I've had this car (red) for about a year now. pretty happy with it. Few issues here and there since I purchased it used, but they all got repaired under warranty. If anybody is thinking of buying their first new, or even used, car, this is it. Great gas milage will pay for itself over time if you drive a lot. Going from something getting 16mpg to this car (31mpg city), it literally pays for itself in gas savings. And since its a car under 100 horsepower, small, lots of air bags, full coverage insurance for me is under $100 a month. This car is a no brainer for somebody with a low budget like myself.
I'm driving a Chevy Spark rental. Not a fan of the little space, but it is a cute little car and has some very basic and some newer features. Breaks, steering, handling and suspension/shocks are awesome. I've already received one compliment on it. I own a Scion tC but if it gets totaled, I'll be in the market for a Honda or Toyota. I read somewhere this one overheats and I like to take road trips so I need something very reliable.
i own a 2015, soon to buy a 2020.. this video was so helpfull. I don't live in the area but def would buy one if I did. simple and to the point, very thorough job my guy
Just got the standard model of this car (LT). Freakin love it! The only thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t have cruise control but I’m going to get that installed🙌🏼
I have the LT & I got it in 2020 I wish I knew about the sunroof but i still love my car. I definitely will get an upgrade once I pay it off it does great on gas and I love it as an A & B car
It’s a great little car. I have a (Holden) Spark, same car, which I purchased in 2017. I have put 30,000 kms on it, not one problem. Very good in city, CVT is great (and quiet) on the highway. Engine is very powerful, roomy for the size, good brakes, steering feel and handling. Very manoeuvrable, so suits the city perfectly, but also pretty good on the highway. I have a Toyota Camry, which is also a great car, but I prefer this for city driving, so good on narrow streets, tiny car spaces etc. Rear room is ok for the size, but tall adults won’t be comfortable. Other minuses are the very small boot (trunk) and tiny 30L fuel tank. But a well built, fun and funky little car overall. I might add the price of this car is much lower than a Toyota Yaris, for instance. As such I wouldn’t expect the same durability as a Yaris, however should be good for 200000 kms. Fuel consumption is very good if driven conservatively, I’m beating the stated consumption, currently averaging 6.2 L/100 kms, which is excellent!
The Yaris and Echo were actually cheap built cars as a mechenic in damp climate the electrical was a nightmare and actually expensive repairs in simple parts ... i cant recommend the Spark as im just seeing reviews etc
I've heard the Echo was actually pretty reliable, yes it felt a bit cheap. Have never heard anything bad about the Yaris, but was'nt prepared to pay $6,000 more for one!
I have been back & forth with a couple of vehicles~ but really like the SPARK. The cargo shelf is good, compared to the flimsy one they are now putting in quite a few vehicles😒
Nice review. I'm about to take delivery of a clean, low mileage 2014. Keeping the price down, I went for the LS. What's funny is that I REALLY didn't think I was going to like this cheap, efficient eco-box, but from the multiple test drives I've taken, ( and feeling safe about the many many positive reviews I've researched before my purchase) I think I'll love it. Finding a manual transmission, in low miles, or anything at all, in manual, is non-existant in my area. Closest reliable looking, and low to reasonable mileage, was over 200 miles away. But Im still happy with the auto, just SLIGHTLY less. I wish a sun/moonroof was available on the 2014, I would have held out. :D
@@shinobusensui9395 23,000 miles, and slightly over $10 K. I highly enjoy this thing. One thing I have noticed, and nobody has mentioned is that the left cup holder fits a regular size soft drink can/drink. The right cup holder, is marginally larger, for the bigger soda cans. Thought that was cool.
Good review , thnx , I now drive a 2020 model (LT+) and thats the second SPARK for me as I had a 2017 model ...Great solid little car! Question : I've read somewhere that for the Canadian and some south American markets theres a 1.4 Turbo model (2 door ) manual sporty model ...?
@@zacharypeery4082 I bought a 2017 Spark LS brand new and I LOVE it. 40K miles on the odometer as of 8/25/19 and not a single issue. The value for the money is outstanding. The Spark runs and drives like a larger, more expensive vehicle. I belong to a Spark FaceBook page. There's a member on it who runs a Spark-only delivery service. Each one of her Sparks accumulates over 100,000 miles per year. She currently has a 2019 Spark with 220,000 miles and still going strong. They are bulletproof outside of needing ball joints around the 110K mark.
I bought the Mitsubishi mirage due to it's better mpg. It's slow as hell but, I do get 40 miles city sometimes 50 miles per gallon when I 'm in the highway with no traffic.
I've seen some aftermarket ones priced around $1,500, but honestly, I don't trust any aftermarket sunroofs. Is it cheaper than the hit from trading in for one with a sunroof, yes, but I wouldn't want anyone but the manufacturer cutting a hole in my car.
Hello sir i have questions please taking a 2018 chevrolet malibu engine is what you can get in a 2019 chevrolet malibu Lt would like to know your opinion and the incovenientt please thank you! or if it causes any problem
No issues with the engines. A lot of people are not liking the CVT transmission though. Personally, I like the drive better on it, but the history of longevity isn't that good.
@@aryanprivilege9651 First of all, let me get something out of my system...lol. There. Now a Diahatsu? Ofcourse the parts are hard to find. Its not a failed Japanese car. Its a fail in the American market that Toyota phased out decades ago. Shocked you you got your hands on one, but if you go to a Toyota dealer, they may be able to order a part, but it can take up to six weeks to get it.
@@aryanprivilege9651 Really? Your previous comment must of been off the charts for RUclips to delete. Its was probably the poster of this clip or someone flagged it as abuse, though I've seen some radical post and still up now and I am not talking about the gnarly type radical.
My wife and I bought me a 2020 spark last year and it has no power locks and no power windows. Does it have an alarm system?, I've been told by a Chevrolet dealer mechanic, it does have one, but he told me, if someone tries to break into it, an alarm will go off, and the car won't go anywhere and the little led light in the bottom of my windshield will flash if it happens. Is this true, how does it work because like I said, there's no power windows or locks, so therefore I have no fob keys?
Its better if they dont include cup holder on rear seat. Come on its much comfortable and practical if that cup holder is not there more people can seat and more space for big people. Come on chevrolet you can do better than that

how much did you get for it? Congratulations, btw!!
@@jewelthompson4210 i got mine got 10,000 for a 2017. I feel like I've been duped but I love this car so 🤷🏾♀️
A friend of mine has one, she absolutely loves her. I am thinking of getting one while I save up for the crossover I want.
Got one today...white 1lt..16,000 flat
Update: I bought a 2021 Chevy Spark LS Caribbean blue.
I recommend this car to anyone. They are cheap but feel well built and they do everything you need transportation wise.

In the year 2020 you'd think cruise control would be a standard feature lol But the entry level cuts out a lot of amenities to keep the cost low.
Standard is the LS model. I bought a 1LT and it has cruise control

Take the headrest out to maximize the capacity and have a flat floor.

I paid this much for a USED one with 57k miles in November 2022, wow, I could have pretty much got a new one
Don't beat yourself up. I'm looking at a 2020 with 47k for almost 12k. The market sucks for cars new or used right now.
Awesome video! I’m going to be getting a spark activ
Thank you :) Great choice!
What color are you going to get? I like the biege !!!!
I have one just like this one except it is a 5 speed manual transmission. I use it as a toad,great little car.
Thank you for showing us the car
My pleasure, thank you for watching :)
So funny this is spitzers 🤣🤣🤣 they just bought out so many place here in my town
When is the best time to buy a new (2022) one? I want one for about 12k since the msrp is over 13k. I live in Dayton and there is none here now
Just got the 2021 LT. Only thing I had to do was take out the styrofoam holding the jack in place. Was squeaky.
Thank you for the review!
I just bought a 2022 LT Special Edition for $18,200. $11,700 with trade, brand new. Only thing it's missing is the sunroof. It's way nicer of a car.

I'd buy..but in a manual transmission ❤️
Does the trip computer tell you the mpg?
Can you add the power window to the LS version? How much that would cost?
Nope, unfortunately it's not an option on the LS, but it's standard on the 1LT and up

Chain I'm pretty sure

I saw the location icon at the bottom of the console screen, but no map. Does this not have GPS or anything? Is it installable?
It has GPS
I know the Chevrolet Spark, uses a Jatco/Nissan CVT/Automatic. Who makes the manual trans in a Chevy Spark? (USA Model) Thanks!
Great question, I've done some searching but couldn't find anything definitive :(
awesome video thank --canada
Do they have manual, heated seats and sun roof?
Though very rare (3 in the entire country right now), it is possible with the 2LT trim
Does it have lower fog lights on the 1LT?
Not on the 1LT, there are daytime running lamps down lower. The fog lamps are only on the Activ trim now
Can we add air-conditioning in LS manual. How much it costs?
The Spark comes standard with air-conditioning
the 1LT comes with moonroof standard??
No. It was an upgrade. It comes standard on the 2LT though.
@@chartyndall oh okok thx for the clarification
It is optional on the 1LT & 2LT only
Is it towable 4 wheels down?
It front wheel drive so the automatic you throw it natural but mabey
The manual transmission ones can. If it has an automatic transmission it cannot be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground.
Mirrors automatically fold when the door is lock :)
it does have a sun roof?
Yes
Price?
