I bought this car in February 2016. I've loved it since I bought it. It's a fantastic little daily driver and people think it's adorable. I haven't got a bad thing to say about it. But today it saved my life. I was hit on my driver's side by a large vehicle going quite fast head on. My airbags immediately deployed by my windows which protected my head from smashing through the glass. The backseat ones deployed as well saving the life of my cats that were in a carrier. I walked out of my car with an aching neck and a nasty bruise, that's it. The other driver thought she killed me. That's how safe this car is. And honestly considering how hard she hit me the car looks good. It's totalled but you'd never guess I got hit at 50mph by an SUV. Her vehicle caught fire and the whole front broke off and mine was simply crunched up a bit. Other than the airbags the interior was immaculate post crash. I'm going to miss my car. I hope I can replace with the exact make and model.

The most economical automobile I could find. -- Dealer was very accommodating -- gave me top dollar for my beat-up trade-in and ate the MV fees. Car is easy to maneuver & to park, holds the road well in the rain. Small size helps avoid accidents -- when I swerved to avoid a deer I missed the guard rail by an inch; would have scraped it in a wider car. Rear storage is small, but perfect for grocery bags -- they can't fall over. Cruise control and blue tooth are very convenient features. Front passenger seat is quite comfortable. Rear not so much, but I rarely if ever have more than one passenger. Fuel economy less than advertised, but still decent. MUCH less expensive than competitors Yaris, Fit, Mini & Fiat.

I live in Los Angeles and wanted a car that could zip thru traffic and get into tight parking spaces. This car delivers big time. This is probably the first car I've owned where I actually have fun and look forward to driving. It's also great on gas mileage - I average about 33 in LA and 43 on the highway. The Chevy MyLink is the most advanced touchscreen tech systems I have ever experienced. Handling is swift and agile. I also got an amazing deal on the car.

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.
