Chevrolet Car Reviews

I bought my chevrolet exclusive in 2005. Its the imported version with 800 cc engine.

To start with it is the best compact car around by a huge margin. Vitz comes in a different category and with a different price so cannot compare Vitz. Vitz is a better car than Chevrolet Joy or exclusive in my opinion.

Coming back to the car.

In last 5 years the only part that was replaced was reverse switch. Reverse light stopped working. Other than that the car is absolutely trouble free Mashallah.

Never been to mechanic, no unusual sounds, no cheap quality material used.

I love its fuel economy. It gives me between 18-21 km / liter on long routes and within city it gives an average of 13-14 km / liter. All this with ac and without extra effort to keep the fuel expense down by using a light foot etc. I don't have cng in it but I have seen trouble free exclusive / joy with cng. But who needs a cng when the avg is so damn good.

Its a safe car as compared to its competitors. It has the usual seat belts, plus it has collapsable steering wheel in case of impact with the steering during accident. The side doors have bars to give added protection in case of an impact.
It lacks ABS and airbags which is a disadvantage.

Front seats are pretty comfortable and a person of my height 6ft can easily and freely move around inside the car. Even the passengers at the back are seated comfortably something which is missing in santro, mehran and even swift.

The car is not built for performance but for its 800cc engine its pretty fast and if driven within limits it has good road grip. The height of the car is not great which in turns hits speed breakers or car breakers in our case, but height is kept low intentionally to keep a good road grip. Overall I can say that it can easily beat any car in its category with performance on stock engine.

Its a shame that the car couldn't make a place in the market and its discontinued now and a newer model is launched which is SPARK. Currently spark is imported and with high duties its not value for money in my humble opinion.
You can find a decent chevrolet joy in around 400k which is good value for money and overall I feel that its a car to keep. I believe my car can run trouble free for another 5 years or so.

Chevrolet JOY an appearing name in the market of today, It is so luxurious and comfortable as compare to all other cars of same category. According to market or re-sale point of view, It will gain more importance if people considere its features seriously and comparatively. Here in Pakistan, some trends were adopted in the past and still in vogue. We don't pay attention to new brands. Chevrolet has a well known International Company, If we value its brands, which are able to be valued and competitive with other companies, the Chevrolet company may launch its spare parts and other necessary equipments in market as well. Then the grievance of expensive spare parts will be resolved and we can realy be enjoyed the most economical and comfortable vehicle within our pocket limits. Please encourage it a step ahead as Mehran VXR or other cars of such type.

I purchased this car some 2 months back after comparing specifications of Cuore, Alto and Cultus. I was looking for some small size car ... obviously because of garage parking issue :).

Was a little conscious because Chevorlet didn't allow test drive --- hence no verification on their claims. But was confident because of its foreign assembling and after reading a bit on Internet.

This turned out to be a joy ride over last 2 months. I am totally satisfied with luxurious feel of the car. The details, finishing is good ... no loose ends.

Interior is well designed, best usage of space you will find places to keep you wallet, mobile, coffee cup, water bottle, loose papers, tissue box and all in reach of hand.

Comfort while driving is great for this size car. Spacious in front -- real comfortable.

Back seats are relaxing with ample leg space. Drive from Lahore to Peshawar on motorway was not tiring.

A/C is perfect for 800cc car, even better than 1000cc (comparing to Cultus).

Its MTect-II 800cc engine by no means an 800cc engine, you can easily compare the performance with a 1000cc engine.

Exteror, body shape/strength all are good for this scale car.

Fuel consumption is approx 12km/litre in city and 15km/liter on motorway. The claim was 18km/litre. So it failed here. But still worth it. At 140km/h it is stable drive. The pick and speed is not that much effected by running A/C.

Above all it is with 2 yrs warranty or 50,000km which ever comes first. The knob to adjust fan speed had few problems after 1 month or purchase ... it was a connection solding issue, which i got fixed from a 3S dealer in no time. Staff was trained.

Do not go for Chevorlet Joy --- Spark is much better than that.

I will say best value for money, I am happy to pay Rs. 40,000 extra for this comparing to Cuore. I am a satisfied driver of Spark --- Alhamdu Lillah.

Chevrolet Joy is a good balanced, roomy and a bit luxurious car when compared to Alto and coure. It has MPI engine that is better than both coure and alto engine. It has good suspension. It has power windows and power steering functions. Not found in coure and alto. The drive is pretty smooth.

However , there some negatives as well. Its not as popular as coure or Alto. It resale value is not good either. Maintenance is quite expensive compared to coure and alto. Maintenance points are also limited across the country.

However , buying this car is worth the money spent.
