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
@@jonathanpusar5931 I also got the ls model with manual everything (except mine is cvt). 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.
There are people going 168k on these cars with proper maintenance and on these you have to do CVT fluid every 30K . I did some of my homework and I am going to purchase one of these lil guys.
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.
Like with anything else the price can and does vary depending on where you live and the dealer. I'm in a major city in the usa where everything's expensive so considering the final out the door price, it was no longer a "cheap" car 🙄
I had this base model in purple. I even told the dealer that I didn't want the base model. I traded it in after 2 months. I hated the manual door locks, mirrors, and windows.
No. I have 17K on mine and I'm perfectly happy with it. Guess it depends on your age and maturity though. I'm 55 and have driven mostly Mercedes Benz's and Cadillac's etc most of my life. I'll have another one of those again for sure. But there is nothing wrong with the way these drive. Unless you have the mental level of a 12 year old with your head screwed on crooked under your ball cap worried about your dick size.
Fortunately I've never needed a new car that bad. Better off taking the money and buy a used Camry. That thing would get totaled by a headon with a motorcycle.

I have a 2020 spark I love it. No issues I’ve had it about two years now.
I bought a brand new one a year ago and I love it!!!!! I hear they are not making them anymore.

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.
🤣😂 Thanks for bringing back that old memory

Umm no disrespect but maybe therapy would do you good.
You can lay the seats flat. You can flip up the bottom of the seat and remove the headrest.
Bought 2021 Spark LT2 in Jan 2021 has been a great car and is very reliable. I removed the back seat to carry cargo and it holds quite a bit.
this was the car i was looking for in 2019, but they had an LT with a 5 speed in stock. the extras were well worth it.
Did the Spark cut corners? Yes, it cuts so many corners that this car Is a sphere.

That’s what I am saying 🙏 good luck on your search!
I thought the cvt was a sealed unit?? If so, there's no way to change the fluid. I'm getting mixed reports on this topic
@@dougroberts3643 I haven’t heard of any CVTs not being able to swap the trans fluid. If so, they probably aren’t meant to last
Got 202k miles on Hyundai Veloster with only oil changes. Never once changed transmission fluid on it.
I own 2020 LS manual. Fun to drive and well built.
Yes everybody says the manual stickshifts are plenty of fun to drive and a Spark of joy 😊how's yours turning out?
best purchase ever! get me to work cheap! 😎👍
However my windshield cracked twice this month and they’re not from rocks

"Less to break" should be listed on the window sticker under options available.
Be nice if it had the power train of the 1.4 buick encore especially with AWD .
Nissan versa note is a must buy too
When I move to Mexico, I’ll get this car for fun 😊
Price?
Interesting accent, what country are you from?
What's the price?

Have same color manual i like it just fine for all the reasons everyone doesnt

good review presentation
Best deal I ever got I’m not gonna lie. I’m sad they’re discontinued. I’m just a gal trying to get to work, fish, n back.
This car is Junk, but I love your video's keep up the great work my man
lmao, I appreciate it man!
So you had trouble with the one you bought ?
you said it had 7,000 846,000 miles hahahhahha
Chevy reliability right there 😂
This is the car I want and everyone’s telling me to get a Honda civic
Civic will be more dependable.
This isn’t a bad car though! It’s all down to your preference
i have 54k on mine now with out missing a beat, average 41 mpg, its a basic transportation car but does that very well
Like a moped with a roof but with less tech.
i am about to got mine next week with a manual transmission
Manual 🙏
Did you order one or buy a used one?
@@dougroberts3643 brand new, apparently. the Spark is still available for purchase in the Philippine Market.
For a 2021 model they really cheaper out on the tech too
I have one there great little cars
I just feel like these are horrible to drive?
I have driven in worst, but its relatively bad for a 2021 car.
@@AutoMotivateWhat about the Mirage?
