I own a 2013 Spark I like it a lot. Yes it does not accelerate fast but it fits my needs . I’m self employed and ride my motorcycles most of the time. I use my Spark for errands and groceries I can get nine bags in the back and the few times l give someone a ride. Love the mileage I fill up once a month.

I bought a used 19 LS for $9500 (20,000 Miles) for my daughter after watching this. New LS models (2020) are being sold here in Illinois for $12,500. If i were to buy one for myself, I’s consider the Active version.

I've had my 2019 Chevy Spark for about a year now and I absolutely love it

I just bought a 2020 1LT. I love it. Worth every dollar. It holds well on the highway.

I just bought a brand new 2020 version of it for 13,000 in Alabama and I'm in love with my little manual gas saver.

i just bought a 2021 spark 1lt and it is great. i previously drove a cobalt for 14 years. i didn't expect to buy another chevy, but the spark is the best deal in the subcompact class. too bad all car makers are phasing out small cars to make suvs and increase profits. i'm just glad i was able to buy one while they still exist.

5:52 that sounded way better than expected. I like it! The manual version would be wicked fun. Thanks for showing

Your reviews are really first class. I was driving the interstate, keeping my speed down to 70mph because...just a subcompact...and got passed by a current version Spark smoothly doing 80 mph or mor. I _might_ have matched speeds to see how the little Spark was dealing with the pretty strong crosswinds that day. Amazingly, the Spark tracked perfectly straight and true for the mile or two I followed, while I was busy nimbly adjusting the steering in response to wind-induced deflections in my much longer 101.3" wheelbase subcompact. Then I backed off the throttle and let it disappear in the distance. *That minion-sized micro vehicle had no problem at interstate speeds, crosswinds or not.* I originally got at 2017 Spark after many drives from Los Angeles to Yosemite and seeing all the rental Sparks in the parking lots (they were 1.2L models at that, before the changeover to 1.4L). Surely crazy European tourists were renting (instead of declining) rental fleet Sparks to save a few bucks, being used to micro cars in their home countries. So eventually I rented a 1.2L generation sample and found it solid and unwavering at freeway speeds despite the narrow stance and short wheelbase. When Chevy rolled out the next-gen with a 1.4L engine and 14 more horsepower, I figured I'd have to give one a try. I had a 2017 stick shift for 30 months. Drove like go-kart and easily returned 38 mpg, up to 42 mpg if I mildly hyper-miled (no out of gear coasting though - just easy acceleration and reading the traffic to coast down instead of brake where possible. Traded it in after kid complaints about the small rear seat legroom, and after endless ribbing about being the last family in the world to have to actually wind the windows down. I only have two regrets: selling it, and not taking it on some long car trips first to see what it could do. It was surprisingly quiet at freeway speeds - not quiet like a big sedan, but not noisy like a Honda Fit. And the ride was very supple - it has a "compound crank" added to the simple torsion beam rear suspension. The tires are actually pretty low profile (sporty) but the size is not so odd-ball that there aren't around 20 other choices on Tire Rack. The curiously nice thing about the low-end Spark trims is that casual onlookers don't roll their eyes at you and think you must be poor; they just think you took the cheapest rental. I think if they knew I was the actual owner, they might reevaluate their opinion of my net worth. But what do you expect in a country where the roads are clogged with $60k and up "vanity" pickup trucks with every luxury option know to man on them? And nary a tool box or bale of hay to be seen? However, in urban areas its a good idea to take off the package tray so thieves can see you aren't a tourist who left laptop and luggage in the trunk. I have mixed feelings about loaded LT's. They are still cheaper than loaded Honda Fits, and pretty posh in a Mini sort of way, but if paying that much, why not go all-in and get the new Trailblazer?

YOUR REVIEW IS FANTASTIC👌🏼 Not sure what video system you use for this KZfaq presentation-So Clear- should all be as nice as yours. I’m in a VW now, am going to consider this ( need to save money)🙃 This has everything I need- as I do NOT need the tablet size screens they are putting in more higher end vehicles🤪. Which I feel could be a distraction.

This helps a lot, I am actually considering this as a tweener car while I save up for my crossover I want.

I bought one of these 7 years ago and put 150,000 miles on it. It served me well with almost no issues until about 135-140k when it started having frequent issues. I'd like to switch things up with a different car but this really is the best car for me. It's cheap, good on gas, safe for it's class, and more reliable than other cars in it's class. Plus it's small, easy to park, fun to drive, and roomy enough for me and a friend to take a road trip. I've even taken this thing off road in the desert a couple of times. But buying the same car again is boring. Why can't any other car makers make something this practical? I just wish they would make a hybrid version. The Prius C is big, ugly and expensive. Plus they stopped making it.

I have a '16 spark (later body style) that I bought new as a secondary vehicle that is easier to park than my trucks and of course better gas mileage. My other spare vehicle was a '04 focus 2.3L hatchback. I was very surprised that the spark rides better and is much quieter at highway speeds than the focus was. I get 38mpg with the ac on. Its been trouble free for 75K miles with regular maintenance. It will run at 80 mph keeping up with traffic and is very solid even when passing semis. We have used it for many family vacations and it gets us into parking spaces that other cars have to pass up. The only thing its not good at is snow. Its light and if you are on city roads I'm sure its fine but we live in the country so you don't want to be caught out in it if there is a few inches in the forecast. With rebates and negotiation I bought it new for only $14k and its a 1LT so it has cruise and the bigger screen. Some people just can't get over how small it is though and dislike it but once you have driven one for about a week you really don't notice it because it handles so well.

Good video, you're excellent at explaining 😊

I own a 2015 spark with a manual... fits perfectly in my toyhauler... the only problem I've had at 90k miles was the thermostat went out no biggie easy fix! And the washer fluid nipple broke also a quick fix... but all in all I would buy another one, no doubt.... very dependable but power sucks... will cruise at 80mph no problem down the highway

This car is so shockingly exceeds expectations!!!! I easily get 40-47 MPGs in mixed driving... I've even hypermiled it to 51-56 MPGs, but without the ac at around 40 MPH.

everyone is buying the spark for their kids and just buying them for work cars and i'm over here wanting to trade my 15 corolla s for one lol. i want the LS stock model just because everything is almost manual in it but the touch screen. i hate all the tech in this generation of vehicles but the spark is limited on the tech and that's a plus for me.

Nice car, thanks.

Very nice Review !

I know this vid is a year old but i have a 2015 model manual and man has it been the best!! I got it for 14k with 5 miles now im at 98k! Just came back from a 800 mile drive and i only pumped when i left and at the 500 mile mark

Great Job!

Great car I brought one in Georgia I use it to travel between Georgia and New Jersey great on gas mileage I love the car

Drove my daughter’s 19 from Springfield IL to DC and back; did fine on the highway. I’d consider the Activ model for myself if AWD was available

thank you so much for video. i enjoy it. Have a question for you. I have a lease Honda car which expired in May. Do I can get the 19% incentive deal? :)

Another Awesome Video By Dave B Sells Chevy !!!!!!!!!!

Could you please make a video where you show/drive the 2020 Spark? Also discuss the rebates available this month?

In Canada, the base LS Spark retails for $10,398 (no AC) its an excellent value for your dollar, and only one of 3 vehicles left that GM makes in a manual! I just put my order in on one, hope to get it soonish - What are you guying seeing for delivery time for a Spark that is factory ordered?

Hello from Canada....

Great review btw. I own a 17 and it's annoying that most reviews are for the older model before the redesign. BTW official 0-60 time is about 10.7 seconds, about the norm for subcompacts. However there was a software update to the CVT my car received at the dealer last year that seems to maximize the acceleration at low speeds so it's prob. closer to 10s flat. Hope you don't delete or take offense as a dealer, but the best value for the Spark is easily the LS model if you don't mind a barebones experience. With incentives, they can go to 11k and sometimes even less during the holidays (what I purchased mine for). You do sacrifice power locks and mirrors, but as a mostly solo driver, I don't care too much. Might at some point install some power locks down the line (they're cheap on Amazon), but otherwise, it's identical to the LT for all intents and purposes.

Looking at one as a work commuter with current gas prices. Could I fit child seats in the back of this for my littles?

I just traded my 2016 spark for a 2020. I loved the 2016 so much I just upgraded to the 2020 and I absolutely love the refresh. I got the 1LT in carribean blue with a sunroof and I coudn't be happier. This car is nimble, quick and so much fun to drive.

small but ANNOYING feature that i couldnt find in any other car! The cup holder test!!!! I tried out many cars and my shaker cups (standard gym cup) did not fit in the holder.. so annoying for those that like to drink coffee/tea/shakes ect.- BUT this car passed the "shaker cup" test ! AND looks very attractive on the outside AND the interior seems even more "high quality" than the large more expensive CRUZ- PERFECT car for the Solo driver that wants something awesome!

Hmm, I noticed the Jaguar XJS sport coupe in the parking lot you were passing at 1:36 in the video. I bet there is a huge difference in gas mileage for the Spark 1.4L versus the Jaguar XJS with the V12 engine.

I just bought a 2019 Chevy Spark Lt It is so 👍 the milage Alone is well wroth Buying 😄

Nice blog,new subscriber here.

👍

Im in the Connecticut area, does the rebate on the 19% off price of the vehicle only apply to NJ or is it also in the New England area?

That's it I'm buying one for my daughter.

hey man what was that about the transmition being light i think i heard you about to trash on it

5:55 sounds like an auto trans shifting

Awesome video, but, is it reliable?

They came out as $ 9.800 something. That was a good price. $17k isn't good at all, considering i paid $18k for a cruze (same 1.4l but with a turbo).

Is the digital speedometer standard for all sparks?

can you do a 2018 chevy spark activ? i just got one and i’d like to know all the features:)

is the chevy spark a good first car ??

I want to buy this in California... Any place online to order with options?

Regarding gearbox, it thinks for shifting on high RPMs

I want to know how fast it is. 0-60????

GM should make a "Premier" trim for this car.

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

How about the fuel consumption?

Is there going to be a 2020 ev version anytime soon? Tiny is mighty....

Can you do a review on a Spark with the manual trans?

39.4 city

Has it good quality engine and transmission?

My daughter wants this, but I really want to know just how safe is this car?

How tall are you?

My 2019 gets 44.1 on the Highway with high test.

which schumacher location do you work at?

How do I get ahold of you to make a purchase ?

Test drive the sonic

I want to see a 2019 Astro van

My 2018 Suzuki Gixxer 750cc produces 115hp than the Spark's 94hp. How is this even possible to drive at highway speeds I'm wondering...

Man you gotta do all that shit to go get gas ? 😂

Randy Marion $9999 North Carolina!

I would take a manual transmission once our Explorer dies.

Dude. The base model sells for 10 grand?! Anyone spending 16k, I dint care if its loaded to the gills.. put. The crack pipe down... slowly. Joking aside, yeah the only way to buy this car us heavily discounted not to exceed 10500 OTD. Manual will be more engaging and last far longer. If you really need more options, go for either a Used good car like a Corolla, or Scion... or consider a discounted Toyota iA. I nearly bought one for $13,700 new. Considered a new 10,300 OTD Spark, but cane to my senses and found a 32k mile 15 Scion XB manual for the same.

Of course u will say it is a great car because u work for them.

Lol. I love when car salesman talk about the backup camera being standard like they are going out of their way to protect you. IT'S THE FREAKING LAW. They HAVE to have backup cameras. They have been required for years on new cars in the USA. Don't talk to me like it's something unique to your brand.

" 98 hp is quite impressive" ??...I highly doubt that. Better hang on to that wheel when a semi passes.

Please stop saying "does have."
