Car and bike questions? We have the answers

I am planning to buy a small hatchback to drive in the city. My budget is Rs. 4 lakh. I want to go in for Chevrolet Spark LT model. What is your opinion? I want to know about GM’s service, quality and brand value. Also, tell me about the car’s resale value and durability. Is GM offering discounts owing to poor sales.
Vishal Khetwani
The Spark is a good car and you don’t have to worry about it being a Daewoo. This model is proven world over. It is a well-built car and offers a good amount of space for its size. The engine is peppy enough for the city, but you may feel the need for more power on the highway. Overall, the Spark is one of the better packages around. So if you like the car, go for it. The GM is offering the car at a discounted rate. Check it with the dealers as the discounts vary from place to place. Resale value is decent but not as good as other small cars.
I am planning to buy a new car that costs between Rs 7 and 9 lakh (on-road Raipur). How about Ford Fiesta or Renault Logan. My requirements are good looks, fuel economy of above 30kpl as well as low maintenance costs and a diesel engine. Suggest a suitable car.
Sourav Kumar Joshi
The new Fiesta will give you the combination of attractive styling and fuel economy that you’re looking for. Unfortunately, it will be difficult to get 30kpl from any car in the market. But if you drive with your air-conditioner off, maintaining a steady speed on the highway, you could come close. In normal driving though, you would get between 14-22kpl depending on driving conditions and style.
