There are not many vehicles left with manual door locks, mirrors, and window cranks, but the 2021 Chevrolet Spark is one of those very types of vehicles. See the full tour on today’s Vehicle Visionary video.

I got one of these. I love that it allows for bluetooth, hands-free calls, and the only thing it doesn't have that I'd really like is cruise control. Very affordable, gassing it up it gentle on the wallet.

Yeah. It kinda sucks. But you can’t really expect much for the price. If you want one of these with all the features a more expensive car has you’re going to be spending a lot of money on options. But this thing sips fuel and is pretty zippy for a four cylinder.

I bought a 21 Spark in April of 21. I now have almost 18K miles on it. I like it. Decent ride for what it is, comfortable seat, excellent AC (I'm in Phoeniz AZ so that matters). Decent economy too. Like the radio and the motor is really good on the highway. Pretty quiet and seems to have a sweet spot around 80 to 85 mph. It's an excellent commuter and round the town work car which is what I use it for. But probabaly the best part of it is it's simplicity. I would have bought a manual if they had one in stock at the time but I like all the rest of the manual stuff. Less to go wrong. Oh, and the other best part of it is it's price. I financed the whole thing and still have money to use for other stuff. I'm pleasantly surprised by the car and not happy with GM's decision to drop it.

Thank you Tom for honoring my request. I love this car and how affordable it is for working class Americans. There used to be a time when the Civic and Corolla were basic reliable A to B vehicles that had crank windows. Now, a fully loaded Corolla or Civic costs around $30,000! That's why I like this Spark because you can still find one brand spanking new for well under $15,000 after all the discounts. Plus the Corvette team designed the Spark and they designed it to be fun!

I've hit 100 on the Garden State Parkway, in my 2020 Chevy Spark, when I was running late for work but it was only once. Knowing that it is a small engine, I try not to hit 3000 RPMs too much. However, it does 2000 RPMs with no complaints; and, that takes it to over 70 MPH on the regular. I also dutifully change the oil on the regular and earlier than recommended by the Owner's manual. Truly a fun and economical car to drive. Thank you Scotty Kilmer!

I DONT KNOW WHY BUT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE ASLEEP ON THIS CAR!! The way these soaring GAS prices are going. If everyone bought these and just used it for commuting to work ONLY. If Everyone is buying smaller amounts of gas at a time it will absolutely Force these big wig gas companies to drop these prices for gas. They are truly trying to force electric car sales. That way they can skyrocket electricity prices. Hell 9 gallon fill ups that lasts 2 weeks if only using this car for work only. Edit: if everyone driving.
