Chevrolet Spark (2010 - 2015) 1.2i LT 5d (2011/60) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

This car says that I like cheap ecconomical motoring but at the same time like a car that looks modern and funky and turns a few heads.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They love it, they think the ride is smooth, the car is comfortable and they like the modern look of the vehicle.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes would buy the same again and add on all the "extras" to make it slightly different than the basic model.

What are you likely to buy next?

Chevrolet Spark as long as they continue to make them look as modern and as sylish as my present car.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£7,999

When did you buy the car?

January 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

Average deal from the Franchise dealer, however with the "additional bits" the deal was about average.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I heard from various people who own this vehicle that it would be "right up my street" as I was looking to change my car. Pakers review were positive and the car I bought was an ex demo model and the price was right.

What was the dealer like?

I wouldn't go back to that particular dealer as the Customer Service was near to Nil! No handbook provided at date of collection...this is on route.

What's it like to drive?

Drives like a dream for a 1.2. I have just parted with a 1.3 Suzuki Ignis and compared to the Ignis this Chevrolet Spark is lighter,and more responsive.

What's it like to park?

A real ladies parking type of car.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing gone wrong yet, early days.

What's most practical about your car?

It running costs - excellent on petrol, very nippy around town and excellent for parking (mine has parking sensors. My mother is disabled and she can get into the front seat no problem, plenty of leg room for her and the walking stick, with still enough room in the back for passengers. Boot is bigger than most small cars in this class, ideal for shopping for one/two people.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Parking sensors! Side door protectors (an extra)to stop thoses supermarket trolleys making marks on the doors. The metalic light silver paint. The "blue" bits of interior are modern and funky.
