Super quiet nga ng makina, pero unlike other drivers, thankfully hindi ako namamatayan. My spark is about a week old na. I really love it, as in no regrets whatsoever. i hope this feeling lasts. everyone says that it's so cute. Even kids love the look.
Performance-wise, I like it also. But then again, I'm not a competitive/aggressive driver. I don't mind being passed by other cars, or masingitan, kasi nansisingit din naman ako, hehe. BTW, ang daling sumingit kasi ang liit, ang dali ding imani-obra!
For now I drive between 40/80kph. Usually 50, since butas-butas naman ang Cavitex kapag papuntang Cavite, lol.
Gas-wise, i think ang average ko is 1000 Php per week (Noveleta, Cavite to Rizal Park/Manila City hall) so puede na, feeling ko nga malakas pa yun kasi mabagal usually ang takbo ko kasi someone said I shouldn't exceed 40kph during the break-in period. Totoo ba yun?
The gas I use is Caltex Gold (Octane 95), since it's higher grade and smoother, although in the manual it said recommended ang Octane 93 or Caltex Silver. Delekado ba kung Oct 95 ang ginagamit ko? Pareho namang unleaded yun diba?
SO far, okay na okay ang car. Oh, and maluwag sya sa likod unlike what most non-Spark owners say. Nagulat ako how roomy it was when my family went to Manila last week, two adults in front and the parents at the back, roomy pa rin, and hindi sya parang alikansya or kahon na naiihip sa hangin.
I really like it so far :-)
