Skoda’s Fabia is a popular small car among buyers who are looking for good value for money. The car’s durability and practicality are very appealing above more subjective attributes. It provides good levels of refinement and a decent ride for a car of this size.
As far as the overall design of the new Fabia goes, it is more of the same but improved and that says a lot because the outgoing Fabia was highly rated. The car benefits from more headroom and rear legroom. The width is still a bit cosy but the boot is larger and makes for a very user-friendly five-door hatchback. The space is reasonable and with storage areas and cubbyholes logically placed. Cars with air conditioning also receive cooled gloveboxes.

General Motors India has come up with LPG variant of its flagship hatchback Spark. Christened as spark LPG – it will sold across India.
The Chevrolet Spark offers a host of features that combine with its handsome, sturdy, and solid good looks to give it an edge in the market. This Hatchback has a new and improved body design and all the space that you would want for your family.
The cute little Spark has always been a great value for money proposition in its segment – attractive design, sporty interiors and a peppy engine make for a brilliant small car. Then General Motors also had some ultra-awesome warranty and service schemes for all their vehicles adding even more value. As if that was not enough, GM has gone ahead and played the LPG move with their tiny tot.
The concept of offering a factory-fitted LPG kit isn’t exactly new – even in the small car segment. Maruti has already done it with the Wagon R Duo and Hyundai with the Santro LPG. But what really sets the Spark apart is that the integration of the LPG is an extremely well executed affair.
But, as General Motors claims, this also ensures no backfire or loss in power while switching from petrol to LPG operation. ARAI figures place the Spark LPG’s mileage at 13.72 kmpl, which, coupled with the large 26.2 litre tank capacity translates into a pretty huge operating range on LPG. Along with the LPG kit, Chevrolet has also revamped the interiors of the Spark.

In India there are 2 versions of the Tavera, the original Tavera, the base model which includes the B1 and B2 trims, and the Tavera neo 2(this version was called simply Tavera neo before the Indian Tavera facelift, and before that Tavera Elite), the normal version which includes the LS-B3, the LS-B4, the LT-L and the high-end SS-D1.
