Used 2015 Chevrolet Spark Consumer Reviews
Chevy spark
Someone needs to light a spark under this car. The worst vehicle to drive! Seats are hard as rocks stiff and bolt straight. My friend & I were car sick for two weeks after driving for two days, and our bodies vibrated like we had been driving on large chunks of rocks in a tin can. Road noise is awful and hat to shout at each other just to have a conversation. It felt like we were in a clown car. Apparently it looked like it too,as people were driving by laughing hysterically and pointing at us. Good luck with this hunk of junk. Pure nightmare.

Save yourself the headache
This car is only 4 years old, but has already had to have a new transmission under the warranty, as well as about $4000 in non-warranty work. It broke down on me AGAIN 600 miles from home this past weekend, and i just left it on the side of the road and rented a car to get home. I won't miss it at all. Good riddance.

Complete transmission replacement at 14k miles
I'm a delivery driver, so I'm not exactly gentle on my vehicles, but I have to say that I was very disappointed in the Spark. I bought this vehicle new at year-end in Houston for a decent (in my opinion) price - $12800. I immediately took out the back seatbacks, as I only use it for delivery and carrying one passenger. Even before doing that, there was tons of storage space. In a comical moment at work, I took a delivery that the owner of a Ford F-150 couldn't fit in his bed and cab- HA! The seat is very comfortable - a big plus for someone who sits in it over 8 hours a day. No CD player. Damn. No Bluetooth. Damn. Aux cord works well, though. Here's the rub: acceleration was always finicky, even after the well-communicated recall work on the CVT belt tensioner was completed. On several occasions, I would be left dangerously exposed when crossing traffic because the vehicle would not accelerate until a second or two after I had floored it. Last week, it died when I shifted into reverse, then exhibited a strong shudder when accelerating (similar in feel to a new driver learning to drive stick). I took it in, and they are currently replacing the entire transmission. I purchased this vehicle hoping to get 125k miles out of it over the next five years, but now I'm not so sure. Luckily, it is still under the bumper-to-bumper warranty, so I don't have to pay a dime, but that's the tradeoff for it depreciating over $4k in one year. I made the decision to purchase this vehicle instead of a Honda Fit or Toyota Yaris because of the price point, but in this case it seems I got what I paid for.

turbo ready
I have a new 2015 spark. if I can I am going to install a new intake system like a k &n and see if I can fit a scat cat exhaust system under it. I think I could get 100 hp out of it.
