Great little car for the right driver (extra tall or large people might have difficulty)

Great mileage!!! Standard transmission is a plus. I can’t rate automatic transmission as all I drive are stick shift cars. Simple to maintain. Front wheel drive is good, but 4-wheel/all-wheel drive would be better. Not a lot of zero to 60 horsepower, but it can do 80mph on highway to pass wherever necessary. Unsustainable at speeds above 65mph.

3 is for Cuteness....

It's very basic. Has trouble with acceleration and revving until it shifts or you take your foot 9ff the gas then it will rev down and even out. Specs say features it doesn't have. Not even gauges that usually are included like temperature, oil pressure, battery etc.

Happy Spark Owner

I live in rural mountainous upstate New York in pick-up truck country. I often get comments from people who incorrectly assume this isn't "enough" of a car for this climate and for back roads. Put real snow tires on it. Gas pricing hurt? My car bought used and owned 5 years now consistently gets 38.3 mpg. No trunk space--UPS or FedEx. Deer and pothole damage are my only vehicle challenges.

Great car! Too bad Chevy is ending the line :(

My 2013 Chevy Spark is a champ! I bought it used, so I do not know it's full history. You could call it an adoption. I have given it regular oil changes since I bought it. I bought it a new set of tires. Next on the list is checking the brakes and any break repair and replacing the belts. My Spark, better known as Sparky (though not, by any means, original), gives me 31.7 miles per gallon. I love Sparky and hope to long meet my cheerful little car's needs as it meets and exceeds all of mine!

I LOVE MY RIDE!!!

I feel bad making exhaust so Marvin the Martian, as I call my lime green Chevy Spark, helps a lot. When I bought this car, in 2013, fresh off the lot, it got 38 MPG and after 8 years and 140K miles, it stills gets 35+ MPG. I can fit a lot more into this car than it looks like. It carries 4 people comfortably and 5 people if it's an emergency road trip! It's been hit several times on the freeway by hit and run show off drivers and it's been through some scary floods, but it's still running. I can play my own music via flash drive and it sound great. The only things that would improve it would a bigger armrest and a hardtop convertible!

2013 Spark

Have had my 2013 Spark 6 years, and only had a couple of tire replacements, a coolant tank replacement and a new battery. It has been a great little car, but small so for me as one person, it has been a dream to drive.The cons are that it is light and does not take to the road well when it is very windy. Also, it is not the best winter driving car. There is a blind spot so it is hard to back out. I got the cheaper model so I am sure there are upgrades that people could get. Best part is great gas mileage. These cars do fantastic on long distant driving gas wise.

I love it

Love my Lil car I get alot of comments because I have it decked out in minions. It is good on gas. The replacement parts are cheap. It's a great starter car for a small family. I wish it was a 6 cylinder though

Always something going wrong

Ive never had the issues with any other car the way I do with my spark. Its always something breaking or needing to be fixed. Not enough leg room in the back seat unless people in front move there seats up to be uncomfortable

Great little car, with the emphasis on the pros and cons of the size.

The biggest pro of this car is it's size and how well it runs on gas, and that part is awesome. It seats 4 people and does have 4 doors and a hatch. On longer trips I've had the MPG at 40+ and just around my area it's always in the 30's - usually around 33. You can get a lot more in it than you'd think and it's excellent to park. The biggest con is also the size of the car - it's small enough that on the highway it disappears into the blind spot of a lot of vehicles - this has led to me avoiding being hit as someone merge into my lane, who presumably cannot see me. I would recommend this car to anyone who is a confident driver because you need to be confident when driving a compact car because other drivers don't see you as easily for some reason. Issues I have had with this car: no major issues at all and I've owned it for over 4 years now. The only issue I had was that the tire warning light would come on to warn of tire issues but it was a bogus warning as the tires were fine. They tried replacing tire sensors etc, none of that seemed to work as it kept happening, then I decided I couldn't afford the On-Star price anymore and canceled that and it's never happened since - coincidence? Not sure whether that was causing it but it's NEVER happened since except when I really did have a flat. Worst thing about this car? It doesn't come with a spare of ANY kind, so if you're buying one make sure you ask that question!

Amazing little vehicle

Reliable little car. Lots of leg and headroom. Short on trunk space but large inside. I love the architectural design of the vehicle. I get tons of compliments on it. Easy on gas, easy to drive, easy to maintain. Love it!!!!

A great car, but with some annoying issues.

I have had this car for 3 years now and it's a very good small car for the money, but the one I got is basic. Just has a radio, no Bluetooth in the radio. I am really short, so the car being compact doesn't affect me, but I've have taller people in it and it's no problem for them. I think if you put 4 average sized adults in it, you'd really feel cramped, but we never have that many people in the car. We've taken it on really long road trips too with 2 adults and a child and it's gotten 46+ MPG on the highway, which is awesome and more than it even states. Locally it gets 35+ for me on very small trips, so fuel economy is good. It's been pretty reliable except it had a weird fault where it would say that the tire pressure was low, but when I checked all tires were great and using the APP through On-Star it would say two of my tires were on ZERO psi which isn't possible obviously. They kept changing the sensors, nothing worked and finally I canceled the On-Star to save some money and it hasn't done it since, so you tell me if that was connected because I really don't know. I don't rate the On-Star particularly, it's expensive for what you get - I changed to AAA instead for a lot less. Also, the price they charge for phone minutes is ludicrously high, so I stopped using that too, plus the minutes expire if you don't use them within a year. My biggest issue with the car is its size because when driving on a highway OR anywhere there are big trucks, people often just don't seem to see me, or I'm small enough to be in their blind spot. If you're not a defensive driver, definitely buy a bigger car!

Spark - love it!

Reliable, spunky, stylish, sort of architectural looking car. Plenty of get up and go. Great head and leg room. Short of trunk space but can lay the seats forward if I need to carry more groceries. Love my Sparky!

I love my Chevy Spark!

I needed a small car and decided the Chevy Spark was the car for me. It is a really pretty pink and I have decided that the majority of the cars in the area are too blah...silver, white, black. The car runs great, but the ride isn't as smooth as my Honda Accord was, the suspension is a little tighter and I feel the bumps in the road more. The gas mileage is great which I expected. This smaller car can turn on a dime and fit into places that my Honda Accord couldn't accomodate. The engine is quiet, but the road noise in the car is loud enough to interfere with hearing my radio when I have it on. I was told that I had a cruise control when I purchased my "used" Chevy Spark from a Honda dealership, but when I took the car into the Chevy dealership to have the a/c repaired, the repairman told me there wasn't a cruise control. I enjoy driving my Chevy Spark and I would purchase it again if I had it to do all over again.
