yung Spark mashado naman bare, kahit CD Player wala for the 490K asking price....

and to think the Chevy badge isnt that appealing, i wonder where they get the idea of charging a premium for it.

It has no CD player, but its interesting that it comes standard with Five 3-point seatbelts, of course like the Picanto its really more of a 4-seater.
Like the Picanto LX Deluxe, the Spark 1.0 has standard front power windows, tachometer and rear defogger...

I inquired about the stereo with CD player, they said it can be ordered, same JVC unit found in the Aveo.

Spark 1.0

Top speed 156 km/h
Acceleration 0-100 km/h 14.1 sec

Picanto 1.1
Max Power 64PS
Top speed 152 km/h

sa liit ng spark malamang ko mga pulis na yan mga karatista lang at hindi bodybuilder

pero badtrip nga yan wala CD player! cd player lang pinagkakait pa nila eh ang mura-mura na ngaun as in standard na sa lahat. tingin ko nga mas mahal na tape ngaun kasi nde na mass production.

teka may stereo ba yan?

diba Daewoo ang pinakamahal ang pyesa sa lahat ng mga koreans like Kia & Hyundai?

kung mataas parin ang presyo ng pyesa nila, wala talagang sense bumili ng Spark.

Local version is similar to this... no roof rails.

Budgetary reasons aside, I dont see any point why anyone in their right mind would settle for a vehicle this small, underpowered, that will probably endanger the lives of its passenger because of its less than desired crash worthiness (judging by its size). In a more ideal situation, the lowest common denominator anyone should have to settle for is either a City or Vios for the sake of comfort and better crash worthiness without having to make a compromise with fuel consumption (bec. aside from costs, this is what most people buying sub-compacts or minis, are after in this day and age of rising fuel prices).

Its not really that underpowered, its 1.0 liter engine is actually even stronger than the 1.1 liter engine found in the Picanto and Getz, its also quicker than both. Main reason is of course is for better fuel economy and maneuverability in crowded city streets etc.

You'd be surprised to know JDM Kei cars are smaller than the Spark and Picanto.
These cars are designed mainly for city use, thats why they are called "city cars", meant for crowded city streets.

I don't really get the point in buying the Spark. The Picanto DLX is cheaper, has better after sales service and third party support.

The Picanto has an MP3 head unit, anti-theft system with keyless entry, front power windows, etc.

About the only things the Spark has are the extra 3-point belt and rear fog lamp.

I prefer the styling of the Spark over the Picanto, i find the Picanto's styling a bit dull and generic.
