Chevy manual has a short para on running in. It just says take lightly and don't race till first few hundred kilometers. Don't break hard unless emergency etc. I think that is what we all do for entirely diffierent reason. We are getting used to the new car. It takes some time to get used to clutch, break, steeting, seating position and even mirrors. After first few days I started driving with 70-80km/hr speed. But avoided sudden changes like 5th to 3rd suddenly for taking over another vehicle. I did same thing with my last car, ALto. Now after nearly 6 years and 95000 KM there are no problems with the engine. | |

But I did compare after buying with my friend's Santro who booked for new car at the same time. I think Spark is much better in handling, it is more quiet. Santro has better gear shift than Spark. It is believed that hyundai A.S.S. should be better than GM. I am also having feeling that spark pick-up is better than Wagon-R and Santro. But the specs says it should not. | |

 COmpletely agree there Radek.. love driving it. Now at my hometown and driving the Xeta and wishing every moment it was Sparky considering the relative lack of traffic here.. @ Sam - Radek has pretty much summed up what I went through too.. I also checked out a friends Santro and he too checked out mine.. in fact he drove part of the way to Shivasamudram. I drove his car for a short distance inside the city. His observations abt Spark- Smooth gear shift (I really dont know but he feels this though ACI says otherwise). Clutch pedal seems recessed. Driveability is better (this was on the highway). A/C is damn good but loud (I attribute this to the quiet engine  ).Mine about his Santro - Lack of response in higher revs. I find Spark smoother in operation. Thats all as it was a short drive. Well Santros are dime a dozen and there have been quite a few posts about reliability issues on this forum itself which kinda ties in with what I have learnt about Korean companies hence I did not really consider a Santro. And yes I also feel the pick up in Spark is better than most other cars in this segment though the specs say otherwise.. Anything else feel free.. @ Radek - ICE ICE..well am waiting for you... will keep you posted.. me and EMD are breaking our heads on this.. you sure welcome anytime you are in Bangy.. Nimz | |
