With dat 5-speed manual!

It's so small! Yet I comfortably fit in it!

Look at the little exhaust, trying to be sporty!

And the little roof rails, trying to act like it can be even mildly utilitarian.

I like it. And that price.

For a tiny city car it seems pretty useful.

Why would anyone buy this? A manual Sonic hatchback with turbo and MyLink is only like $1500 more before incentives.

I don't hate the Spark, I just don't see the point.

There's a guy around here that runs pizzas around in one. His is red with black racing stripes. Seems like the perfect car for the job,

I LOVE the Spark. I seriously think it is one of my favourite Chevys right now. In my city there is actually a Club where Spark owners bring their modified cars and chat and do stuff.

People want a smaller car than the Sonic that's even more economical? I dunno, once you start getting into higher trim levels in this car it doesn't make much sense.

I'm saying why pay that much for one. If you want an economical smaller car get a Mirage

That's awesome. I love it when a car has a following behind it.

Is that blue a factory color down there? That looks really nice.

People don't want a complete penalty box. The Spark looks a lot better than the Mirage anyway.

Don't be lured in by the price...that car sucks on unimaginable levels.

It is! We have the usual Black, White, Red, Silver, then we have this dark blue one, the Jalapeno green, the lemonade yellow, and the Pink. They all sell, and you can see all of them on the roads.

We get a lighter blue called Denim. I like the darker one better!

It can't be that bad! It's a little city car on a short wheelbase with the wheels shoved to the corners. That's the ideal formula for something fun to drive at slow speeds.

I'm just sharing my experience with that car. When I first saw it, I thought the same thing as you, after having driven one, my mind changed completely.

Did the one you drive have the manual transmission?

It looks better in your opinion. I hate the front of the spark, the headlights are approximately 300% too large. They should have made it look like a Sonic

The people would've bitched it looks too much like a Sonic.

But the Sonic is the most attractive subcompact in the US
