price of the basic model

Hi,
can any one tell what’s the price of the basic model, I remember something seeing around 3lakhs in the paper is it right ?
Please let me know..

Grand Vitara will hit the Indian roads soon

Grand Vitara will hit the Indian roads soon. A cross between CRV and SUV it will serve both the on-road and off-road driving enthusiasts. The best part about this car+SUV is that it is priced between 14-18 lakhs, a price that is much less than its unreasonably priced competitors.

Spark is priced in between 3.09 to 3.89

Spark is priced in between 3.09 to 3.89 according to company. Some extra charges for different states.
Now, 1st of all why shall we talk about Matiz? The fact is its gone and is never comming back so get over it naggers.
Comparing Swift with Spark would never be justified. Swift is 1 step ahead of Santro, Wagon R ect ect.. Spark vs Santro vs Wagon R is unanimous.
When i drove this beauty, i simply couldnt believe i was driving a small car. The most beautiful suspension system you can ever get in small car. Engine has power and it shows it. Seats are much much more comfortable than Santro or Wagon R. Interiors and simply good, no cheap plastics. And in the end when you step out and give a tangy look to this cupid, you can not stop winking. Its Beautiful. ( And no Matiz please).
So overall, if for an extra buck you get something which is much better in this class, why not to go for it. I simply loved this car, and looking forward to buy it. Of course the top end model 1.0 LT. Weak point is GMs bad service policies and worst service stations.
In the end some star ratings as usual….
From a person who has owned Maruti 800 to Maruti Esteem to Tata Safari
Alto - Cheap and best… Since Maruti its always the best buy.
Wagon R - Wagon hai na car hai yeh to wagon r hai. For me it sucks..
Swift - Sales figure says its always a good buy. Diesel one…
Santro - Cheap and very cheap. The days are gone. Its not the only good old small car in market. There are much better variant. Even Wagon R would be a much much better option than this old rag.
Getz - Havnt drove one, but think its a good car.
Accent - If you can go to C segment this is the best entry level.
Spark - For me this is the best in B segment. Simply uncomparable.
Other Chevy cars, havnt driven any.
Swift would be better than U-VA too.
Hope it helps to justify……..

Comparing Spark with Swift is not a fair job

I am very happy to be able to join this discussion.
Comparing Spark with Swift is not a fair job. It can be compared with Santro, WagonR and Zen estilo
Today just before an hr, I took the test drive of Spark.
I was really excited to see the adds and I am already a customer of GM (Optra). I also have used old Matiz for about three moths and also used Santro and Wagon R extensively.
First of all let me say that the product is not well positioned in the market. From the look and feel it is a small car can even be compared with even Alto.
The starting on road price at Kochi of basic model is 3.95 is too high. The top model priced with an additional 50-60K is not attractive as well.
From test ride:
The engine is smooth and responsive 63 bhp for 840 kg weighted vehicle is good enough even when loaded with 4-5 people.
The throttle response is linear which is not available even for my Optra(1.6).
Suspensions are good but because of light weight, the ride is to that stable with two passengers especially when compared with old Matiz.
Dimensionally Spark may be equivalent to Matiz, but it does not appear to be spacious as Matiz.I doubt this is because of the seating position.
Air conditioning is is not good enough especially during sunny days. On the other hand it is excellent for the old matiz and WagonR. Seating position is much better for Wagon R too.
Handling is good but I feel the size of steering wheel is a bit high for the vehicle size. Interior and plastics etc are not in par with old Matiz(I think it is still the best in the class.)Anyway it is better than Wagon R and Santro.
Breaking is excellent .External appearance I am really sorry, It is not anywhere near the old Matiz but better than the contemporary rivals.
My over all opinion is that the GM must have to reduce the price of all variants about 50K to make it a choice of B segment buyers.

spark has a good look

the spark has a good look presently one can say its the most beautiful small car in the market but the onroad price is too much for the GM repo in indian market .is ther any gaurantee that it is going to perform like the matiz, and of course u cant compare it to the swift frm any angle
Spark should only be compared to the alto, zen,wagon r,indica,palio,santro
lets wait n see the sparks for 6 months
