@@mswms7181 Little cars like this are great for singles or even couples. I owned a 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage for 4yrs, which is similar in size. It was the perfect size car for me alone with no kids. Hatchbacks are so versatile with the seat folded down. It's amazing how much they can carry.
Bought one for my wife. Looking at it I was doubtful. After she test drove it she loved it. Then I drove it around, love it! Long story short it's a solid car. Plenty of zip on flat roads and steep hills. I would buy another one anyday.
I live in the mountains of north Georgia, and my spark is the funnest thing ever to hit the passes. We run that thing HARD and it never even struggles. 10/10 best little car money can buy
With car prices, gas price up the roof, not enough public charging stations, etc, these cars should make a big comeback to the US market. I'll definitely get one of these as long as the price stays below $15K
I have a 2015, and I love it!! I haven't had any major problems with yet. It is "VERRRRRY GOOD ON GAS!!" I had a 2013 Chevy Malibu some years back, it didn't give me any problems either!! I'm thinking about purchasing an Chevy truck/Trax next.
I'm renting this car right now. besides the shape and size being too small for a 6’2 guy like me, the mpg is great. I believe the tank size is 9 gallons so around 270-300 miles. Overall a great commuter.
bought one for my daughter to go to college with couldn't find a used car for the price of a new spark not with the bumper to bumper warranty plus the onstar system gives ol dad here piece of mind 😊 she loves it
i love mine, manual 5 speed. pretty silent car, it gets that 4cyl growl after 3500 rpms but other than that its a very silent, fuel friendly and incredibly reliable for getting around, the car is pretty much for me, i dont get passengers in it and for a single man's shopping list the boot its very well sized
@@justcurious1146 wow i am ultra late, but i wouldn't be able to tell, i don't live in USA, i'm your south of the border neighbor, we don't get snow here so we ride in regular tires all seasons, little update: car still fine and fresh like it rolled out the dealership, i take care of it well. the only thing i've started to hate on it is the hard suspension, going over bit small bumps can be a bit uncomfortable but on a relatively flat road it glides like butter.
I have the (same model) Holden Spark in Australia. We bought it new in 2017 and have had no problems at all in it. Quite a sporty little car, handles well. Only downsides are that it aint that great on the highway compared to a larger car, boot and rear leg room is very small and the rear parcel tray has to be put up and down manually. To fold down the rear seats, you have to pull the bottom seat cushon forward which is weird, so I very rarely fold the seats down (also don't fold flat). A very reliable car though, no problems at all!
It's a great car if you live in Los Angeles or New York City where street parking is tight and most of your commute is driving on gridlocked urban streets.
Woah seriously i didn't expected that much improvement! currently driving m400 and that poorly made cvt setting made me never wanna drive with cvt again, but I can already feel so much improvement on cvt side from this video. I might going to tune my m400 cvt tho, thanks a lot!
This car definitely intrigues me, cheap price, great on gas, air conditioned, Bluetooth for my phone, it’s not a family drive/trip car but we don’t go anywhere with the Rona anyway, the groceries will fit and it’ll get me to work and back home, if I don’t get monster truck crushed in an accident god forbid by pretty much every other car on the road. That’s my only concern with it.
Im buying one of these and I was worried about not fitting until he said he was 6'3 lol. Im 5'3 so I dont think space will be an issue. Im also used to driving a smartcar since that was my last. Im so excited for my new car tho, just a few more weeks!!
actually the back is pretty spacious ! the seats are back all the way ! for reference im 5’7 and when my friend sits the way his seat is suppose to be , i have a lot of leg room actually!
I love how americans are amazed by 40miles a gallon, while my Renault Talisman (a car comparable in size to a BMW 3 series) achieves on average 67,8mpg on the German Autobahn. But i still enjoyed your video. Such a shame that the chevy spark (in europe formerly marketed as sonic) is not getting offered anymore in europe!
Even though im canadian, we’re used to larger vehicles most of the time so 40 mpg is amazing when coming from a truck or large suv. Also MPG differs because US and euro gallons do.. 67 euro MPG is about 56 us MPG
I have a 2018 ls model 5 speed paid 10200 out the door for and three years later it still blue books for that lol I've seen some run up to 21k new and I can tell you it's not worth 21k by no means ..I'll give the little car good ratings ..I use it for a work car and it takes a beating while the big 4x4 stays parked!!!
Good review, im 5'9" and its good. And I got one but I wish I had cvt instead of 5 speed. Cvt is smooth and beautiful for road trip. 55 bucks in gas to south carolina.
Chevey spark ? Ticks all the boxes for me, ideàl for a urban and round town car economical, nice looking vehicles easy to park good m.p.g. overall as good as anything else in it's class and size?
I bought a 2019 chevy spark brand new, it now has 147,000 miles it. The transmission slips now and then on 1st to 2nd gear. It started doing that at like 80,000 miles on it. It also had several oil leaks at 143,000 miles. The cost to fix the leaks (gaskets and re seal) was $2,000. I didn't want to get rid of it bc it's such a good car. Anyways I paid 15k for it in 2019. The other thing that broke was the coolant reservoir connection to the hose. I had to get a new reservoir. I put a lot of miles on the car and I ve always kept up with the oil changes every 6k miles. (Book says every 7k). I'm actually thinking of getting another one. The gas savings are incredible!!!
I had a 2019 exactly the same as this one. I kinda miss it for the color. I ended up with a lemon, even though GM refused to buy it back. Traded on a Trax and unfortunately didn't get a flashy color like my Spark had.
Driving a Chevy Spark feels almost driving a golf cart made to be driven on the road. I rented one when I flew to Newark, NJ heading to New York city. This is a city car in my opinion. If someone wanted a little more power with a hatchback setup, rent a Kia Rio crossover, it has more power, and fuel economy is similar.
I have one. A 2013. Use it for 2nd car /local traffic/errands only - I love your analogy about it be one step above above a golf cart. (In my opinion your analogy is true). Gas mileage is awesomely great! I do not like this car for a lot of interstate / toll road / expressway driving.
I got this exact car and color, was my first new car...put 13k on it so far. The power to weight makes it formidable in Houston but 3 hard breaths or talking fogs up the windshield and its impossible to wipe off. So I have to be a tyrant and forbid laughter. I got this color because my only other option was Marshmallow. ITS NOT FUNNY, LAUGH AND WE ALL DIE!
In my spark there wasnt much engine noise but the road noise when cruising at 80 was pretty loud. Once uou get over that it's a really cool and fun car.
I rented one of these on a trip to Michigan, and these cars get so bullied on the road it's not even funny. If you get one, prepare to have big pickup trucks and SUV's run you off the road, cut you off, and even push you into oncoming traffic frequently.
I'd either go with a Spark or Sonic. Have to decide, though. I'd go with top of the line with both, sunroof included. I was originally thinking of a Mitsu Mirage, but I'm always leery with it. Peace!!! BTW: I subscribed
I was in the same position as you are a few months back; deciding between a Spark or Mirage. I went with the Mirage for the better MPG. If you have questions, I could probably answer them.
Go with the spark. Ive had a spark and now a sonic and the sonic has quite a few predetermined fail points(the sonic and cruze are essentially money pits) if you do prefer the sonic tho go with the 1.8L instead of 1.4 turbo.
I'm trying to decide between a nissan versa vs. chevy spark for my first car but I can't decide. Spark seems to be more reliable when it comes to cvt but versa could be better for expressway driving
Get a certified pre owned car with less than 40k hopefully with an extended warranty, I’d also try to stay away from GM cars considering you’re young and on a budget, you don’t want to be stuck with this car let’s say you buy it brand new for 18k 3 years 35k later that cvt transmission goes the dealer wants to charge you 3k for a new tranny or offer you 2 k for your car, definitely buy a slightly used Honda,Hyundai, or Toyota
@@tyler7937 I’m gonna be completely honest I can get a brand new spark for cheaper than most used cars - considering I want a car under 100k miles and not too old or damaged.
@@tyler7937 unfortunately its just not in the budget for me out of all the cars in my area the Chevy spark is the best compromise and trust me when I say I’ve tried :/
A guy on UA-cam floored his Mitsubishi Mirage equipped with a CVT from 0 to 60 and it sounded real bad. Engine was close to redline and the engine noise was too loud. GM does a lot better job of insulating the powertrain noise from the driver and passengers. I wonder how reliable the CVT are compared to a traditional automatic transmission.
@@NothinButCarReviews wow on the canadian website the spark with the manual transmission starts at $10,198 and automatic for $14,498 vs $14,395 for the manual and $15,495 for the automatic transmission in the us
I'm thinking about getting one, since they are new cars that are actually cheap. I'm curious with what it's like in the car. For comparison, how tall are you?
Decent car but the mpg isn't that great if you ask me. I've been averaging pretty good in my altima with snow tires on over 38mpg as my average. This better get me 50 mpg average if I'm driving something this small.
Yea I get 40+ in my 14 Elantra this car doesn’t seem to fit me, I’m leaning more towards the new Elantra and corrola, they have the sparks I think LTs for 12k brand new end of the year deal is why I’m here, they want 21 for corrola and 19 for the Elantra I think the extra $100 a month is worth it for the Elantra, I’ve had mine since late 14 and at 100k now not 1 single problem except the key messing with electronics of the car which I figured out myself, no small problems nothing, when I was in the military I drove it from to So. California to Maryland and back no problems no overheat, a.c perfect, average 45+mpg on that trip
@@tyler7937 I didn't put anything new into my car besides brakes and rotors until I hit 250k in my altima. I now have almost 330k and as of right now with my snow tires on im getting over 38mpg on average for the last few tanks atm. I visit my friend on a 100 plus mile trip in jersey and I usually get 45mpg going there also. Usually 43 overall there n back or higher.
@@occckid123 Yea man I might just keep my car, I just started shopping since I’m due for tires, I just paid off my loan, and my income has increased immensely since my last loan, and am planning on my buying my first new car. I still might keep the Elantra I just have a bare model with nothing outside of cruise and power windows, and considering I travel about an hr to work I want something a little more reliable and something with apple car play and Bluetooth. Your car sounds like it’s held up, what year is it, I got my maxima at an auction, that’s probably why it was such a lemon
@@tyler7937 2016 but I got end of the year deal and got the car new in March of 2017. Im going 2 check out a 19 altima 2.5SL on Saturday. Its used with cpo warranty for 17.9k before for a silver 1 with and a storm blue (very dark) 2.5SL for 18.3k with 30k miles. The silver 1 has 44k. I can drive 44k miles in 5 months lol.
I see plenty of them with California plates here in Tennessee, so I'm going to say they can do road trips well. As for hills, you'll have to work the engine, but they're built for everyday driving. :)
How did you get your Spark to pulse the strips of lights under the headlights? I just bought a 2020 Spark LT and mine don't do that, nor can I find any setting to make them do that. They just stay fully on. Is it a modification?
Kksnfdfans Olkasfkem When you record anything with LEDs that’s what it does it’s not a mod. I thought the same thing many years ago but its the way that it’s being recorded.

I'm thinking about getting one, since they are new cars that are actually cheap. I'm curious with what it's like in the car. For comparison, how tall are you?
I’m 6 foot 3. Pretty good room for being a sub-compact hatchback.
I’m 16 and this car fits my budget and do you think this is a good starter car for me ?
Little sluggish, but good cheap transportation in my opinion.
Same my unit high en block color

Decent car but the mpg isn't that great if you ask me. I've been averaging pretty good in my altima with snow tires on over 38mpg as my average. This better get me 50 mpg average if I'm driving something this small.
Yea I get 40+ in my 14 Elantra this car doesn’t seem to fit me, I’m leaning more towards the new Elantra and corrola, they have the sparks I think LTs for 12k brand new end of the year deal is why I’m here, they want 21 for corrola and 19 for the Elantra I think the extra $100 a month is worth it for the Elantra, I’ve had mine since late 14 and at 100k now not 1 single problem except the key messing with electronics of the car which I figured out myself, no small problems nothing, when I was in the military I drove it from to So. California to Maryland and back no problems no overheat, a.c perfect, average 45+mpg on that trip
I don’t like Nissan maybe I just had a bad berry who knows...
@@tyler7937 I didn't put anything new into my car besides brakes and rotors until I hit 250k in my altima. I now have almost 330k and as of right now with my snow tires on im getting over 38mpg on average for the last few tanks atm. I visit my friend on a 100 plus mile trip in jersey and I usually get 45mpg going there also. Usually 43 overall there n back or higher.
@@occckid123 Yea man I might just keep my car, I just started shopping since I’m due for tires, I just paid off my loan, and my income has increased immensely since my last loan, and am planning on my buying my first new car. I still might keep the Elantra I just have a bare model with nothing outside of cruise and power windows, and considering I travel about an hr to work I want something a little more reliable and something with apple car play and Bluetooth. Your car sounds like it’s held up, what year is it, I got my maxima at an auction, that’s probably why it was such a lemon
@@tyler7937 2016 but I got end of the year deal and got the car new in March of 2017. Im going 2 check out a 19 altima 2.5SL on Saturday. Its used with cpo warranty for 17.9k before for a silver 1 with and a storm blue (very dark) 2.5SL for 18.3k with 30k miles. The silver 1 has 44k. I can drive 44k miles in 5 months lol.
Could you do the Kia Soul? ❤️
The Afro Math When I get one in! 😊
this car has the same 0-60 time, if not faster, than my '83 eldorado..
Is this car good for road trips? Does it take hills well?
I see plenty of them with California plates here in Tennessee, so I'm going to say they can do road trips well. As for hills, you'll have to work the engine, but they're built for everyday driving. :)
Nice car!! I wonder why it isn't sold in Japan. K-cars can be replaced that car I think.
How tall are you? Can a 6'2" person fit comfortably? You don't look all that comfortable
I’m gonna say no...I was okay though and I’m 6’3”. Definitely wouldn’t buy one though, it’s just too small for me.z
How did you get your Spark to pulse the strips of lights under the headlights? I just bought a 2020 Spark LT and mine don't do that, nor can I find any setting to make them do that. They just stay fully on. Is it a modification?
Kksnfdfans Olkasfkem When you record anything with LEDs that’s what it does it’s not a mod. I thought the same thing many years ago but its the way that it’s being recorded.
^ 👍🏾
@@lilianacamacho7051 Thanks! I'm now sad that I can't make mine pulse though lol
Make a top speed run if you can
I would, but I got too many warrants out, you know how it is
Hi, what older years are good to buy if any? Ty
Pretty much all of them if you can find one cheap enough. Just cheap transportation that gets great gas mileage.
