I have a 2014 Chevy Spark. It is one of the best cars I have ever had. It has great gas mileage and it's purple, so it has personality. It looks like a skateboard on wheels. It handles beautifully and drives great. it is a stick shift car. The model I have is the basic - it has manual transmission, automatic windows, but not auto door locks. It has a radio, but no cd player. For the price, (I paid less than $10,000 brand new) it is a great little run around town car or even a great long distance car.

Great car for commuting

A few years back I was in the market for a new car. I had previously owned a Chevy and knew that I wanted to buy another one due to the quality of my previous vehicle. However, I had been driving a SUV for several years and was looking for something smaller due to my long commute. I picked the Spark based on these features. Overall, it has been a great car. I have over 100,000 miles on it, and it's still running great. It's the first car I have owned that connects to my phone with Bluetooth, which has been a Godsend for road trips. Unfortunately, there have been a few let downs too, primarily the battery size and life. The battery size used in Chevy Sparks is no longer mass produced, meaning that you have to buy the wrong sized battery if yours goes out - and it will go out. The battery life in these vehicles is pretty poor, and my battery started to go out just one year after I purchased it. I was able to make things work until it finally went completely dead and then I was on the hunt for a battery that would fit. Another downside is just how small the car is. While it's great for commuting, I've also taken it camping which has been an uncomfortable mess. But that's the price you pay when driving something so small. But besides a few downsides, I'd buy this car again. The gas mileage is great, it's reliable, and it works great for my family.
