sorry im trying to make it really dirty before the first carwash with me for 2 weeks already

CONSUMPTION
Around P150/day QC to Ortigas
and around P1000 from QC to Tarlac City and back -- thats the whole NLEX + whole SCTEX

AIRCON
Aircon held up very well in Tarlac, last time we were there it was so hot the aircon couldnt keep up on my husbands old Nissan. Regular driving just set on ''1'' during hottest area in Tarlac was just on '''3''

TRUNK
we bought corn in katipunan the other day and put it in the trunk, and the car still kind of smelled like corn, kasi hindi naman siya talaga trunk so dont buy any durians

for the musicians, the trunk cant fit a guitar in, but can fit 2 amps

DRIVING
Very smooth. When on neutral or slow sometimes we feel nasarhan kami ng makina kasi its so quiet and smooth. on NLEX, reached up to 120 as max speed. Inoovertake pa rin kami though ng mga SUV: )
Handles very well, i am a new driver and so far no sabit. comfortable even on rocky parts of the road in the province.

OTHERS
Lights were good for the dark spots of SCTEX. Seats spacious at the back, fit 2 adult males comfortably, + 1 guitar.

Guys, I suggest for you to create a group at FB, say "Chevy Spark Group - Philippines" to start the ball rolling and invite us Cruze owners so we can support each other, thanks.

Yes i agree!! We spark owners should have a members page at FB. Maybe someone can open an account there. Sorry I don't have anymore FB account. I had to terminate it(don't ask me why, you guys should get it. For the wifey. hehehe

Thanks for the review!! Your FC to Tarlac is encouraging!! Considering 3-4 pax, light luggage(+ guitar) and a new driver to boot, if my computations are correct you got 18.52km/l. P1000 / P54 per liter. And your P150 i presume is not fully consumed, you may have 1-2 bars left right? And is that rush hour traffic?(7-9am to 6-8pm).

See you named your car sparky!!(i guess i'll have to tell my wife to think of a new one then hehehe). Again congrats and enjoy your new car, be safe on the road and Godspeed!

If you like I can open one for you.... Is "Chevy Spark Group - Philippines" okay with you?

UPDATE: I took the liberty of creating one for you guys so you can start na. Here's the link http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=...159065922&ap=1

haha sparky is just natural :-) bagay talaga eh!

oh to clarify din, during the drive to tarlac and back, 2 people lang kami (and 1 guitar ) plus i didnt do the driving then..takot pako sa highway hehe

and the 150 a day on a QC-Ortigas and back route also includes a few side trips within QC for some minor errands, so yes I think can even go lower lalo na if no traffic. Parking lang ang problema hehe, ang mahal sa ortigas

my Sentra's sold and will need a temporary car as I work my papers for migrating to Australia. Youngest sister will benefit once I leave, so it appears the Spark will be the car to be until I leave.

Guys, anyone who had been to any local dealer. Can you tell me what are available colors for spark?

And red pala!

have you found a dealer? what were they able to give you? blue, white and red need to be ordered in advance. A lot of people prefer to those special colors(might require a deposit)

hi guys! first post ko to sa tsikot.

nagmember ako just to be a part of this forum kasi sobrang kinoconsider ko itong Spark for my first car.

sa sulit.com.ph, nakakuha ko ng mga quotations.

any tips sa color? i really want the gray one pero i'm not sure kung meron nun dito sa Pinas at ano ba ang recommended para sa first-time drivers?

I think what they have is silver, and its good kasi matching yung interior. Yung blue matching din. Yung green ko, the interior is silver

Go for it! Ako no regrets naman. First car ko din, and I'm also a new driver. Not very good driver ha. Its great kasi ang ganda ng handling niya, plus maliit siya, so never ako sumabit or natakot na sumabit.

i'll be sure to check them out.

kaya ko naconsider to kasi naghahanap ako ng personal car na pwede gawing service everyday (bulacan - UST) na matipid sa gas at madaling isingit sa mga crowded parking space ng campus. eto number 1 sa list ko.

i think several years from now, ganitong klase na ng coche ang magdodominate sa mga kalsada dahil sa practicality nila.

I spoke to one SA from pasig dealer last Friday because she called me. She doesn't offer anything... She told me the product is new so no discount or freebies that are available yet. So it discourages me from buying from that dealer. Hopefully I could find a dealer that will give discount because my budget is tight.

To the new Spark owners..how's the fuel consumption?

[KrisKros]

borntrippy: Glad to hear that you're enjoying your Spark. Inggit ako sa FC mo hehe. We might buy my bro a Spark for his daily commute. Such a nice looking car and nice price as well

By the way. From Ortigas to QC, how many Kms is that?

Sa color kasi bro depende talaga yan sa kung ano ba talaga ang gusto mo, afterall ikaw ang gagamit hehehehe pero when I saw the green Spark at Motorama - napa-WOW talaga ako, until I saw this Red one cruising along Roxas Blvd, napa-WOW ulit ako... hahaha! nakakalito!

On the question about discounts and freebies, let me check with the Chevy Management if there is indeed any. Pagkakaalam ko kasi kapag bago medyo wala pang discount kasi introductory price pa yan and about the freebies -- sana mapagbigyan din kayong mga prospective Spark buyers.... Babalikan ko po kayo once I have their reply. Thanks.
