makeup badly, I prsonally doubt life of engine
