Developed specifically for emerging markets, the first thing you notice with the Spin is how compact it is. With a wheelbase of just 2,620 mm and an overall length of just 4,260 mm, it’s no longer than a typical compact sedan. But this is where Chevrolet designers start to get crafty. By reducing the overhangs and adopting a formal squared-off roofline with a large greenhouse, the Spin looks like a 90th percentile MPV. More than just being practical, the Spin is also stylish and modern-looking. The front-end is cute with its large, expressive headlamps and the smiling dual-port grille. The front bumpers also visually cut an aerodynamic profile. At the side, the Spin doesn’t rely on any sort of door molding; instead it has a strong crease on the doors sandwiched by two wheel flares that extend onto the doors. The Spin’s rearview is more functional, but the central cutout for the door handle and the mudguard “lip” on the bumper add a dose of style.
The tall roofline and large windows already give a great feeling of space, but Chevrolet designers went a step further and used light toned plastics and fabrics to give the airiest cabin experience possible. Going with a two-toned hue, the Spin has a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. The plastics are hard to the touch, but they’re well-textured and solidly put together. The seats feel rich and opulent, though they seem to attract dark-colored lint, so regular vacuuming is a must. The dashboard design itself maximizes available space by making it as flat and canting upward as much as possible. Yet, there’s a wealth of storage and cubby holes (22 in total) including one of the largest door pockets you’ll ever see in a car.
In terms of interior space, all three rows of the Spin is certified Average Filipino friendly (average being 160 cm or so in height). The front and second row seats offer nice support making this a great car to drive or to be driven in. The driver has the added comfort of a 4-way adjustable seat and a tilt-adjustable steering wheel. The three-spoke steering wheel itself is nice to grip. Those in the third row will have to be content with a slightly knees-up position but the adjustable headrests and recline helps make trips more comfortable. With all three rows up there’s barely enough space to even fit a duffel bag, but fold and flip the third row bench forward (it locks into place via a crude cord tied to the second row headrest), the luggage space grows to fit airport luggage. To fit longer items such as stand fans and golf bags, the Spin’s second row folds flat in a 60/40 split-fold.
Getting into the Spin’s driver’s seat, you’re welcomed by Chevrolet’s familiar motorcycle-inspired gauge cluster. The large digital speedometer and large analog tachometer (that swings up on ignition) add a sporty style without compromising on legibility. The Spin’s instrument panel is surprisingly full-featured with a multi-function trip computer and even adjustable dimmer control. The rest of the driving controls are well-placed with the shifter, hand brake, stalks, and knob-type light control all within easy reach. The only two exceptions are the knobs for the air conditioning which require an extra reach to adjust and the asymmetrical design of the radio face which requires a good look-see to operate.
Though the availability of a small 1.3-liter turbo diesel is the main reason why the Spin grabbed headlines, the 1.5-liter gasoline engine is a sensible choice too, especially if you can’t or won’t drive stick. With 109 horsepower and 141 Nm of torque, the Spin’s S-TEC III (though Chevrolet Philippines claims it’s an ECOTEC engine) is quiet and refined given this vehicle’s class. It idles unobtrusively and even lets out a motorcycle-like note as the revs climb up. Floor the throttle though, and the Spin’s cabin vibrates in unison with the engine creating an uncomfortable gurgling sound at around 2,000 rpm. The Spin’s clearly made more for city driving instead of highway driving as the 6-speed automatic shifts up at the soonest possible time. As the speeds climb past 80 km/h, the Spin’s already past 2,000 rpm on 6th gear and as a result it struggles to reach triple digit speeds. Also, fuel economy’s isn’t really mind-blowing, resulting in just 8.4 km/L in the city.
Based off the platform that also underpins the Chevrolet Sonic, the Spin is remarkably refined. In fact, it drives pretty much like a wagon as opposed to a cumbersome AUV. It exhibits excellent straight line stability and remains quiet even at high speed cruising. At lower speeds, it’s very compliant around Manila. It also feels very nimble not only because of its small exterior dimensions but also because of its excellent all-around visibility. Even without the aid of parking sensors, the Spin is easily slotted into the tiniest of parking space. On the flipside, the steering is somewhat heavy and the Spin does have a strong urge to understeer through corners. The body roll is also very noticeable because of the softy-sprung suspension.
Priced at P 838,888, the Chevrolet Spin is actually very good value for money. Not only does it deliver car-like levels of driving and refinement, it comes fully loaded with pretty much everything a modern Filipino family could wish for. Standard on the Spin 1.5 LTZ are features such as variable intermittent wipers, a multi-function trip computer, front and rear fog lamps, dual air conditioning, a CD/MP3 audio system with USB and Bluetooth hands-free capabilities, dual SRS airbags, and anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution. The only glaring thing missing are front height adjustable seatbelts.
The Chevrolet Spin, especially in its 1.5 LTZ guise lifts the AUV segment from merely being considered as the mere alternative when it comes to buying a family MPV. It’s definitely priced and featured to sell, but above all, the Chevrolet Spin shows that style and sophistication need not be expensive.

ReplyDeletehow's the temperature on the 3rd row of this mpv?
ReplyDeleteTemperature of the third row? Given that the test drive unit doesn't have tint, it was a bit hot on any row. Rest assured though, the a/c is more than adequate to handle Manila heat. Remember, this is smaller than say, the Innova, so less area to cool.
DeleteSorry for the kinda misleading english. I was referring sir the room temperature since, i dunno, if it has an a/c vent or fan blower from the second row.
DeleteAh okay...the Chevrolet Spin has a dual manual air conditioning with ceiling-mounted vents for all rows. Hope that answers your question.
Deletetgdadalawa po a/c vents sa second tska third row.
DeleteHow's the fuel consumption?
ReplyDelete8.4 km/L--it's in the article.
Deleteung saken po diesel.. 19-23 k/l highway,,
DeleteHow many naman sakay mo niyan? hindi ba hirap siyang magdrive sa highway lalo na sa overtakes?
DeleteSir Ulysses Ang.
DeleteI'm on the way of scouting a car. At nakita ko na best choice ko ang spin however, medjo nag second thought ako sa consumption ang gas which 8.4 km/liter. A bit expensive.
Try the 1.3-liter diesel if you're concerned about fuel consumption. You do have to drive a manual though.
DeleteFuel consumption for spin 14-16 L for city driving, 23k for Long driving...

Hi Sir, how about the load capacity of spin (7 persons) and size of its body in relation to the its engine size (1.5 DSL M/T)?? Is the 1.5 engine size perfectly matches its maximum load capacity, in the long run??? am about to buy my first car and considering the Chevy Spin...thanks..
ReplyDeleteThe 1.5-liter gasoline is so-so in terms of performance, refinement, and fuel efficiency. The 1.3-liter diesel fares way better but I haven't tried it out yet. Of course, the diesel only comes with a manual.
DeleteHi has anyone tried using this fully loaded, on climbs along ternate to nasugbu or, the route to laguna through teresa to mabitac. My current sedan can handle those but i'm thinking this might not due to engine size compared to load capacity. Thanks
ReplyDeletemalakas ba humatak ang diesel spin pag sa Baler uphill? lalo na kung Fully Loaded?...
ReplyDeleteBased on experience,hirap xa umarangkada uphill
Deleteok naman spin uphill
Deletemas mataas torque ng gas po....HP - 109 Torque 141.

Deletehow about the fuel consumption? sino ang mas matipid sa kanila ng avanza 1.3MT
ReplyDeleteHi Sir Ulysses! Good day! Do you know about the new top variant in Indonesia which they called it Spin Activ 1.5L Gas AT? Will it be also available to Philippines? Thanks.
ReplyDeletetotoo po bang mahirap maghanap ng piyesa ng chevrolet sa pilipinas?
ReplyDeleteO nga magkakaroon nga po ba ng spin activ variant, sa pinas? At kelan po? Ofw ako, at spin ang isa sa kinokonsider ko.
ReplyDeleteAdjust nang adjust ng price ang chevy since mataas ang demand for spin. They play like Ford. I love these american based companies but....
ReplyDeleteFor those who are considering to buy this car. DONT!!! Ive just bought 1 last april,with only 5k km of total run, it broke down.the brakes wont work,lights went off,,,hear this,, WHILE TRAVELLING!!although in a suburban highway at 25k/h, delikado padin esp kung sa fast moving traffic ka natyempuhan.anyway, the service is very dissapointing, the dealers, well,, pera pera lang talaga.service says na sira ang bat & alternator,they dont know if when pa makakakuha ng parts,qhen maayos ang car, &even y xa nasira.NO SERVICE CAR.NO NOTHING.bahala na ang customer kung defective ang unit na naibigay.dahil,as the rep said.. WALA PO KAMING MAGAGAWA,,,-im a mom of 2, so we opted to buy a brand new car na fam friendly,pero isang malaking pagkakamali
ReplyDeleteHi as of the moment i am travelling with no a/c!!! And my kids af the backinqc traffic this is such a hassle for me too and the passengers
DeleteI'm sorry but I have to strongly disagree with the comment just above made by Ms. Unknown. We just recently bought a Chevrolet Spin 1.5 LTZ and we are more than satisfied with the performance of our car. The review written by Mr. Ang was accurate and objective. I also do not believe Ms. Unknown's claim that the dealer (I'm assuming she was referring to Chevrolet) did not offer assistance in servicing her Spin. In fact, most Chevrolet Ph vehicles carry a 3 to 5-year warranty. If your car was indeed a lemon, I'm sure you are covered by the newly passed Lemon Law. Truth be told, I would highly recommend the Spin over any other AUV or MPV in the market. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteHirap ba pag sa uphill?
DeleteHaven't gone uphill as in Baguio-type, I've only tried it in parking buildings within the metro. Hindi naman hirap. :-)
DeleteMine is LTZ 1.3 Diesel, sobrang tipid. Na akyat ko narin sa baguio kayang kaya with 6 passengers, though patay ang AC. I highly recommend this car. :)
Deletenung una marekominda ko sya dahil okey sya, pero ngayon HINDI na sobrang disapointed n ko nabili ko yung spin LTZ 1.3 diesel ko nung last wik ng December, nagsimula ng Agust nag simula n syang mag lowpower binalik ko sya sa service nila inayos pero wla pang1 wik nagkaganun uli, sabi nila s egr daw, tapus sbi din nila madumi daw yung turbo kaylangan daw linisin, pero kanun pa din, dalawang beses n kaming muntik maaksidende ng pamilya ko, nung huli namatay n yung makina nya kaya binalik ko n s knila yung car at sabi ko dapat palitan n nila ng ibang unit yung car dahil delikado n yun bka maaksidente p kami ng pamilya ko kung ibabalik nila uli sakin yun. nkipag usap sakin yung vp ng service at vp ng sale nila at ang sabi sakin iuwi ko n daw yung sasakyan at okey n daw yun, sabi ko hindi n kc nag k troma n kmi s car kung iyon uli ang ibibigay nila sakin parang ayaw ko n sya i drive, sabi nila s dti n daw kami magusap, ngayon gagawa kmi ng letter s dti para s reklamo nmin, buhay n yung pinag uusapan d2 hindi p nila maintindihan gusto p ata nila n maaksidente kmi pra lng palitan nila yung unit n sa tingin nmin ay defective tlga. syang yung pera n pinag ipunan nmin s pagbili ng spin nyan n akala nmin ay maayos at may tibay n maaasahan... kung may balak kayong bumili nito siguro ay mag isip muna kyo ng maraming beses baka magaya lng kyo samin n bumili ng sakit ng ulo...
DeleteI just bought a spin LTZ, yung central door locks nya, kahit naka-lock na, nao-open pa rin ng mga passengers from the inside... Is this normal? Sabi kasi ng chev q. ave, normal daw yun. Childlock ko na lang daw yung doors if I feel di sya secured. Lahat ng spin daw ganun. Naisip ko, what if someone opens the passenger door from the inside while the car is moving/parking... isn't that dangerous?
Deleteganyan talaga ang design nyan sir. sana tinignan nyo muna bago nyo binili para di kayo nagsisisi
DeleteYes, maganda ang SPIN, parang naka kotse pa rin ako, sa arangkada medyo mahina pero sa higway kapag naka 6th gear na @2000rpm 100kph kaya ma maintain. Na try ko na rin mag 135kph stable pa rin. 7 people on board papunta quezon zigzag, kaya naman just don't expect na parang FWD ang lakas. 7 people sa highway 12-14km/L, sa city mild traffic 9-10km/L, sa super trafic as in parang naglalakad 6-8km/L, Tatlo kaming nakasakay, sa highway pinakamataas ko from cabuyao to magallanes 16.4km/L. Fold the 3rd and 2nd row then buksan mo back door, sarap humiga at mag relax under the tree shades. Fold mo 3rd row naka kotse ka na uli. Compared to my sister's sportivo 2013 model na paminsan minsan kong ginagamit mahahalata mo ang pagkakaiba ng truck at sedan.
ReplyDeletebakit laging madumi ang front mag ng spin? di namn putik ng duming parang brake dust?
ReplyDeletemalaks mag produce ng brake dust ng spin namin any solution to this please?
ReplyDeleteOo nga sir daming daming dumi ng mags sa harap because of break dust. Is this a sign of defect ?
ReplyDeletenakakadiscourage namn po bumili ng spin, eto pa nmn sana ang balak ko bilhin ngayong december 2014, kaso sa mga review nyo, nakakadismaya n mangyari sa akin ang mga defects and problems n naexperience nyo, so i suppose i just choose another option at magchecheck ulit sa mga forums at comments like this, sa mga mayari n so far walang problem, bka di nyo pa nasasagad sa paggamit ang sasakyan nyo,ang naoobserbahan ko lng ay almost lahat ng may problema sa spin ay under running hours pa, meaning mababa ang kinakailangan na maintenance interval ng spin which implies costly maintenance. at hindi porket may warranty eh okay na, tapos hnd ok sa fuel economy
ReplyDeleteAno na po yung latest dito sa spin? Is it worth buying? I am planning to buy this December pero mukhang maraming reklamo. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteKung gusto mo ay malakas humatak na pang 7 persons, go for an SUV or innova. Sa spin para syang kotse na mahina arangkada (if makikipag karera ka don't buy this). Kung kailangan mo ng mabigat ang sakay lagi dont buy this. If you want to switch from sedan to a small van from time to time with driving comfort in mind try the SPIN automatic (gas 1.5 LTZ). Mas matipid sya sa dating kong 1.3 na car base on long journey consumption (6-8hrs driving 12km/L against 11KM/L). sa traffic parehas lang 6-9KM/L. If this is your first car try toyota brand, if you have good experience in car maintenance and knows the basic capabilities of a certain car features, this is a nice car to have.
ReplyDeleteTo the person who wrote just above my post, thank you. My brother warned me about buying this car, that I should check on the reviews first. My choice is this over the Innova but reading on with all other reviews, I finally made a choice. Bakit nga mas marami ang naka Innova kaysa Chevvy. I wanted a distiction, to be different from the many so I had insisted on the Spin til I read the reviews. Sometimes in a brand, the more users, the more wiser buyers.
ReplyDeletenakuuuuuuu!!!! mukang madaming magbabagu ang isip n bumili ng sasakyan na ito..at isa n ako dun...
ReplyDeleteI'm planning to buy this car since i have quite a big family, having a first time to have a car like this of course i consider the, safety,fuel consumption, and maintenance and parts..please feedback for me a much positive or negative side before i got this car...many thanks..
ReplyDeleteHas anyone tried driving the Spin 1.3L diesel engine from Manila to Baguio and what was the result? Thanks!
ReplyDeletecnu nka Spin po dito na ntry na nag LONG distance sa byahe?? our family has a plan to buy this car pero ang hirap nang magdecide dhil sa mga negative feedbacks. sana my magcomment pa dito kung ano ang Performance ng spin.
ReplyDeletenice performance ng spin.. long distance travel from Quezon City to Southern Leyte...to problem po...
Deletemaganda kc ang spin lalo na kung diesel tpos 7 sitter pa.. pero yang defect na yan na feedbacks. ang hirap nang magdecide. kasi BEFORE sana IRELEASE tong CAR na to sana my TEST DRIVE sila gaya ng MISTUBISHI mirage na my test drive sila para malaman performance ng sasakayan.
ReplyDeleteIt would be our first car, but how do we ensure of this car after our purchase..?
ReplyDeleteI just bought a spin LTZ, yung central door locks nya, kahit naka-lock na, nao-open pa rin ng mga passengers from the inside... Is this normal? Sabi kasi ng chev q. ave, normal daw yun. Childlock ko na lang daw yung doors if I feel di sya secured. Lahat ng spin daw ganun. Naisip ko, what if someone opens the passenger door from the inside while the car is moving/parking... isn't that dangerous?
ReplyDeleteNawalan ako ng gana sa Spin...hays baka Innova nalang kaso mahal.
ReplyDeleteHaka haka nyo lng yan na hindi ok ang chevy spin, dito sa korea ang chevrolet nakikipag compete sa korean cars like kia and hyundai ang dami ko rin nakikita dito na chevy cars especialy orlando.. sa pilipinas kasi popular ang toyota, mitsubishi..
ReplyDeleteCorrect ! dito sa Brazil marami ang SPIN ginawang taxi nga lang yung iba. But of course for practicality reason din lang at city driving ok na sa akin ang Spin and Im planning to have this next month to replace my old one.
ReplyDeleteiba ang test drive kay sa araw2x mo ginagamit ang car. Pag test drive di mo ma mahalata ang sira kasi panandalian lang. KAYA WAG MAG RELY KAAGAD SA TEST DRIVE LANG. MAG TIWALA SA MGA ACTUAL OWNERS NA NAG FEEDBACK...
DeleteOne year na sa March ang spin ko. Wala naman defect, bumabalik ako sa CHEVY para lang sa Change oil at regular checkup. Off course di sya mabilis sa arangkada pero na try ko na 135kpm stable pa rin apat ang sakay up to 135kpm lang kasi di na kaya ng loob ko but sa you tube up to 155kph. 15km/l sa highway, 7- 10 sa city 7 ang sakay na try ko na. At marami na akong nakikitang spin sa cavite, laguna, QC, batangas. drives like sedan na pwedeng mini van. Gusto ko sana Innova pero di kaya ng budget ko ang Automatic but anyway i love Spin very comfortable to drive1.5 gas 6 speed AT

Naisip ko, what if someone opens the passenger door from the inside while the car is moving/parking... isn't that dangerous?
DeleteActually, this is normal. These new European door locks will really open even if you tug it from the inside. It's the same as Ford's for instance.
DeleteEngaging the childproof locks will prevent the rear doors from opening. Is this dangerous for children? Take note... It's good practice for children below 12 to sit in the backseat for safety.
Sir Anonymous plan ko buy the 1.5 gas 6 speed AT, na try muna ba sa akyatan fully loaded? Like Baguio (kennon or Marcos Hi-way)& Tagaytay. Thanks
ReplyDeleteAny idea when po lalabas dito sa atin sa pinas ang Chevy spin activ from indonesia? any idea sa price? below 1M pa rin po kaya sya?

Sir Ulysses, I'm planing to buy LTZ 1.5 AT by next month...kaso nakita ko yung Spin Activ 1.5 AT sa Indonesia, nagdalawang isip tuloy ako hehehehe...hintayin ko na lang lumabas dito sa atin. Gaya po ng tanong ng iba, kailan po kaya lalabas dito ang spin activ sa atin? My friend own this gas 1.5 AT, so far positive naman po feedback nya.
ReplyDeleteTheir service personnel has excellent customer service skills.. My only regret is that you have to wait for several months for the spare parts to arrive. Been waiting since December, til now wala pa rin. Nakakainip na talaga. :(
ReplyDeleteSir Ulysses, I'm planing to buy LTZ 1.5 AT next month...any update regarding on arrival of Spin Activ 1.5 AT in our country, tnxs!
ReplyDeletemay test drive naman ang chevy. Before buying test drive muna. ask all about the car. So far wala pa naman ako naencounter na problem sa spin. Malamig ang aircon, ok ang hatak, stable sa high speed lalo na kung full seating capacity. Meron bang brand na sasakyan na walang isyu? Sa consumption naman safe kana sa 8-9 km/ltr kung city driving. Kung light traffic naman normal stop and go lang safe na safe ka sa 12km/ltr. Sa aircon naman number 1 lang malamig na di ko na binubukas yung sa rear aircon. Sana pag tagal wag magkaproblema. Ang nakikita ko lang problem e maliit ang stock na battery so expect na baka hanggang 1 year or less lang ang buhay nya.
ReplyDeletesir ulysses, ask sana ako nabili ko spin 1.5ltz A/T gas last december..tapos akyat kami ng uphill with 5 passengers and as we go down bigla nag lock ang steering wheel..ano po rason na nag lock ang steering wheel?pls ans my query, dinala ko naman sa service center wla naman daw problema..
ReplyDeleteha? naglock ang steering wheel while downhill? buti di po kayo nadisgrasya? na unlock din po ba sya agad? amazing....
ReplyDeleteAng gamit ko ngayon ay spin 1.5ltz A/T gas. Last month ginamit ko siya from Antipolo Rizal to one of the famous resort in San Fernando La Union. The next day nagamit ko siya from La Union to Baguio. It is loaded with 4 kids and 4 adults at may baggage pa on the roof. So far we safely return back home in Antipolo. Hindi naman siya nagbigay ng problem so far. Sa North Express way na try ko from 110 to 145kph and ok pa rin (stable pa rin).
ReplyDeletesalamat sa feedback sir....im planning also to buy spin 1.5 AT gas. positive naman lahat ng feeback sa lahat ng mga kakilala ko na nakagamit na nito. sana naman magpost po yung iba di2 ng totoo at di po yung parang note na naninira lang po :-)

spin activ....where are u....
ReplyDeleteI bought my spin ltz automatic gasoline last yr and it took me 2 months (march ako nag-pay ng down, i got my unit on may, not to mention i wanted a manual-diesel but andami nilang alibi na hindi available and matatagalan so i got the auto-gas). So sa good sides muna, satisfied naman ako sa unit ko. On weekdays office-haus lang naman travel ko, ni traffic, uphill and downhill na sementado ang way to my office, rough road harap ng haus ko and tiny space ang parking sa bahay but my unit can manage. On weekends i go on a roadtrip here in iloilo and guimaras and na manage naman since konti lng naman rough roads. Most of the time loaded din because i have some merchandise na dala, plus 4 passengers most of the time. When i got my unit, wala man lang nag explain ng things that i'd have to make sure para sulit naman gas consumption and convenience ko while using. And dahil newbie ako, i bumped my car after a few days, and parang ok naman sana ang claim ko with the insurance. I just started to notice na nung may mga questions na ako after several weeks of driving and i was following up my insurance claim na pabaya na ang agent ko. Then when I checked with the bank to pay and also check my insurance claim (bpi auto-loan with insurance), hindi pa na process nung chev ang papers ko so yung claim ko was not processed by bpi pa. So may 2014 ko nakuha ang unit ko and same month ako nagka road accident pero july na na file ng chevrolet iloilo ang loan and insurance claim ko. Medyo tinamad na din ako mag follow up kase andaming alibi and i was also busy, so last week of nov na dumating ang spareparts. I told them i will have my car repaired na lng on dec.19 when i leave the country since i wont be needing it. Nung pinasok na sa servicing ang car, they recorded the km and i remember my gas was 3/4 full. After 3wks ko na binalikan ang car after my vacation, and was so disappointed na paubos na ang gasolina. Their alibi was they took my car from their main office to their service center twice (max 15 km total) so dun daw naubos ang gas ko. When i complained they said at that time they will take note lang daw dahil wala ang supervisor and the supervisor will call me na lng daw. But no one called. Until a friend of mine said contact ko daw ang senior supervisor na nila dun, and when i went there and we investigated, we found out they used my car without my permission. So they promised me that they will have the supervisor from the servicing suspended but til now they did not update me of the status. Then when LTO announced na mag penalty na sa walang plate, i called chev and asked if they followed up LTO already but they had incompetent answers even when i was explaining to them i live far from LTO and it is their job to follow up as that's included in their promo package. But since parang walang kwenta ang sagot nila, ako na lng ang nag follow up considering i live 50km away from the city pa, plus the mahabang pila sa lto. And then just today when ayaw umandar ng car ko (sabi ng office driver namin battery daw) i called chev again, a rude customer service agent will not even assist in asking their servicing unit to contact me dahil walang landline ang office nila doon. I had to call again the senior supervisor who reffered me to another person who said an agent from their "car rescue team" will call me pero hindi naman tumawag. Parang ok naman sana performance ng car ko (i understand pwdeng mag drain agad ang battery, so aside from that wala naman ako naging prob sa unit), but my problem has always been with the incompetent and lazy chevrolet agents here in ILOILO CITY!! And i'm posting this complain here because kahit in a good tone, sarcastic tone, or demanding tone ka pa makipag usap sa mga taga chev dito sa amin, walang ka kwenta-kwenta talaga. Pinag tatakpan lang nila ang isa't-isa. Hay...
ReplyDeletehi wonder. pwede ba malaman anong step ginawa mo nung walang response sa sinsabi nlng tawag sa problem mo s chev?ayaw dn kasi magstart ng unit ko at thrice na akong tumawag today pro ganun dn sabi hintayin nlng daw ang tawag ng road assistance pro d whole day wala talaga.thanks
Deletewe bought also this car Chev Spin in Dec. 2014. after one year ayaw na magstart. dinala namin sa casa on Dec. 21, 2015. pero di malaman ano problema. baka daw ECM. ano di pa sure. kukuha ng part sa Thailand sabi abutin ng one month. part lang one month? wala bang stock. till now Feb. 21, 2016 na nasa casa pa. what a waste of money and time. think twice on buying this car.
DeleteHay naku totoo incompetent mga tao sa Chev. Kahit dito sa Chevy Batangas napakabulok ng servuce pinabalik balik lang ako. At ang tamad magsisagot sa txt at tawag. Naka ilan balik nako un mga tail ligjts at head lights ko na nag moist 5mos bago napalitan at nung mapalitan wala pa 2wks nag momoista na naman. Tinawagan ko taga Chev wala nasagot kahit txt wala nasagot tapos binalik ko sa kanila inayos daw pagkauwi samin mwron na naman. Napakbulok nila as in. Kahit anong unit pa bilhin sasyang bulok ang servuve kaya masisira ang chevroket dahil sa mga tao nila ang bulok gumawa hndi ayuain ang trabaho
DeleteMag honda mobilio na lang ako
ReplyDeleteLapit na tuesday sana marelease na spin ko excited as hell
ReplyDeleteWe got our Spin LTZ gas last Aug. 2014 and so far we are lucky enough that we did not encounter any problems with "Spinido" and we are very satisfied with its performance. Na-drive ko lang cia during my vacation last Dec.-Jan. Sumasabay cia sa mga suv. Matulin din kasi 6 speed cia. Stable sa highway, di matagtag, malamig ang aircon. Inikot namin ang Taal Lake from Sta. Teresita, Batangas to Sto. Tomas (Padre Pio Parish Church), then to Tanauan, Talisay, Laurel, Agoncillo, Lemery, Taal and back to Sta. Teresita. 6 adults umaahon kami past the 2000 rpm mark using auto mode. Matipid cia, nag-register cia once 24km/l sa Startoll, 4 adults naman kami using manual mode. Average fc sa highway nasa 15km/l. Mixed fc nasa 12-13km/l. Regular route namin e from Bacoor, Cavite to Sta. Teresita, Batangas using Startoll or via Aguinaldo to Tagaytay via Payapa road...
ReplyDeleteI am a first time car buyer.... I was considering Toyota Vios AT but wanted a 7 seater so opt for honda mobilio but as per honda alabang it will take time to have new units available and since I am an ofw i needed the car during my vacation sana so could not wait. I found chev spin and the price is ok. Plus 7 seater pa. Pero dami bad reviews sa taas. Totoo ba na mahirap makahanap at mahal ang pyese chev spin? Plano namin use for city driving and out of town sNa

Hi, yung Spin (1.5 LTZ) ko, meron siyang "TOK" sound everytime naka on yung A/C and naka recirculate. Lalo na pag idle yung sasakyan. Sure ako na may kinalaman sa AC kasi pag naka-off wala namang sound, and pag di recirculated. Help. Normal ba to? 1 month palang yung Spin ko.
ReplyDeletechk m s casa bka yng tension belt loose na

ReplyDeleteFor me, okay na okay po yung spin po namin. 1 1/2 na yung spin namin pero wala pang problema na naibibigay, naiakyat na namin ng ilocos norte and last saturday naiakyat naman ng tagaytay at wala kaming naging problema.
ReplyDeletepwede bang mag shift from drive D TO drive M ng di na kailanagan mag full stop before na mag shift to manual?paki clear naman tong tanong ko ,salamat.
ReplyDeletePwede nmn po. I have tried it several times.
Delete3years spin user. ngayon lang nasira ung aircon naming, cooling coil. repair cost is 5.5k sa frigid kamuning. the best repair duon. I don't rely sa casa kasi matagal, ska mahal. ang technique ay kumuha nang piyesa sa casa, then pagawa maintenance sa shell mechanics. overall OK ang spin for me, city drive is 25 to 33km/liter at 1.3 diesel manual. ang saya, kasi lagi kami nasa labas. ang isang fulltank around 50-55liters cost 1.3pesos lang. abot na yun nang mahigit isang buwan samin. at least once a week i check air pressure at 35psi. we travel at least 500km per week. considering the traffic at tengga sa sasakyan kasi pag nagsusundo sa wife ko at mga bata. we travelled ilocos and Cagayan madaming beses na, ska south. from QC to Cagayan I spent 600 pesos on diesel balik fulltank na,. that almost 800km of travel, hataw pa yun my speed hindi bumababa nang 100km/h tapos max ko at least 160km/h medaling araw kasi, kaya niya mag 180 I tried it sa startoll batangas nuon pero hindi ko na inulit kasi hindi naman kailangan magtulin... I often change oil and filters, tapos every month pinapabugahan ko yung air filter and aircon filter sa shell 50 pesos lang plus tip. wala akong masabi sa spin sulit na sulit. swak sa Pilipinas lifestyle nang family na praktikal. I want to try yung trailblazer next or fortuner na bago kasi fullypaid na itong spin ko I went for 3years lang 22k/mo sulit na sulit.
ReplyDeletesaka tip po sa chevy spin diesel user.. wag po kayo mag kakarga sa paiba iba na diesel class at provider. kasi sa experience ko, pag nagkarga ako sa petron, rhen shell, namamalya siya for sometime then after ilang minutes OK na. parang nagbabago yung idling. pero binasa ko sa manula may safe adjustment ung diesel calibration nya kaya siguro ganun. pero less hassle ska safer engine magkarga lang nang low grade diesel fuel sa isang suking gasolinahan nalang. don't go for special diesel class :-)
ReplyDeleteHi i would like share our experience with our Chevolet Spin 2014. For the past 2 years 3x na pinalitan yung compresor and condenser. Normally it will take 3 ton4 weeks na nasa Chervoler Service Center because of the parts na iniintay pa. This morning while driving our car suddenly stopped ib the middle of the road. Praise God it was traffic kaya mabagal lang ang takbo namin. The car power suddenly shut down and it took 15mins na bumalik yung power ng sasakyan. Naiuwi pa namin then nung ioopen na ulit ayaw na ulit magpower on. Kakakuha lang namin ng kotse from the service center last Saturday 2days ago dahil sa nasira yubg aircon hindi lumalamig and now mas lalung nasira dahil bigla nalang namamatay ang makina.If you plan to buy spin please think again.

ReplyDeleteMy sister purchased a chevy spin in October 2014. In May 2015, the aircon broke down. It wasnt cooling anymore. Since then, it has been brought to Chevy for repairs 10x and Chevy has now refused to honor the warranty. It has not offered to repair the vehicle, replace it or refund. We're filing a case now.
ReplyDeleteAnyone here who has filed a case against Chevy or is intending to file a case Chevy for recurring problems with the Spin, please get in touch with me. I will give assistance.
Not filed yet. Going to mine is powerloss issue and ac issue. Pls help. Email me at davikramz@gmail.com
DeleteDon't waste your time buying this car. It has power loss and a/c issue. Beleive me, I have stack of repair orders for 3yrs, imagine how hassle it is. Just recently I decided to return it and file a lawsuit, we ended up on settlement, if this doesn't go smooth and not favorable they must pay millions in dollars with the gravity of the case

ReplyDeleteMy Chevy spin 1.5 LTZ gasoline auto trans, Is now 4 year old. In about a year old, after when I took it from the dealer, I heard abnormal hissing sound.this will happen when you revs up or during auto shifting of gears. I reported it many (4) times already but they cannot really identify the cause of the problem. Their service is very frustrating considering they only have 1 available service center here in cebu and our house is quite far away from their location. I could not imagine how slow and un systematic they were. This car i got had plenty issues not mentioning them all causing me enough stress,so if anybody here a planning to buy on any of their car,you better think it all over again bec Chevy after sales service is terrible. I just expressing my experience from them

ReplyDeleteplease help me urgent,why have spin LTZ 1.5 ( 2015 model) air con problem? i already changed the air con compressor and condenser, air con hose last 2018, April but now again air con not cold, Technician said need to change dryer again. why again and again same problem.?
ReplyDeleteWhere is your location? Is it casa maintain? There's a shop that can check the A/C of your unit. I saw one Spin owner got the A/C of their unit become ok as they posted it on our fb page (CSPC). You can search it anyway.
ReplyDeleteHi good morning po, saan po ba makikita ang temperature gauge the spin ltz 2014?
