2012 Chevrolet Spin

[Syuryuken]

Hanggang ngayon wala pa akong nakikitang Spin

[fidem]

Got our switchblade silver last Friday, Dec 6. Drove it Bicol 2 days after na ma release yung unit. Kayang kaya niya akyatin ang Atimonan zigzag na naka automatic lang. Yung manual shift ginamit ko sya for engine breaking pababa ng zigzag. Yung load nung sasakyan is 1 driver and 1 passenger then loaded yung likod ng mga baggage.

hi. so far anong verdict for Spin? good buy ba?

I think ill go for avanza un entry or mid lang na variant..

I owned the entry level avanza before.
I can say that it has a relatively bumpy ride (matagtag talaga).
If you've driven a chevrolet spark, the driving dynamics of an avanza is POOR(relative to the chev unit).
Nahihilo mga passengers if you do some "sporty" maneuvers with the Avanza.
AvanzaFOC in pure city drive is 11km/l
AvanzaBest FOC I had in pure hi-way is 16km/l
At 80km/hr, the Avanza unit I had begins to shake.....(I dare not go beyond that speed)

Reading the thread of Spin and feedback from owners, I think in my opinion the Spin is a far better choice.

To owners of Spin AT Gas variant,

Hello.
Pardon me if my question may sound silly, but have you ever tried
putting the Spin in manual mode while in the city then measure its fuel consumption?

2012 pa ba nilabas yan spin? la pa nga din ako nakikitang spin sa daan.

From what I know August 2013 ang first release niya sa mga Chevy dealership dito sa pinas, imported ito from Indonesia which started production March 2013 lang.

I have tried it just to see how it works pero the difference in fuel consumption versus drive mode di ko pa na measure.
If may difference siguro konti lang kasi semi-auto sya, automatic downshift if bumagal.

I will try to measure it and post the result because the last time I used it nangalay ang kamay ko sa push button for up shift on stop & go traffic, iba pa rin ang manual stick shift

Much appreciate gelca01 for sharing your experience. Thanks.

nakakita na ko kanina parang mas malaki at mas mahaba siya sa Avanza.

[Calistro]

Any ball park figures on the maintenance schedule of the diesel variant as well as costs? Also, any feedback on how Chevrolet dealership services are?

The Spin is wider and longer than an Avanza.
Unlike the Avanza, the Spin is car-based, it rides on GM's Gamma II platform which is also used by the Sonic.

If you want something more refined and car-like and don't mind that it has a bowtie badge instead of a stylized T badge, go for the Spin, but I don't really recommend the local spec base LS 1.3 diesel MT model since they deleted safety features like airbags and ABS.

PS: The Spin is actually closer in size to the Nissan Grand Livina.

Update:
hanggang ngayon, wala pa rin ang LTZ diesel. As per SA ko, probably sa thursday daw darating ang mga LTZ variants pero di pa sure kung andun na ang diesel... baka gas pa lang.

If only there was a way to have the diesel Orlando here heheh.

Palagi kong napapansin yung warehouse sa bandang STAR Expressway na maraming Chevrolet units - Trailblazer, Orlando, and Spin (siguro)... End of last year naman puro Mitsubishi Montero... Start of 2013 last quarter naman puro Ford units... Ano kaya meron dun?

Anyway, sure na maraming units ang Chevy simula December pa. Hindi pa lang siguro mailabas sa warehouse na yun.

Lastly, sobrang ingat tayo na wag maarawan tsikot natin pero dun sa warehouse na yun kawawa maraming units na nasa labas nakabilad.

[dale323]

Medyo paexcite nga itong spon ltz na to. Kung meron man lang sana kahit driver side airbag yung ls, malamang kumuha na kami. Safety features lang talaga ang habol namin sa LTZ. Bagay pa naman din ung gunmetal te37 sa red or blue spin.

To gelca01,

May I ask when you get your 6-7km/l city driving, how is the condition of the traffic?
Is it light, moderate or heavy traffic?

Regards

Ito ang comparison. Mas mura sya and maluwag ng konti versus Avanza. I got my Spin 1.5L Gas LTZ AT last year Nov 20. So far happy ako sa performance & comfort, pag nalubak di matagtag. Ganda ng interior, ung headunit may integrated setting para sa door locks & alarms. di nga lang ako sanay sa taas ng fuel consumption (6-7 l/km city driving) nya kasi galing ako sa 1.3 idsi MT jazz.

Hi Folks,

Newbie in the forum, I am considering Spin as a family car.

Ask ko lang po ang availability ng 1.5L Gas LTZ AT. Saan chevy branch po ang sure release ng units?
Aling bangko po ang recommended for Bank PO?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Ah talaga sir? Ayos yun. Ang magiging concern naman is availability ng parts heheh.
