I am updating the review after driving spark for an year now. 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.
I have driven it at 135kmph several times and the way feels, no other 1lt engine can do that. Comfort level is high and quality of plastics in the interior always bring a smile. though the aluminum finish on door panels ( inside) is a letdown, it peels off easily. with all the discounts pouring in it is still the best entry level car.
To all you guys who wanna buy a car I wud say go and drive ur 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.
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
