2017 Chevrolet Spark Unboxing - Why Would Anyone Buy One?

- Опубліковано 19 жов 2024
- For today's unboxing review we bring you the 2017 Chevrolet Spark. But we didn't review the top-of-the-line Spark that costs over $18,000. Instead, we went for the bare bones base model. Heck, it doesn't even come with power door locks, windows, or side mirrors. Its only optional feature? A CVT gearbox in place of the standard five-speed manual. Our advice: stick to the manual and save a few bucks. The Spark is classified as a city car, slotted below the Sonic in Chevrolet's current lineup.
Redesigned for 2016, the Spark is powered by a 1.4-liter inline-four with a whopping 98 hp and 94 lb-ft of torque. Zero to 60 mph? 10.8 seconds, which is another way of saying 'eventually.' What did impress us about the Spark is that came with some nice 21st century connectivity features, such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility plus 4G LTE Wi-Fi. But that's about where the compliments end. Our special guest host also has a few things to say about Chevy's city car. Enjoy the review!

Thanks :/ I love my 2017 Chevrolet Spark;) it's sexy plus In mint green. Stop making the car look bad. I am 20 and I drive this cutie.
Don't let these "dipstick dorks" tell you about this car, when they haven't even driven it (duh)...I own the exact make/model but, 2016...it's actually really "zippy" & has fooled alot of others who were as arrogant as these two seem to be. I bought it cause it was the only thing I could buy on my lame (sorry arrogant guys) budget & after driving it 6 months, I'm glad I got it (it's actually made in South Korea by Daewoo "owned" by Chevy)
Looks like we found the Spark owner who lives in his grandmother's basement.
CarBuzz - Unboxing Everyday Cars and Supercars Nice try, oh "arrogant one"...actually I'm probably a bit older than your average Spark owner (say more like your Dad's age) I've owned Vettes, Range Rovers,& luxury 4x4 trucks & this car works for those who need reliable,economical transit but, seriously I don't think you guys should be "reviewing" cars by just looking at them from someone else's video & especially when you haven't actually driven the car (come on, really?)
CarBuzz - Unboxing Everyday Cars and Supercars what are you guys doing with your lives?
Your review is right down degrading and possibly rude. I purchased the LT 5 speed 2 days ago and it is a perfect city car. Im not one of those lazy people you talked about and its actually a really fun driving car. If Cheverolet Corp gets wind of this video, you can bet they'd be very upset with this review. 👎🏻
I'm going to test drive a manual 1LT tomorrow since there's a 20% off sale going on nationwide. If I could get a brand new 1LT manual for like $12-13k out the door, that would be sick! One of our company cars is a previous-gen Spark. I like it, but HATE the cvt with a passion.
I love my 5 speed! It still makes me smile every time I go get in it! I bought mine for right under 12k at the time. Hope you get what you want and enjoy!!!😊
Now i'm just depressed after I went from regretting to get one of these new and then coming to like the car. :(
this car is amazing, the car is better now compare to its previous models im a big fan of spark I know it's bias but yea cool car imo :)
It's also than almost any other car in it's class. I know I have one. LS trim, all manual controls, manual trans, ( a bonus for me). As a bonus I got mine for $8500 brand new. :)
I don't know what the climate is like where you live but in the winter I'd rather be in a heated car than walking out or biking in -20. Especially with snow.
Two words: portable heaters.
CarBuzz - Unboxing Everyday Cars and Supercars Not sure what you mean by that.
But in most cities, a bike is much more sensible. Maybe not mid western winters, but I do know folks who add studded tires to a bike, wear the right clothes and they are "good". Depends. If it is under 5 miles then cycling can make a lot of sense.
Do people drive 105mph? Or over that? I mean, we're not driving race cars on the road - we shouldn't.
I love my Chevy Spark and for my lifestyle it is the most practical car for me. Also love how large the windows are compared to a lot of the popular cars the guys commentating in this video would suggest over this car. So many cars these days have tiny windows. Least you can see all around you and parking is brilliant.
It's a car made of practicality. And for the price, it's good.
For a good quality vid, production wise I have to ask... who dropped the ball when it came to the actual content. It sounds like kids nagging on another kid.
I love how all their most recent uploads are all luxury cars.. d bags. I’m 16 and this looks like the PERFECT starter car for me!
Some people have kids and want to buy them a car for highschool and college. Sometimes people don't have a lot of money and want to buy something new and with a warranty.
People buy it for great gas mpg, low price, warranty, no frills, yet it has apple carplay. Plus chevy had a 20% off that brings the price down into the $12,000 range.
Under 10k is totally possible, and makes it worth getting over nicer 13 grand or more cars.
buildmorefarms100 I have a 2015 Rouge base trim that I use mostly when going out with the wife and kids but I also have a spark to go to work or personal errands. Great milage and easy to find a parking spot. Plus I don't need anything larger when I am alone. And where I live, it gets really hot in the summer and a bicycle is just not an option when you have to do 4 hours worth of driving.
i love my little 2017 spark ls 5 speed. ultra low cost and high mpg!
I just got this car in LT1 last week and i get over 40 mpg on hwy. This is a great little car! Dnt listen to these guys.
You guys are the people you are speaking about.
I own 2018 Chevrolet Spark LS. I love it.
Los Angeles CA
I would recommend to test drive all three 2017 Chevrolet Spark models (LS, 1LT, and 2LT) before buying one.
you guys are goofy. I like the crank up windows, you should see my biceps.
This review is stupid, This car is great: A teenagers first car, a 2nd car for commuting because your $50,000+ truck is not the best on gas. Or, the reality of life, it's this or a bus pass
I live 2 miles away from my job where I'm on my feet all day. Why would I want to walk? Plus, what if I want to go somewhere further than my job? I can't ride my motorcycle all year round because we get snow.
I love my spark. Its a great gas saver and fun. I cant believe how badly your degrading the spark. Its an awesome car.
Just bought a 2017 LT and one of the best and most fun cars I bought . Amazing technology with back up camera 7inch touch screen cant go wrong. 17 grand brand new and got it for 12780 left over . I coukdnt be more happier. I was shocked how smooth and fun this ride is and how much room it really has for looking small from outside. Cool thing seats fall down and can take it to drive in theater lay in it . Damn cool car. These guys are out of there living minds. Comes with apple carplay and Android auto play really Awsome with navigation system on 7inch screen. Best deal on the market. Test drive a LT see for yourself. Filled my car today for 20 bucks!!!
I wish i lived in my grandmas basement, and was playing playstation. If i could afford a playstation and had the kinda of safety net where family members would take me in rent free then i wouldn't be looking at a chevy spark rn.
i have a 2014 spark with a 5 speed manuel i have a base line car
Horrible review.
The best thing about it is a sturdy body structure. Twin knee air bags (driver/passenger) and side seat airbags both front and rear are four more airbags than most cars get. It also marginally passed the narrow front impact test IIHS rolled out.
I'd rather listen to Justin Bieber sing than to these two :D
With the job i have, i could use this car for my deliverys since its better on gas than what i currently have.
So... I make enough where I could afford a much more expensive car and not think twice... However I also didn't want a car payment again so after a couple extra shifts here and there I bought a spark paid in full and couldn't be happier
Me too. I bought the 2 LT with everything on it. I love it. I also have a classic 1990 Nissan 300ZX that is gorgeous. I prefer to drive the Spark around town, and am selling the Z. Who knew?
I paid cash for my 2LT and could have paid cash for just about any car on the market. But I don't need prove I have money because I do.
Don't like the new guy. He's trying to be another Mr. Regular but he's a lot more cringeworthy and not really funny. My advice is to stick to doing the videos yourself, as those videos are always great.
Mr. Regular? I wish. He's way better and far more handsome. Cringeworthy and not really funny? You sound like my wife. Thanks for the feedback tho!
David T. I absolutely agree. I can see how he's been experimenting with different style videos recently but the regular ones are the best.
CarBuzz - Unboxing Everyday Cars and Supercars case and point
CarBuzz - Unboxing Everyday Cars and Supercars just do it by yourself. So much hate for that little car is not funny.
It is easier to make a supercar with unlimited budget (since cost can be transferred to the customer) than a cheap car with limited resources (elasticity of demand is higher)
Mr. Regular would've like this car or at least give it an honest review
First of all I feel targeted by the living in the basement comment lol... Also I live in a rural area and the only dealership around is GM so I'm sort of limited in that way. I also like the lack of electronic features because it is less stuff to go wrong. This is a fun car to drive with a manual transmission and I like to take it on twisting gravel roads and river valleys. It can drift ok on the downhills. It's tough to find new cars that are this lightweight.
Very ignorant to what the actual purpose of this car is sad
I’d buy one.
The rear seat cushions tumble forward like the older Golfs. You first pull the seat cushions up and out of the way then drop the seat back down.
if some one didnt say it already it doesnt have key less entry but u can open the driver door lock remote via ur phone for free which might be the future. O.O
love the vid!
The Fiesta will be fun for the first 12 months, after that... they just fall apart. Terrible reliability.
I am not sure how reliable this Spark is but probably is way better than the Fiesta.
152K on a Fiesta with only the crap locks being an issue. Original clutch.
Otherwise, oil changes, brakes, tires and the timing belt at 150K. Then an F150 decided to park in my hatch.
In the process of getting one. Great car for a teenager to get a loan on, only has 20k miles, any other car for the price is hard to find under 100k
These can be bought for under 10 grand. But so can a Nissan Versa S. The Versa would likely hold up better long term, certainly roomier, electric side mirrors, if you like a trunk... it has a trunk.
The Spark more fun to drive, little bit cooler looking (subjective) and has Apple Car Play, plus the fold down rear seat and hatch is super handy.
14 grand would be a lot for a car like this, too much.
Then you got the Mitsubishi Mirage, gotta deal with valve adjustments every 30k and a 3 cylinder.. but over 45 MPG is reported and they have all kinds of power stuff inside some of you might care about (I don't). About $10,500 out the door. Might be the most reliable of the 3, and has a 10 year 100k warranty.
Nice to know we have good cars under 11 grand out there to consider.
I LOVE my Spark!!!!! So you're talking about basic "bike " and yet put down a rolling window or keyless entry...
Onstar, backup camera, great gas milage, runs great, touch screen..
Quit hating if you don't even own one
holy shit I died at "wow he's really cranking down those windows fast"
This is an unfair review. My mother has a base 2013 spark with the 5 speed manual in blue. She's put over 100k miles on it, and there's been practically nothing wrong with it. It's been averaging 44 mpg, and the ride honestly is not bad. It's not even that slow, and it rides okay enough for me. You guys are just a bunch of spoiled brats who have been given fancy stuff all of their life and you expect the best of everything.
Most people can't have the nicest of everything. My car is a 2006 cobalt ls coupe with the 5 speed manual and my dad has a 2007 cobalt lt sedan. They've worked fine and I quite like my cobalt.
But you guys probably would just think we suck and are low life trash just because we don't drive a bunch of 50k+ BMWs or Audis.
Sorry guys, but you need to get in touch with what most people can afford. Most people aren't rich losers like you guys are.
I'm probably buying one. I can either spend some good dough on something with more car, or get this and drive the piss out of it. Might do it.
My sister is looking for a car like this so I'm watching reviews for her on this car, and man to listen to this loosers talk about cars is just sad, also get your facts right you can pick this up for 10k new.
I really hope that this review was supposed to be a little ironic. You're comparing it to cars not necessarily in it's class. The plus side to having all of the manual controls, less electronics to fail over time. It's a simple, small, fun-to-drive hatchback, that doesn't break the bank. I have one and I think it's great (and I am a car guy btw). I liken it to another car that I used to have, ( and regret getting rid of) my 1984 Mk1 VW GTI. That was another simple, small, fun-to-drive hatchback. They even have similar horsepower. I take my little Spark on twisty back roads on my commute home, the thing is a blast to drive, because you don't have to go fast to have fun in a car. The bonus of my car is that I got during the promotion at the end of last year, I paid a whopping $8500 for a new car. :)
Holy shit.
"Thanks to this dealership for letting us film!"
*Shits hard on their car*
If you like to walk then why not just purchase a Ford.
No shit it's basic. It's probably the cheapest car around. It's still a great first car and it's fine in the city.
Not everyone wants a gadget basket car that will blow your nose for you.
I got a 2013 and loved it and traded for a lavender 2014. You know how much extra remote keys cost? $18 each, got two extra. How much will remote keys run? Also don't give a hoot about 0 to 60 in 2 seconds.
It does what it is designed to do very well. I plan on another new Spark this year. Oh yes, I paid cash and can have steak dinners anytime and often as I want. What's your car payment??
Good luck lugging groceries and furniture on your sexy bike lol.
This review is nowhere...Oy...♐
This car is appealing. 14 grand? I think the buyer really needs to learn to negotiate. Buy this with a 5 speed for 10 grand. That is possible. If you want more, then go buy a Honda Fit LX for 15-16 grand. But, getting ahead of myself.. this is worth it, and great in Base form. ONLY. I have seen ads to get you to come in and buy the ones NOT worth it, for $9000. That is pretty cheap for a great new car. Who cares that the trunk is not automatic? Or that it has 15" wheels? Keyless Entry? That's fine. 10 grand!! Not 20 grand. It even has AC!, Apple Car Play, tons of air bags, arm rests, Tach, cup holders throughout.. it is a great car for the money. If a woman likes you based on the car you drive, or if you drive a car.. let that one GO. Smart ladies will think you are smart for saving $.
Yeah, it's a great price, especially considering its standard list of options.
I love my spark lt the lt is perfect for single guy and yes I have got alot of good compliments and its so cute and paralle parking is breeze
17 inch shorter than honda fit. I might just delete the rear seats and make it a 2 seats car with good amount of cargo space.
dude!!!!! you described me perfectly!!! hahaha
Awful awful awful review.
How about 43yr old with a $810k house, 4 cars(S2 Lotus Exige S, MK7 GTi, Range Rover, A90 Supra). That just wants a commuter that I don't give a shit about.
its not a Mercedes or BMW duchbag
I bet this guy has a man bun.................
damn! these guys called me out.... 30, living with mom, plays playstation (with mom) and I'm looking at this car cause someone smashed my mazda miata yesterday.... FML....
Can you review the Chevy Sonic?
It's coming up very soon!
I'll be sure to miss that piece of garbage "reporting". You guys are charmless and smarmy.
i prefer manuel windows
Sean Ghertner 😂 lol
If this car was an eating utensil, it would be a spork.....it's there...it's usefull, I guess...but you'd rather get something else cause it's a bit weird....plus, the Mitsu Mirage costs the same or less, is more fuel efficient and has more stuff
Ha! A spork. Awesome comparison! You're right, it is sort of the sport of cars.
These guys sound like total "d" bags. I have a LT2, and use it as a commuter, and love it. My last car was an 06 Toyota Corolla, and I had to get the base model (hand crank Windows), and used to afford it. This one brand new was less a month, and I got the upgraded package.
I’m getting the manual, because the automatic cvt is actually trash.
if someone wanted 2 if they move the firewall back a little bit you can shove an ls motor
in it
I think just about any other motor (save for a lawn mower motor) would be better in this case.
CarBuzz - Unboxing Everyday Cars and Supercars starting on the 2016 spark they went from 1.2 liter engine to a 1.4
in Canada it gets a stick shift :)
What is this? Mystery Simpleton Theater 3000? Wow this is bad.
touch screen but no power windows...what
Yeah, we noticed that too. Strange, right?
Haha the other guy's funny...
Well thank you very much sir! Maybe they won't lock me in the dungeon anymore.
I look forward to seeing you in more videos too! :D
ya are killing me but see convenice and gas
Yeah Jeep might get more women but..... I tried to talk myself out of it but Jeep it is.
Wow this car is super basic
In usa this car is a good option but in mexico this car have zero safety stuff, so no one in mexico should buy one
LMFAO
get a honda fit base trim. way way better.
those are like over 15 grand, though, right? I think the last Ad I saw was a base model Spark for 9 grand.
16,800 for a base fit and no apple carplay.
Double the price of this car? Yeah, get a base model of this car.
buildmorefarms100 Who cares about apple CarPlay?
This "unboxing" is a joke.
Haha funniest car review ever.
😂😂😂😂
What a childish review plus not funny
