So I made the leap about 1.5 months ago to all electric. It was an impulse buy honestly. But I have not come to regret it. At first, I thought my love for this car was because of its newness. But I've discovered that this is no honeymoon period. I truly love this car and I am excited to drive it every time I hop in it. As a matter of fact, I have to bring it in to the dealer due to pre-existing damage when I bought it and I am having serious separation anxiety ready. LOL It is so much FUN to drive. It's acceleration is phenomenal and the handling with it. For urban and short range missions, it is perfect. I recommend it to anyone.

I love this car. Due to my heavy-foot style of driving this zippy little city rocket, I am on my 4th set of front tires. This car is very quick and fun to drive. It is a small car and can feel smaller when jockeying for position against huge 4X4’s and tank-like SUVs. I feel this car is special... it is the first year for the Spark EV and the only year with 400ft lb of torque. Collectible...maybe. I don’t plan on getting rid of mine anytime soon.

Almost leased one of these back in 16 but ended up with a Volt instead. When we downsized our SUV for better gas mileage, we went with the Spark as cost was about half the buyout on the Volt. Loving it. Solidly built, all the features I would want, including remote start and heated seats. And fun to drive? Whoopee! Think of it as the offspring of a union between a Tesla and a go-kart. When the light goes green, the driver of the BMW beside me wonders "What the heck is that litfle thing" as he shrinks in my mirror.

Excellent commuter car upto 40 miles oneway

I'm using this for 2 weeks now, to commute 20.13 miles each way. After driving 30 miles on freeway at 65-70 mph and then another 10 miles on expressways and 35-40 mph roads, I'm left with nearly 60 miles of range! The range is way better than the 82 miles they show. I'm only charging at my work, as it is free and more convenient. The car is updated with technology (as almost all new sub compacts are now-a-days), and comes with some leather + cloth combo seats. Includes tilt, cruise, on-star , hands free calling, and other amenities seen only in premium cars few years back. It is a pity GM doesn't advertize this car at all. Bought this after seriously considering Leaf and Volt.
Am now a SPARK EV4EVR owner!

I've now owned this auto for 2 months and continue to be amazed by its quick, off the line acceleration. At a rated 325 pound feet of torque it gets up and goes at any speed. Getting on freeways and the ability to pass others is never an issue...the power is there, always. With such a low center of gravity the car handles extremely well, corners flat at sensible speed and has a solid, sure feeling. Not to light or overly heavy but has a positive feel, tracks well. The seats are supportive but I'd prefer more side bolstering with an added lumbar support, but for the short trips around town to work and back, these seats are fine. The leather wrapped steering wheel is a nice feature, slightly thicker and has more grip than the LT1 which has a thinner, rubber feel. A heated steering wheel, like in my wife's Volt, would be a welcome addition. The heated seats in front, though only with 1 setting, takes the chill off one's posterior and uses less electricity than the cars heater, which takes awhile to get warm, but once its blowing heat , works well. The A/C works great also. The Bose radio has the usual AM, FM, Bluetooth, Sirius XM features and sounds quite well for my musical tastes and can be cranked quite loud without distortion. Visibility is adequate, forward and to the side are great, its the rearward glances that can cause a concern. Blind spot monitors would help with this issue. I'm 5'10". Plenty of leg room front and back. I always set the driver seat for myself then get in the rear seat and there's enough room to be comfortable. The car is quiet, solid feeling and sure footed. It goes where it's pointed. The rear seats fold down 50/50 style and though they don't fold completely flat there's enough room for some bulky items. I recently loaded in a 3 drawer night stand with ease with many other items. I'll have to fold down 1 seat-back for my golf clubs in a few months, no problem. This is an all electric vehicle. I bought this after my lease was up on a 2015 BMW i3 Rex. The Spark is just as quick and though it doesn't have all the electronic wizardry of the i3 I found I rarely used many of the items available. I charge it twice a week, sometimes more depending on driving needs, on our Siemens L2 charger. We have a reduced electric fee schedule that is only 6 cents a Kw from 11pm -5am so it's very inexpensive to drive. Chevrolet lists this car at 84 miles per charge, it has never been below that and is usually 88-92. With great regenerative braking I've gotten up to 117 miles on a level road averaging about 40 mph. I truly love not buying gas. This car fills my needs and is truly a pleasure to drive, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an urban vehicle that is quick and handles great with enough creature comforts to get to your next destination, all the while passing every gas station!
