2011 Chevy Spark

regarding the heated issue in this thread...

for some reason, our country's society comes to mind :D

Low Resale Value - Check
Bad Service - Check

Long waiting time for some parts - Check
Lakas sa gas - Check

Chevrolet Owner - Yes. Optra 1.6 m/t(sold, thank God), Optra 1.8LT a/t, Venture LT, Trailblazer LT (Sold)

People say those things about Chevrolet because its true. Atleast for the last generation models and management. Right now, the management is trying to improve but seems like medyo ganun pa din.

For the Trailblazer, I can understand the expensive maintenance since this is a North American model, but for the Optra, really terrible. The Venture, we're just lucky ours isn't as sirain as the other units.

Take note that all cars are not high mileage. '03 Optra was sold with around 55-60k mileage. Trailblazer only had about 38k.

I can understand that the Chevrolets we had were the crappy ones. But you have to understand that a lot of people got stung by these cars which is why Chevrolet has to rebuild the brand again.

The Cruze and Spark seems like they are good cars but a lot of people will still be hesitant to buy it because the of the damage done by the previous management and the previous generation of cars

sabi na e... ganyan sasabihin nila... lumang chevy pa din... nasa bagong page na kasi kami ng chevy and it is always assumed that new chevy cars are like that... : )

WOW! I burned my eyes reading this thread! The point that people are talking about Chevy here in this thread, with non-Chevy owners, is a plus already. Why do you think these people visit the Chevy threads? Like Ghosthunter who is a Lancer loyalist. He is very interested with the Cruze! He loves the Cruze man! He only hates the management. Those car hunters who are looking for cars to buy, visited this thread. They heard about it and was interested to hear about it! They were struck by the looks of the car, they heard about it, and they are interested in it. There are negatives they hear that some people can't accept. But there are chevy lovers that put faith in the car and the people behind the brand. It's all about our freedom to choose people. Some like it, some don't. Same with Mitsus, Hondas, and Toyotas. Some love them, some don't. The thread is a good exercise of our freedom. So take it easy peeps.

I put much respect with av8or5. These man has a problem with his Cruze but you never see him gripe like Ghosthunter and Tidus who never had one. av8or5 is fair in his remarks. May it Chevy, Hyundai or his Strada. These kind of people you can respect (j.caine, bananatype, and the others).

For others who gripe, hey! they are entitled to thier own opinion. It's freedom they are exercising. They throw eggs at the brand and thereby blurr our respect to them. They are taking this route at their own expense, to defend their interest ( because they feel it inferior... if it is superior, then why bother talking about more inferior things). They might be talking behind their handle name so they throw bad statements expecting no one knows them. And I see Chevy owners, like the King Marlboro, holding his bricks and bat ready to rumble. But hold your bats and bricks gentlemen. Just be happy these people put interest on what we own. Treat it with a grain of salt. for me, it tastes better. And am proud to be a chevy owner!

CHEERS!

Old chevy spark owner ako 10months/18km mileage to be exact. So far no problem.

[borntrippy]

if open trade sila tratrade ko na picanto ko!

parang they have nga this option...dun sa reservation form ko may field for trade in info ..

to dondon, thanks for the input! parang wala nga ako masyadong nakikitang spark sa roads, puro aveo (and rare din ha)...parang fun din maging ''unique''

[glntVR]

sabi na e... ganyan sasabihin nila... lumang chevy pa din... nasa bagong page na kasi kami ng chevy and it is always assumed that new chevy cars are like that... : )

It will be hard to assume but lets hope that the new management can fix everything. So far only Chevrolet Pasig seems to be acting on improving customer service.

The current and upcoming cars from Chevy seems very promising but they have a brand image to rebuild and that won't be fixed overnight. So Chevrolet owners have to understand that there will always be people bashing the brand.


I also hate it when people comment pero wala naman silang first hand experience pala.

[bwax]

ganda nga ng white na spark!!! check this one out:



i like!!!!

boss awallit, magkano ang trade in value ng '07 aveo sedan?


P.S. ayos din pala ung layout ng engine bay, yung air filter box directly behind the front grille...pag out of warranty na pwede nang salpakan ng cone-type air filter, para ram air effect (haaay wala pa akong spark, mino-modify ko na hehehe)

alright! matanong lang, you said before that old chevy cars are crappy ones? nagkaroon ka na pala ng optra 1.6L bakit nag optra 1.8L ka pa ulet? tama ba ako?

Ganda naman ng video.

[batang_raon14]

had a chance to test it out in the Motorama.. leg room for the rear passenger is hell good for a small car! :D

It was my dad who got it. And the 1.8 was bought months after the 1.6. I told him not to buy it but makulit siya. And yes, i stand my ground, Optras are really comfy but engine, transmission, maintenance cost, fuel consumption and resale value is really crappy. And these are facts. Right now, I'm getting the same fuel consumption with the 1.8 Optra and the X-trail 2.5CVT that i'm using.

Anyway, can we move on with the discussion. What's being discussed here are the new chevy cars anyway which seems miles ahead of the previous generation models

Saw this spark in moa last feb 19. Ganda! Tinanong ko yung SA about the fuel consumption, sabi nya 27 km/l daw sa ibang bansa. I doubted. But well if this is true, this car is really worth considering!
