  • 2021 Chevy Spark is a great little budget car. It is as basic as it gets BUT that isn't really a bad thing.

    I waited 6 months for delivery of my 2022 LS with 5 speed. I'm in love with this car. Going to the grocery store feels like I'm driving in a rally. Driven conservatively, I could probably get 40 mpg, but I average about 35. It's a hoot! Oh, and a set of good snows cost me $900 out the door.

    I can deal with everything about this car including the manual crank windows...but what I can not is the manual side view mirrors. Flashbacks of sitting in the passenger seat as a kid and my dad yelling at me "THE OTHER WAY!!!" as he's in trying to adjust his passenger side mirror

      The car is so narrow it’s not a big deal. You can easily reach the passenger side if you need to occasionally adjust it.

Those car review websites are so snooty about power locks and windows and mirrors but I agree with you, I don't see the point of having those on a car this size. Best of all, the advantages of manual controls is its less battery drain AND less stuff to go wrong 😊

      @@resetsetmefree478 I agree. I got the CVT version in 21 and I'm fine with it. Got 17 thousand on it so far and it's going great. The only thing is the mileage claims. I'll belive 38 when I see it. Maybe if you're crawling along at 65 without AC, but that's not possible in Phoenix where I live. I average 29 to 32. Would probably get up to 35 highway if it was winter and I was taking it slow.

    5:05 how are you selling a car and not even research how to lay the back seats flat? They have alot of steps but definitely lay flat. But I do enjoy mine, and with the CVT she holds 140kmph at about 3k RPM no problem on the highway, she won't go over about 182kmph tho, that's well maintained tho where she drives straight hands free at 140.

I'll have another one of those again for sure. But there is nothing wrong with the way these drive.

      That’s exactly why I bought it 6 years ago 😂😂
      For real: it’s been an amazing value. $10.6k OTD and have only done oil changes and replaced tires. That’s it. Incredibly reliable and I don’t see a reason to replace it anytime soon. Even when/if I have a family I can see it still as a 2nd car vs getting rid of it. It’s just too reliable and fun to drive.
      I’ve driven it cross country twice to give perspective of the kind of driving I’ve done on it. Over 60k miles so far.
      The biggest critique is the boot…it’s very small, even for its class. If I’m doing a big Costco run I often need to use the backseat in addition to the trunk. Not a big deal but something to keep in mind if you’re using it as a family car.
      Another thing to keep in mind: it’s rated to carry just 660lb…so if you are on the heavy side I dont recommend it. I once had a friend of mine who weighed 400lb in the passenger seat…and you could see the suspension dip dramatically. Had to drive very carefully to not damage my car as altogether with another adult in the backseat it was about 820lb
      Final caveat: there’s more rear room in the passenger backseat than the driver if you’re tall. I’m 6-2 so I push the driver seat back as far as possible, and the backseat on my side is only useful for either a small adult or child. Passenger side though is roomy enough for a full sized adult even when that front side is fully extended.
      These are very popular in a lot of the 3rd world because of its reliability. So if you’re just looking for good value and fun city car it’s easily the best bargain in NA that doesn’t feel like a penalty box (*coughmirage*)
