2014 Chevrolet Spark consumer reviews

I love the economical feature great on gas and every one says its so small till they get inside and it's so comfortable lots of room. Love my new Spark

I was in the market for a small hatchback econocar and even I was surprised I choose a base 2014 SPARK LS 5 - SPEED. I wanted a stick and here was a well equipped Spark at a great price.The LS has more standard features than a car in the micro class has a right to. The only things I miss are cruise control and power locks. The standard features include power windows, electric power steering, A/C, ABS, traction and stability control, 15 inch alloy wheels and even a trip computer. and ON-STAR ! The ride is excellent for such a small car and the suspension is well tuned for good handling. It also has more cargo space than many of it's sub-compact big brothers 31.2 cubic feet. AMAZING ! It is also a 4-door and rear seat access is excellent. Build quality is EXCELLENT it couldn't be better if it was a euopean luxury car. Not a stitch out of place or a door gap out of line. The paint far nicer than you would expect. The interior has mostly inexpensive hard surface materials but is visually atractive and ergonomicly well done. Not a sqeak or rattle or even wind noise intrude on iterior noise but just a bit of road noise from the tires. a small price to pay. The body styling is very pleasing and just a bit shocking. Mine is blue but they really look great in red. Now for the real reason for buying a small car. The Spark is a very low maintainance car,it never needs a timing belt change ( it has a lifetime chain ) and doesn't need a tune-up until 100,000 mi. It won't win many drag races but it really has plenty of power for real world driving. I drive high speed highway, city and rural mountain roads and the 5-speed Spark handles it all with ease. The 1249cc engine is an extremely smooth free reving and pleasant. The EPA gas milage ratings are 31 mpg city and 39mpg highway 34 mpg combined. That being said I get an astonishing 43.5 mpg combined with ease. Put that all together with a good warranty and 5 years fee roadside assistance and 2 years free maintnance the Spark is a fantastic deal and worth a look if you need inexpensive transpotation. I'm glad I bought a Spark and will consider buying another in the future.

I've had my Chevy Spark since September of 2014. I was a first time car buyer who needed a cheap yet reliable car to commute to college. This car is exactly what I needed. Although it isn't fancy, it works well for commuting. I would recommend this car to people who are simple in nature but enjoy a little fun.

I own this car (2014 Spark LT 5-speed) I have 25,000 Miles on it. Performance: With the 5-speed, it's pretty quick, quick enough to merge on the freeway and keep up with 65-70 MPH traffic, or to pass someone; Much faster that 82HP would seem, but, not a sports car by any means. (I wish there was more gear spacing between 4th and 5th) Gas Mileage: I Get about 35-38 MPG per tank in mixed driving (about 60/40 city/freeway) up to 42 mpg on nice flat highway drive. Ride: Somewhat rough. It's small and light so it has trouble absorbing bumps, but it is stable and can corner pretty well. Noise: Is pretty noisy; doesn't seem to be much sound deadening. Perhaps to save weight. Could be something that I add myself. Reliability: Good so far, had 3 recalls, but have been done without trouble. The A/C works better after the recall. Only issue I have had is my my front rotors seem to have overheated and now have a slight "warp" to them which is a mild annoyance, but not a big problem. Room: I'm 5'11" and I fit just fine with my children behind me. Fits 4 adults nicely for trips around town, which is unheard of in it's category.(500, IQ, Smart) Has a LITTLE cargo space with seats up (small grocery trip) and quite a bit with the seats down (Costco trip) Price: Got the base model, so VERY CHEAP! ($12k) Adding in the good mileage and the fact that the oil change interval (according to the computer is about 8000 Miles) AND that there is NOT a timing belt due every 90K makes this one of the cheapest cars to own in the US.

I had this vehicle as a rental. I requested an economy car, but had no idea what I was in store for. When my wife and I picked this car up off the lot, I thought that it didn't have a trunk. It does, but room for only a backpack or 2. This car looks like a roller skate. It had the acceleration of a golf cart. The interior is similar to a golf cart as well. There is not a dash board, only a speedometer and a tachometer mounted above the steering wheel. The only thing that I could see that this car is a good fit for is a cheap rental for a week on the beach, which if that is what you want, it is ideal. Owning one, I couldn't figure out who would want this. The fuel economy is good, but however, my Sentra, which is a much better overall vehicle, gets better mpg's than this thing. It is the studio apartment of the vehicle world.

I love the Spark, but the paint job seems cheap-very thin coat of clear coat it seems. LOTS of paint chips even with only highway driving and less than 5000 miles.

A great little car. I smile each time I drive it. Fun to drive and so easy to get around town in it. Does a great job on the highway also.

i come to the dealership looking for my next car, We had a lot of fun with our sales person Frank, because he is as old or older then us. we picked out a red one. and are considering a silver one.

I have had my spark for a couple months and I love it...I agree with another buyer,it doesnt have much pull out power,and it seems it dont change gears like most cars.,But I took it where I bought it and they are great,,,He drove it with me for several minutes and assured me thats how they drive..and it is kinda noisy inside,But thats ok,,,I love my new car....Thank You Bachman Bernard......

I've had this car for about 5 months now, and i love it except for speed, its not a race car but great gas mileage, I am 5' 10" and i fit with space to spare some say its noisy inside but i think its fine. Just a fun all around fun car to drive with 10 airbags 10 AIRBAGS !!!
