I just bought a 2013 Spark! I'm a new driver, so the power of the engine isn't a big deal to me. I find it's a peppy little car and for my first car, I'm very happy with it. It turns so nicely. It's perfect. :)
I was actually impressed with this car, I rented one for a couple weeks and was leery thinking it was going to be dreadful, but very wrong. In the past, I've been an off road vehicle type of person with trucks and 4x4 SUVs. the Spark was a nice change and surprise. Even with the low HP, it still had some get up & go. The reviews state that the Spark isn't really for the Hwy, but I never had problems as it is totally capable of maneuvering in traffic with comfort. I was able to do 80 mph without problems. The instrument cluster is fantastic along with the touch screen stereo that incorporates with a lot of cool stuff through your smartphone. Awesome car and it is roomy inside, I couldn't tell I was in a subcompact. It is sporty and not an embarrassment. With the hi tech features & mpg who cares, it's a nice ride, it suits my life style and seems to be dependable with a good crash rating, sporty and cost effective, I'll put the extra gas money in the bank. The price is just right.
You must have got a rare one then. The ones I have driven go 0-40 in about 9 seconds. I am almost scared to drive them as I'm afraid I'll be run over because it can't get up to the speed limit.
I agree with you. I got this as a rental. It was surprisingly zippy on highway and fairly roomy. Seat was comfortable and driver seat had pretty good leg room. I am thinking of buying one as a daily driver.
I rented a Spark, and drove 438 miles and got 40.5 mpg. Was very comfortable, and removal of the back seat bottoms creates plenty of cargo room. So much I easily fit my 36" dog crate and all luggage with plenty of room to spare. I love it so much I am buying one!
I have to say, I'm pretty impressed by what Chevrolet and Chrysler and other american car manufacturers improved their build quality over the past 2-3 years. Job well done.
this cars worth every penny! I've had mine for almost a year now. handles great, and it has surprisingly quick off the line for only having 84 horse power. The main selling point for everyone, other than the price (around 14k), is the mpg. Its amazing on gas. It also offers more features than its competitors (fiat and scion iq). The only negative I could complain about is that I wish it had a little more "top end". But who doesn't ?
NOTE: The back seat bottoms come out COMPLETELY with a snap. He did not show this and should have. By taking them out, the back seats go totally flat like a Honda Fit.
I have sat in one & the roominess surprised me almost as much as when I heard "4 speed automatic". Looks like this will still be a perfect fit for my mom.

I don't understand how someone could dis like a video by saabkyle04
I bought this can a month ago and its great. The best thing about it is you have to do oil change EVERY 7500 miles!!! No kidding. I didnt know this until i got the first chevy letter in the mail so if you are looking into staving money the i would recommend the spark. Im really happy about my decision.
terrific car review: The most thorough I've had the pleasure to watch. The HD video really complemented the superb running commentary. I feel as though I've just visited the dealership myself. Thanks!
A few months ago, my father's uncle(who's in his 90s) told dad he'd never imagine to see small cars conquering America, land of ships over wheels. Of course the crisis and our current care with the environment along with money issues have brought all that up. Those wonderful and gigantic autombiles of 50s are totally out of fit for the 21st century reality. But I must agree that the golden image of America is still so big it gets hard to believe those little(nice) cars are coming over.
This car is nice. I like how it adds nice features to the car. I've never seen a car with a touch screen that is under $20,000. Good job Chevrolet! And thank you Kyle for interviewing this car. =)
yea i bought it two weeks ago, its a great car and great power on the freeway with just 84 hp. i got the windows tinted to limo because it matched and looks good with the color black.
You can always trust the Bowtie. Maybe not the prettiest, fastest, or best equipped cars, but if you need transportation, any of their cars will get you where you need to go.
And they make hitch receivers for this car. So it will tow a small utility trailer too if you need more cargo space. I was very tempted at buying one but found out it was in a frontal crash.
Hopefully when im old enough im going to get the one that hasnt been facelifted, i love these little things, they look fun to drive and they also look sporty, 4.5 stars for me because it just needs a bigger boot/trunk and then it would be the perfect car!
Automan14 I wouldn't mind driving this car everyday and I'm 43 years old man. I'm tired of my 3 gluttonous and thirsty (v-8 cars) sucking out my wallet buying fuel all the time. Fuel is expensive.
I live in NYC and I still drive a SUV. Its not my job to come up with cars that back in the 80's were getting better gas mileage. Older small body BMW , stick, diesel. Gave you over 40mpg highway if driven right.
I had the first gen of this car, a 1998 Daewoo Matiz, 4 door. It was more fuel effiecent than my motorbike with it's frugal 0.8 engine. I maxed it out once at 96mph with 5 people squashed in the car. Good thing I didn't crash because I'm pretty sure I'd be safer on my motorbike then that tin can car.
Can't say that about the Sonic, which is the Aveo's replacement. That car is miles ahead of the Aveo in every sense, especially build quality, value for money, power, and gas mileage.
the daewoo matiz was the old model sold in europe from 1998 to 2004 under the daewoo brand and under the chevrolet brand from 2004 to 2009 when chevrolet began selling the spark. Greeting from spain Kyle¡¡ :D
It passes with decent ratings because it's made of modern materials using modern manufacturing processes. Unlike the rest of GM's boats and Chrysler's land barges. A remarkably efficient use of 2400 pounds. Especially considering where GM has been for the last 30 years.
I have some questions for this chevette 2.0 does the carburetor zip-zip? has a Kompiutaarr? has an overhead cam? has a non serviceable air cleaner? was designated usafe for higway use? tennagers have goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooone finding a way around it's limitations? thank you
well it was made for europe and asia, here in europe people generally know how to drive stick, and so they prefer even cheaper manual. That one is 5speed. For the US market they fit it with one of them oldschool 4speed automatic, as an extra.
Yes, the interior is better looking lol, but the pricing is hardly different on higher trim levels so most people would go for the sonic. And i guess it depends on what you need lol.
well i bought the car a month ago and its been great so far, great on gas also has good torque on the freeway, but the there are a few things i dont like about it which are the shocks and the speakers in the car. first the car feels like it doesnt have shocks when ur going over railroad tracks of uneven pavement u feel everything in the car and when u do go over a bump or the railroad tracks u bounce pretty high on ur seat, also the speakers in the car sound like a regular stereo u would plug in
@@scorpiocara6798 this was sever years ago... Don't buy the car, it's horrible. Also I traded it in a few months after ownership because of how bad it drove and the A/C not working well with a 1 liter engine.
I'd take the interior of the Spark over the Interior of the Sonic. I also like the turn radius more on the Spark. The Sonic is a much better highway car though, especially with the turbo.
It's a product of safety and crash testing regulations. The less empty space between surfaces, the less there is to be crushed in a roll over. Similarly, the higher the window sills are, the more material and the lesser the risk of things inside of the car getting squished. Automakers don't want to make ugly cars, but they kind of have to if they want to maintain their product's pricing and safety standards.
Nice review. Took my daughter to walk some used lots and get a feel for what used cars are like and came across one of these w 4k miles demo. Knew nothing about it. Engine sound reminded me alot of the 80's Chevy Sprint. Moved about the same. For the price compared to many used cars its simple impressive. Curious to get Test crash data. Car drove nice. (far nicer than i expected) Power is not its thing. Phone link is Genius, why put $ into your car that your phone already has.
People will be better off with the Spark. The price of a Spark isn't much more but the space, performance and safety will be better without sacrificing too much fuel economy. I bet if an 18 wheeler passes you in one of these the entire car will rock back and forth, very unsafe and not confidence inspiring.
Why no test drive review? I drove two and liked them a lot! Very quiet and peppy even with the automatic. I did notice the five spped manual is higher rpm but still quiet at 65....the auto turns maybe 2600 at that speed and the manual was maybe 2900.
Maybe I'm missing something but why do people act like this is so new and amazing. Gm Made small cars for years,Hell remember the Chevette,Geo,sprint etc

watson hastings i have one I absolutely love it
Hold on ! This car is not for highway ???
Personally i would go for the sonic, still a good car though
That car is so cute! It's totally made for a college student.
Ok
Nope it’s so bad! I’m not surprise the fact that this is a GM Brand! I have a Hyundai and the interior look very German
Do Not Say No Or Else Garrett Will Be Mad And Sad At You!
Im dreaming of having this one..Im.on south korea. It is definitely the first dream car i wanna buy.

Such a nice vehicle. The style, price, and gas mileage are right on spot. I bought this car a few days ago. I think I made the right choice.
I have to say, I'm pretty impressed by what Chevrolet and Chrysler and other american car manufacturers improved their build quality over the past 2-3 years. Job well done.
Im gonna get my sisters spark can’t wait it’s gonna be my first car :)))
It's good?
Got my first car and love it

terrific car review: The most thorough I've had the pleasure to watch. The HD video really complemented the superb running commentary. I feel as though I've just visited the dealership myself. Thanks!
im actually getting this car because of its price and mainly the mpg, getting tired of driving my mustang and filling it up every 3 days.
Do U Still Have Your Mustang??????

saabkyle04?
It is a pleasure to listen to Saabkyle, thanks for your profesionalism.
you know, this car is pretty good. nice design, handsome interior; not much more you can expect from a car of it's caliber.
Hey Saabkyle, I dig your reviews man. You're into it. You gotta be a car nut...from the Spark to the GTR....cheers
You rock, Kyle!! Best reviews on youtube!!
I hate it when people complain about this car. It is RIDICULOUSLY cheap.
Exactly why my brother sold his Holden V6, its actually a nice car for its price.
You can always trust the Bowtie. Maybe not the prettiest, fastest, or best equipped cars, but if you need transportation, any of their cars will get you where you need to go.
@Saabkyle04, I have a question, Is a hybrid just a electric and gas?
Another one,Is @ChrisFix your friend?
My father has the 2016 Chevrolet Spark LS At Los Cipreses Cars Station
My parents drove this Chevrolet Spark in Canada for a rental car it's so cute.
And I thought the Sonic was already a small car. Then again there is a market for Smart fortwos in North America...
And the Fiat 500
I’m confused... did GM have a 2 Sub-Compact car?
Sub Compact: Spark and Sonic
Compact: Cruze
That Horn!! Lol!!🤣🤣🤣
And they make hitch receivers for this car. So it will tow a small utility trailer too if you need more cargo space. I was very tempted at buying one but found out it was in a frontal crash.
The spark is an awesome little hatchback
Hopefully when im old enough im going to get the one that hasnt been facelifted, i love these little things, they look fun to drive and they also look sporty, 4.5 stars for me because it just needs a bigger boot/trunk and then it would be the perfect car!
Dude the spark is a chic car.

This would be an awesome starter car. I have my eyes set on it for my first car when I get a driver's license in 2 years! Blue 1lt manual version.
Saabkyle04 should do a review on the Dominos DXP
I live in NYC and I still drive a SUV. Its not my job to come up with cars that back in the 80's were getting better gas mileage. Older small body BMW , stick, diesel. Gave you over 40mpg highway if driven right.
damn this little car is so loaded! I bet people overseas would love their spark to come like this one

Cute. I remember my sister having a Chevette. It was almost a Kelley green. :) I like this one.
my brother owns this car and its good if you want a fuel efficient and comfortable small car with a decent interior.

S-TEC are a series of engines that Daewoo developed with cooperation of Suzuki... This one on the Spark is one of the latest
Thanks for listing the MSRP in the video information Kyle!
Thanks for the video ***** I absolutely love this car! Keep up the amazing videos!
Great video as always Kyle!
Does it have a backup camera
enjoying your new video format, thanks
That VW/Audi key!!! Those things are cool to play with lol
Excellent review! Thanks for all the info!
My neighbor also has a Spark, but lime green.
Wonderful review! Very detailed.
The car looks cool but I prefer the Suzuki Cappuccino
Better
How cute is that little engine!
for a small city car this sounds prettry good!
Can't say that about the Sonic, which is the Aveo's replacement. That car is miles ahead of the Aveo in every sense, especially build quality, value for money, power, and gas mileage.

Anyone else think of the second transformers movie when u see this awesome car?
What's the I mode on the transmission?
I wanna buy this one with a rear view camera
If it wasn't a Chevy, would seriously think about getting one.

I have some questions for this chevette 2.0
does the carburetor zip-zip?
has a Kompiutaarr?
has an overhead cam?
has a non serviceable air cleaner?
was designated usafe for higway use?

In Indian version this is called as Chevrolet beat
that car looks bad-ass i want one, the front end sorta looks like the new chevy malibu
This is a Awesome little car
Definitely looking to buy a new one! Why? Because it's a new car that I can buy for $8,000 or less (depending if you get a promotional deal).
Just got a 2014 2LT for 8500 without tax. Great price for what comes with it!
You can buy a nicer used car at least 10 years old around 100,000 miles on it. Get tons of features, and lasts about as long as this thing.
@@xSnakeBerryx is this a bad car?
@@scorpiocara6798 yes, want a simular car get a Honda Fit
@@xSnakeBerryx oh wow. I'll look into that one u mentioned. Thanks!
Out off al the smalle cars, i would say i'd want either the Dodge Dart or this spark. They're actually nice looking.
I like the Spart more than all of the car you just mentioned, is that a good reason for me to get one ?

I nearly died when he said "4-speed" Oh dead God Chevy!!

Beautiful vehicle, honestly.
I am considering this car too. I have a mustang and what I spend on Gas is the same as having a car payment

looks so much better than the Aveo

I'd take the interior of the Spark over the Interior of the Sonic. I also like the turn radius more on the Spark. The Sonic is a much better highway car though, especially with the turbo.
Nice C pillar blind spot
With all the smaller cars out on the market, this would be one of my last choices. Only thing this has going for it is the font of the clock.
