Spark 2 LT: the luxury "cheap" Chevy

I think this is a great car: fun to drive, great interior styling, reliable, and a 100% bumper-to-bumper 36,000 mile/36 month warranty, that even includes oil changes and tires. The Spark has generous safety features (ten airbags, a high strength steel passenger compartment safety cage, head of the class technology/connectivity for year and class, very good gas mileage, a solid and nimble road feel, is surprisingly quiet and stable on the freeway, a dream to park and drive in Los Angeles, and is more fun to drive than the Fiat 500 I test drove. A super value that I like even more now after 5 years of ownership. Also finally found a Chevrolet dealer that I like in Glendale, CA. Update: I have now had the car over 6 years and have about 30,000 miles on it. This car has been free of problems. Besides regular maintenance, all I have had to do is replace the battery. It still looks new. I like this car as much as ever. What a value!

Love my new car. It is pretty comfortable for such a little car. I am 5'11 and still have plenty of head room. There is plenty of storage space in the back and I am getting great gas mileage.

If you have ever had to walk any distance because you had no other choice than walking, you will understand the value of the Spark. The Spark fills an important spot in today's transportation needs for economical and environmentally friendly means of getting around where mass transit lets us down. Go Spark!

It didn't SPARK a fire

I rented a 2016 Chevrolet Spark and enjoyed the spaciousness of the small car interior. While driving the car was rear-ended on a highway. Both front seats broke causing the bulk of the injuries. The seat-belts stayed in tact and we were glad to have them. Seat backs broke allowing myself and my passenger to be injured by the seats. Additionally, the seats came apart from the frame. If you choose this car, please choose a bright color to help other drivers to see your little car. If you choose this car, you are trading safety for cost; is that a good trade for you? It was not a good trade for me, even as a rental car. Seats were not available in the rating criteria. The safety section of the rating criteria does not provide for broken seats.

GREAT little car!

I have been looking at the Spark for a few months...and the dealership had a GREAT incentive of $3k off, so I went down to test drive. I was VERY surprised of the roominess of this little car! I am a 6 foot tall woman and my little Ford Escort just wasn't cutting it. Well, the Spark feels like you sit up, almost like an SUV. The ride is GREAT, and I drive 40 minutes 1 way to work every day. This little guy reminds me of my old Omni (back in the day)...but a MUCH BETTER RIDE! I love the mpg. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!!!!!
