Pros

Spark is a good car , considering the 1000cc engine and the good mileage it offers. I have been using this car (LS version with power steering and front power windows) for more than 3 years and 30, 500 kms.
Its very much reliable and the driving comfort is more than expected. Its mileage and pricing is far better compared to Santro, Wagon R, Indica etc. The fact is Chevy spark is less hyped in TV Ads or commercials but it performs better on roads ;-).
It costed approximately 3.5 lakhs, including tax, on road, with all the original chevy seat cover , central locking etc.. I have always got mileage around 16.5 kmpl with AC and for city rides. The vehicle was reliable and performed smoothly through all those bad roads, village roads, high way and rough terrains.
The luggage space is also good. Now the base model start price is approx 2.8 lakhs. I have done 6 routine services so far and it didnt cost much. I have driven the car for 150 kms on a strech from work place to my native place (on week ends for several months ) and it was comfortable.
On high ways, its pretty comfortable drive upto 80 - 90 kmph speed. Small turning radius and easy to park , can drive throgh narrow roads also.
Cons

There was rattling sound which was corrected after a service. Indicator and wiper controls are on alternate sides from ordinary cars, but we'll get used to it.
Got ac complaint and leakage after 2 years and had it corrected from service center. Got less service centers/ dealers in kerala. 1 in every major district or so .. bad compared to maruti service network.
