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!!!!!

I used to own the 2013 Spark and that one isn't that good mainly because of the weak engine and suspension. The new 2016 model has the 1.4 size engine which is the same reliable engine in my cruze. The only complaint I can say is I wish they made this in a turbo with some tight suspension as I would buy that in a second as I know it would be way zippier and fun. I got the 5 speed model which has crank up windows and no auto door locks which I prefer anyways. Its still a little slow to get going but once on the freeway its pretty responsive. My model was on sale for like 9K which is unbelievable for what you get when you consider the back up camera, bluetooth, apple car play although I have an android. All i can say is this car is underpriced compared to others for what you get. It may even be worth double the price.

The car felt much bigger and smoother. The front seats were vey comfortable for my bad back. I am short, but legroom and headroom was acceptable. The interior was impressive including dash layout, colors, fabric. I did not trade yet because I owe a lot on my Smart Fortwo, but will trade soon. Try this very economical and luxurious Spark. I bet you'll love it.

I wanted a small, efficient car for mostly short trips. The size is perfect for me as a small woman in a congested city. Very easy to park in tight spots. Toasted marshmallow color hides dust very well. Four doors are handy and rear passengers say that it’s spacious enough. Visibility is good and it's great to have a backup camera. Love Apple CarPlay and cruise control is a nice feature as well. The Spark drives like a go kart i.e. kinda fun but rough on bumps. Very notable hesitation on acceleration so no darting across an intersection. Am not getting even close to the MPG on the sticker despite light foot. More like 27 on average but I do not do much highway driving and when I do it is improved to 33-35mpg. My lower back hurt the first time I spent more than 10 minutes driving (granted I'm not a youngster). Bought a back support which has helped. I think the design of the interior is generally very good but the seat material feels a bit cheap. Rear hatch cover has no cord to pull it up and let it down so it's annoying if you forget to push it down. Cargo space has been quite ample with the ability to fold down rear seats. As I near four years of ownership the only mechanical problem has been the failure of the window washer pump which was covered under warranty. Overall I am very happy with the Spark but if I had longer commutes every day I might wish for more comfort and better acceleration. Update: after 5+ years of ownership the Spark has been trouble free. I continue to be happy with my purchase.
