Great Little Run-About

I have not traveled long distances in this car so my comments are about a second car. Given these limits, the car is wonderful in every respect. With my wife and I in the vehicle, and the seats folded down, there has not been a time when we have not been able to get all we needed into the car. It parks easily, has enough pickup for me, and handles smoothly. We have had no trouble with the vehicle. We no longer need two vehicles so I am going to sell the car. We will miss it.

The Deep Dive engine is one of the newest, most technologically advanced engine on the planet. The CVT transmission is a Jatco 7, a joint project of Nissan and Mitsubishi. (yes, Nissan and Mitsubishi) I love this little car! Depending on the season, I get between 42 and 46 mpg.

Right... Check out the spark forum. Own a 2015 spark bought brand spanking new with 30 miles on it, tranny has gone out, been in the shop 8 times after I take it back in for tranny issues, no AC, electrical gremlins... Really loved it when the traction control came on, on a clear day on perfect road conditions causing almost a wreck. Really loved it that Chevy tried to charge me to have someone pick up my mom when my tranny went out 4 months into owning this car, because apparently having a passenger in the car and driving more than 12 miles away from home isn't normal. I have a stack of papers of repairs and yet Chevy has done nothing but caused me stress. This last breakdown, dealership had car for 2 weeks, providing no loaner and left me stranded in another state. I can't pay my bills this month because I had a 2 week expense for being stranded and Chevy didn't want to hear about it at all. I've had caseworkers on my case who make appointments but don't keep them, don't call back. Last time I called when I was stranded the lady laughed at me on the phone, and when I demanded for a manager she took her time hoping I would hang up, I didn't hang up and I heard everything she said to the manager and I said ummmm.... Still here

I love the car because of its economy............I bought the most stripped down model with a manual shift....love the tiny size, I am 6' tall and weigh 190 pounds and love the economy. Trade in value was horrible...just out of curiosity...took to toyota...the offered me $5000 to trade for used Toyota fit. Yikes!
