Used 2016 Chevrolet Spark Consumer Reviews

My Spark made car buying easy

I love this car. I love the feel of the drive. Some may consider it bumpy like my dad, but I'm used to a short wheel base and feeling the road. I love all the controls that help take care of the car, like when to change the oil! I bought my Spark for $6k so I was expecting the mechanic to tell me not to buy it but he said all it needed was a year windshield wiper(my car dealer gave me one), I love seeing when I'm getting 99mpg, mostly going downhill of course but still. It did take time to get used to new blind spots but I think I've adjusted to mirrors accordingly. I am looking forward to getting to know this car better unlike other cars I've had. I am getting used to Bluetooth. That's an odd one for this grandma.

Good value

Great car terrible suspension.

I have owned my 2016 spark since August 2016 and love how fast it gets up and goes. The down side is I have had most of my front suspension changed sway bar link, control arm, strut and inner tie rod. I still have a clunk in the front end so they have ordered the sway bar with the bushing to see if that is the issue. But the dealership is easy to deal with but HIGHLY recommend the extended warranty because most parts are dealer only and it is pricey. The rear washer nozzle leaks and they said that is just how it should be they have changed the motor and many nozzles. The interior is roomy for what it is I have passengers in my back seat all the time and they never complain they have no leg room. They are surprised every time that they have so much room. The radio has stopped working on me once but that is the only time I have had an issue with it and no issues since. I have 92k kms on my car the gas mileage isn't as good as it should be it averages since I bought the car at 35 miles per gallon. When it gets really cold my car doors do not unlock or when you open the door it will not close until you pull the other handle and it releases. If you can handle small corks it really is not a terrible car just annoying to fix because they are not popular so most parts need to be ordered in and it can take a while for them depending on which factory/ warehouse they order it from. But handles great it is a winter tank car is on the heavy side so it goes through almost everything. Also had an issue with starting my car. Started my car one day in January and the check engine light was on and it was running rough so i gave it a shot of gas to see if hat help and then it started flashing so I shut it off right away then started it back up after about a minute and it was fine. Brought it to the dealership after that and they couldn't find anything then about a month later I was leaving work and it wouldn't start it finally gave me the information whatever number and I looked it up and it was low engine power. So it was a lot of calling the service adviser I deal with and seeing what he knew about it. Left the call alone for 30 minutes when back and it started fine so I brought the car to the dealership and they flashed the pcm and I have not had any issues since.

Great little car

I'm a fairly big guy 6' 0" 240 lb. good leg, hip, shoulder and head room. car runs great, handles very well. Some may say it's a little choppy ride but I disagree, For a car of this size I would call it a firm plush ride, Can't believe people complain about this little car being sluggish, I find it more than capable when acceleration is called for. Would buy this car again in a heart beat, would choose the LT instead of the LS, miss that cruise control.

Only thing good about this car is the Fuel Economy

Do not buy a chevy spark. The issues are going to cost you more than the car is worth and chevy will do nothing for you. First time car buyer, never will buy a chevy anything again!!
