CHEVROLET SPARK (2005-CURRENT)

We Say...
The result of a study revealed that the Chevrolet brand is respected (just slightly) above Daewoo--and so, worldwide Daewoo products are re-badged as Chevrolet. Witness the Spark, the Matiz with a new grille and a new face. It's certainly a cheap car, but this one's not cheerful enough to sway us from the Hyundai Getz--which is the better proposition.
Cheap.
But not cheerful.
