I’ll update later but I’m doing something bizarre and trading out of my 2012 Mercedes-Benz C250 for something new and a lot less interesting! But It’s got way more gadgets and gizmos than my C250 plus better on gas, more doors (boo...), and I have the ability to start it on my phone.

It will save me a bunch on gas and insurance and be a nice, little commuter car.

Stay tuned my peeps!

Did you get sick of the small niggles all the time, plus that not so perfect repaint? Are you opting for the peace of mind of a commuter appliance?

I’m only asking because I am currently planning on ditching my reliable-yet-boring Accord for something with rings or propellers, but I am not sure if I am cut out for the world of used German luxury. I hate depreciation so I am currently looking for ‘08+ cars with under 100k miles, so no warranties.

I’m in an opposite boat. And it’s funny because going from the Civic to the Volvo c30 backfired.

So I went to an Accord v6.

I miss Volvo. I miss it so so much.

It’s a dangerous switch. But once you do, you’ll never want to go back to honda or Toyota.

Me thinks you’re about to be Cruzing around. Amirite?

Yeah I got tired of all the little nuances. It ended up having issues that never got solved and recently it came up with a “check coolant level” light that came on after sitting and I was looking forward to seeing the reason. I also ended up replacing all 4 tires in the last month due to bolts and belts splitting.

I loved the car’s look and design and wish that I knew what was going on with it. Either way I'm saving money and getting lots of new fancy gadgets.

Don't worry, I would've been much more excited and wouldn't have been saving on gas lol

I find it funny that in the US the Spark is strictly a 4 passenger car (They have a console in the middle seat) and in Mexico they do have the 5 passenger seat option.

I have sold Chevys in the US and had no idea that was even an option

Just in case .

That looks great. Now do we know if this affects the warranty in any way? I’d assume no because of it’s ability to go right back to stock.

Either way I’m highly tempted. Those are massive gains for the little engine especially with no modifications to the car. And I love the ability to turn the Autostop on/off on the fly. Very cool little add-on

I don’t think it would affect it. JayHawk Jake had one of these tunes on his Sonic, so he’d be able to answer better.

I kind of really want this for my 2014 Cruze, but if I'm going to turn it in next spring after my lease I don't really want to spend the money. If I keep it the tune will be the first thing I do.

I feel a real desire to do it. That seems like a huge jump for just programming! Did Jake end up saying if it was worth it. (I mean obviously it is lol)

I'm pretty sure he liked it. It does seem like a pretty decent jump. It seems very much worth it to me.
