Used 2018 Chevrolet Spark Consumer Reviews
A bright yellow Sparky
The front seats are comfortable and adequate. The back seat is small, but we had a 6'5" friend in the back who said it was fine. The cargo space is adequate for a tiny car, but it is awkward to get the back seats folded down. We have the base model, so I cannot comment on the various power and safety features that would come with the upgraded versions. It is easy and fun to drive. The engine is great and gives the car plenty of oomph. The steering is very good and solid. Very pleased so far (365 miles).

Solid.. reliable
After totaling my 2012 Sonic, by crashing into a concrete wall. I walked out of that car without a scratch. I decided to buy the spark, which I feel is equally as solid; and feel very safe driving it. The only criticism I have is that the tires that came with the car were terrible. once I replace them the car was fantastic. Good snow tires turn that little monster into a tank. I live in Buffalo, New York and got around town with no problem.

Great value!!++
The 2017 Chevy Daewoo Spark has been with me since Oct 2016 with 56K on the clock. A LS manual base model in bright RED! It is very agile on the street and has good acceleration with the 5 spd. Keep the revs up and it will reward with very decent acceleration and it's fun!. I have driven it commuting with great gas mileage (4.5L/100 km) and combined even at highway and slightly above sustained speeds 6L/100km no problems. Been a great car only oil changes from dealership and 1 after..now due for it's 2nd oil change after dealership freebies. It's not a true 4 seater..but what sub compact is? It does have decent style, a wonderful infotainment system and can park anywhere and with back up camera can get into tight spaces easy peasy. TPMS and bluetooth..in a car with a sticker price of 9999 you can't beat it. Get the manual and you also have a theft device built in LOL...and more fun...I'd buy one again and thought about a new one with AC and Power Windows...but I want a manual LT which is hard to find :( Get one you won't regret it!!!
Small and reliable
I've had my Spark for 4 years, and it has treated me well. Mine doesn't have cruise control, which is the one thing I'd change if I could. Gas mileage has been around 32, 33 mpg. I've put more than 100,000 miles on it in those years, and yet it runs like a track star!

Brimstone
I named my little Brimstone car Yoshi. Yoshi is a really nice little car, when I bought him I was just needing something with A/C. But I got a lot more with my little Spark! It has a lot of features for being an entry level car, like Standard Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. And it also has an impressive Stereo system! Yoshi is VERY slow, and pretty average to drive, but MPG's are killer (especially since you have the MPG monitor next to the speedo, you can know where your cars sweet spot is). My fiance drives a 2012 Scion iQ and its much quicker, and a lot more fun to drive. But nonetheless Yoshi is a great little car. In the 2 weeks I owned him, I've put 300 miles on him.

dangerous on the road
My brother bought my mom a brand new Spark. He thought she is old and needs security, well that is not what she has. This car keeps turning off on her on the highway, on the roads just any place. She has taken the car to the dealer and the dealer does not seem to find out the problem and gives it right back. I do not recomend rhis car at all.

Worst car ever made
I bought my 2017 Chevy Spark in October 2016 and for the first month it was ok. Now it horrible my car has transmission issues, suspension issues, constant squeaking from the emergency break and Chevy says there is not a permanent solution. I would not wish this car on my worst enemy I’m always at the mechanic

Loves the Dealership
So I bought this car back in October of 2016 and have had constant issues with the car it started out with how the pain easily chips the dealership failed to fix it and had me buy touch up paint even though I know it’s a defect since the paint will come off right down to the metal of the car. Next was the car breaking on its own when slightly pressing on the breaks gm says they can’t replicate the issue so still not fixed to this day. Next is the very dangerous lack of power when going from a stop or Red light the car slowly lurches forward and will take a long time to get up to the speed limit dealership told me that’s the way it’s supposed to be and if I don’t like it get a new car after taking it to them 4 times was told to never come back to the dealership. Last but not least the suspension squeaks bad already taken it in multiple times for attempts to fix at least they finally could replicate something lol so they ended up after the 3rd trip for this issue they replaced the front suspension because it was rubbing up against the frame of the car so the front now don’t squeak but now the rear suspension is squeaking so back to the dealership again. This car sucks I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody unless you like to take your car to the dealership frequently. I feel like I bought a hunk of junk off craigslist something is always wrong with the car. Actually I have bought used cars off craigslist with 200,000+ miles with less problems than this car. Just goes to show that gm will sell you this car and do little to help you fix it. Contacted them multiple times for all these issues and they basically do nothing for you to help they leave you with your car problems and expect you to just live with them it’s not fair if I buy a new car I expect not to be at the dealership every month fixing something it should just be regular maintenance but nope not with this car. If you have this car and have had similar problems please leave a review so gm can see that us spark owners are not happy with this vehicle.
