Actually every body panel is new.
The Daewoo Matiz sold here before was the previous gen model (The Chery QQ is a clone of the previous gen Matiz).
The Matiz sold here before had a 51PS 800cc 3-cylinder engine while the new Spark sold here has a 66PS 1.0 liter 4-cylinder engine.

Previous gen Matiz

Current gen Matiz/Spark

An all-new Chevy Spark/Matiz replacement is expected sometime in 2009 for the 2010MY, it will grow bigger than the current Spark/Matiz.

Styling is based on the Chevy Beat concept.

Hi! FC ng chevy spark ko is 15-17km/L 50% city and 50% highway driving. Sa parts naman di ko pa nasusubukan mag hanap kasi di pako nag papalit ng kahit anong parts, 17,500km+ na reading ng odo so far wala naman naging problem.

I'm considering a Spark.

Magkano unit price nito?

DP? Monthly?

And I share quest uy's question; some people tell me mahirap daw parts. Totoo ba?

Thanks.

wow..... tipid sobra.. friend ko nakaka abot ng 11-12 lang ngayon ano kaya problem neto? synthetic po ba oil niyo? and tips naman po like nag neuneutral ka po ba pag sa highway or malayo ka pa lang sa stoplight. :P

Shell semi synth lang po gamit ko, yun kasi ginagamit ng chevy north edsa... Possible po yung 11-12km/L kung pure city driving at talagang traffic yung way ng friend mo plus mahabang idle time.... yung 15-17km/L ko 50:50 yun ng NLEX at city driving then 90kph average speed ko sa NLEX at change ako ng gear every 2.2-2.5k RPM sa city.....

di ko ginagawa yung pag "neutral" I always use engine break kasi at sa tingin ko mas tipid yung ganon kesa sa lagi ka nag "neutral" at tipid pa sa brake....IMHO

Update lang po: Im using Petron E10, dahil sa medyo malaki na ang binaba ng gas, nag iba na din ako ng driving style... 110-125kph na average speed ko sa NLEX and between 2.5-3k RPM ako nag change ng gear.... FC ko ngayon ay 14.22 - 15.6KM/L. usual route ko everyday is from Malolos to Manila Recto total of 85kms per day.

Ok na ok po sir kaso yung S4 bihira nalang magamit kasi halos pareho lang sila ng FC ng chevy spark... hehehe

para di OT:

Iba na pala yung color blue ng chevy spark ngayon di ko gusto kasi mas light kesa sa older models na blue like mine....
