HUGE little car.

Great car. I'm 6'2" and i can sit comfortably in any seat in the car. I have owned the car for a month and have only put $60 in the tank. Thats with holiday travel. I bought the car for my daughter but I might keep it for myself.

Very pleased

Handles well, feels solid, surprisingly roomy, attractive interior, wife loves the color(pinkish) and size. Controls are attractive, but take a short time to get used to. Acceleration is a little sluggish, but sufficient. 7,000 miles no problems. Averaging around 37 mpg, half highway, half city. I am 6 foot 190, fit fine in front or back. Very happy with purchase and especially price.

only a week

I bought this for my wife & granddaughter to use, my wife has driven it once lol. I got the 1lt auto for the cruze control, & auto because the grand daughter doesnt know what standard transmission is. The money we are saving, in gas, will almost make the payments! The wife has her relay still, for when the 7 of us need to go somewhere, but the spark doesnt sit still for long. They both love it.

Big things come in small packages

For one of the least expensive cars this little baby really impresses. I love the handling, looks and the MyLink capabilities. Add in good gas mileage and you have a great car. I average buying at least 2 cars a year and Sparky impresses me more than the others.

Getting disappointed

Part malfunction within the first 2 weeks of purchase caused oil light to ding loudly/intermittently. Very inconvenient to get fixed at dealer. Service hours are 7-7, but the mechanics leave at 5:30? Now I have had to have my first oil change. My usual place informed me the filter is a "dealer only" part. They don't share. So I have to take another day off work and a couple of hours out of my life for an oil change. I don't believe that is reasonable. Ready to trade it off after 4 months of ownership.

Great bang for the buck, surprisingly refined.

Have had my 5 speed Spark for a month. Still can't get over the quiet and comfort from this little go cart. I opted for the 5 speed as my commute is easy and the automatic seemed to work a bit too hard. My friends made fun of it initially till they took rides in it (4 at a time max). Chevy has a little winner here at under 13k for the base model that gets 31-35 around town.

Great small car

This Chevy Spark is terrific! The exterior styling is eye-catching and the colors offered can warm a lady's heart. The electric steering is fantastic, smooth, responsive, all together wonderful. Comfort is not like a luxury car but one does not buy the Spark for comfort: good mileage, responsive (0 to 35 almost instantly from a standstill) gas savings!! attractive, OnStar and satellite radio. What more could one ask for in a small car at this price? = easy on the wallet.
