I have this car for the last 24months, LT manual version, (0) zero problems !!
I'd buy that, it's cheap and it's a lot better than a used car
I just got one yesterday and I love it so far its very affordable for college students.
I'd totally buy it. It's cheap, nice, clean, and with gas so high, it would save a lot of money
My daughter just bought a 2021 Chevy Spark on her own credit. What a great day! Her last vehicle that we bought for her was a 2005 Hyundai Accent 4-door. What an improvement in technology since 2005!
Im 19 and just bought a 2021 2lt spark with my own credit, down-payment and everything. Super excited and I absolutely love it!! Good for her also, its definitely a great car for young females
Girl omg!! I just bought one too this Sunday! It’s my first car that I had to buy with my own credit and do monthly payments on. It felt like such a huge milestone. Cheers 🤗
I got one of these. I love that it allows for bluetooth, hands-free calls, and the only thing it doesn't have that I'd really like is cruise control. Very affordable, gassing it up it gentle on the wallet.
Yeah. It kinda sucks. But you can’t really expect much for the price. If you want one of these with all the features a more expensive car has you’re going to be spending a lot of money on options. But this thing sips fuel and is pretty zippy for a four cylinder.
I bought a 21 Spark in April of 21. I now have almost 18K miles on it. I like it. Decent ride for what it is, comfortable seat, excellent AC (I'm in Phoeniz AZ so that matters). Decent economy too. Like the radio and the motor is really good on the highway. Pretty quiet and seems to have a sweet spot around 80 to 85 mph. It's an excellent commuter and round the town work car which is what I use it for. But probabaly the best part of it is it's simplicity. I would have bought a manual if they had one in stock at the time but I like all the rest of the manual stuff. Less to go wrong. Oh, and the other best part of it is it's price. I financed the whole thing and still have money to use for other stuff. I'm pleasantly surprised by the car and not happy with GM's decision to drop it.
I just got my Spark yesterday, I’m a big guy but it works great ,I m a old muscule car fan but I do love this car
How's it holding up now ?
@@InsideLookingOut1 still no problems, I have over 21,000 miles now and still enjoy drivingg it
@David Ellis awesome! I'm thinking about getting a used one 50k miles, for my mom but didn't know if it would hold up or be safe (bc it's small). But glad to here it's doing u good my friend =)
Thank you Tom for honoring my request. I love this car and how affordable it is for working class Americans. There used to be a time when the Civic and Corolla were basic reliable A to B vehicles that had crank windows. Now, a fully loaded Corolla or Civic costs around $30,000!
That's why I like this Spark because you can still find one brand spanking new for well under $15,000 after all the discounts. Plus the Corvette team designed the Spark and they designed it to be fun!
You're welcome! I am glad you enjoyed the video.
The Spark is GM Korea (formerly Daewoo) but maybe some former Corvette team members went there?
@@pushbike1324 Yes the Spark is made in South Korea but it's design was created by the Corvette team in the USA. Just like how Apple iPhones are designed in California but made in China.
That’s why I got my fully loaded Corolla XSE used. I think when it was new in 2017 it was probably around $24k. Ridiculous.
I like the Spark. I'm not much into cars, and I got one as a rental. It has a a/c, connects to my phone, great mpg, and cheap insurance! Thats all I really car about. 🤷♂️
Thank you for sharing your experience! 👍
A lot of people are buying these up at my local chevy dealerships and now i'm curious haha.
I own a 2017 & 2019 can't wait to get my 3rd! Great cars!!
Love this car. I have a 2021 spark. Passion fruit. So cute. 😍
Update on my 2021 Chevy Spark purchased December 2020. I still love it! Drives so smooth. Bought it for city driving only. The basic model has a backup camera and tire pressure guage inside car that tells each individual tires pressure. Got use to manual windows and door locks. Quiet ride.
Thank you for taking time to share, Joan!
how much did you buy it please
Awesome review and your voice is so perfect for these videos. Thanks!
Thank you! Thank you for taking the time to watch and for your kind words.
I've hit 100 on the Garden State Parkway, in my 2020 Chevy Spark, when I was running late for work but it was only once. Knowing that it is a small engine, I try not to hit 3000 RPMs too much. However, it does 2000 RPMs with no complaints; and, that takes it to over 70 MPH on the regular. I also dutifully change the oil on the regular and earlier than recommended by the Owner's manual. Truly a fun and economical car to drive. Thank you Scotty Kilmer!
Thank you for sharing but I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry at the last part of your comment. 😂
@@VehicleVisionary I came across his video when he was reviewing the Chevy Spark. If it weren't for that video, I would be driving a Versa. Then I wouldn't know how great the Spark is.
@@VehicleVisionary You should laugh. If Scotty says that it's a good car, then it has the approval of his 5.7 million subscribers.
And it’s even great for a 46 year old man who’s broke! Lol haha love my 21 it blue also .. so not just for teens lol...
I had a 2020 Spark that I traded for a new Camaro. I miss the Spark bad so going to buy another. The no frills equipment is the best feature, nothing to break. On my 2020 I take the backseat out so my Labrador Retriever has her own space. Can haul alot is stuff with no back seat.
Thank you for sharing, Brad!
I have a 2020 and next week I'm getting a 2021. I out about 40k miles a year in a car. The 42 I put on my 2020 has been flawless. I love the little Spark. I am also 6.5 and have no problem fitting in it. It is 15,400 with a 1500 cash rebate right now.
Thank you for sharing, Cory! Some people have been asking about how well someone over 6 ft tall will fit in the Spark.
I love this car. It may not have a lot of bells and whistles but the drive is really nice
I agree! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leaver a comment, John.
I have a 2019 with an automatic transmission. It sails along great on the interstate. I would recommend you get a stick shift.
I drive a 2020 Spark. I wish it had a little bit more leg room. Not a lot. Just an inch here and there.
It already has an inch more legroom than the 2020 Trax!
Great video and car!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Other than that silver in the front I haven’t seen much of a difference in this and the 2018 I just bought. We have no issue getting to speed it’s fun to drive for my first
You are correct about that. Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Have a great day!
I've had the 2021 Spark 1LT for 3 years now and although the battery did need to get replaced while under warranty, it has served me very well and I don't plan on switching anytime soon
I have a 2021 that I bought a few days ago and I keep hearing mixed reviews on the cvt engine, this one has a mileage of 63k, do you have to actually flush the transmission every 30k?? Is it reliable? I am considering returning it because everyone says to stay away from cvt transmissions 😢
Absolutely, only the 5 speed base WITHOUT A/C!! So I can get 55mpg highway @60mph. Can't believe the base model has a rear back cam and Bluetooth touchscreen infotainment AT THAT!!! I DONT KNOW WHY BUT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE ASLEEP ON THIS CAR!! The way these soaring GAS prices are going. If everyone bought these and just used it for commuting to work ONLY. If Everyone is buying smaller amounts of gas at a time it will absolutely Force these big wig gas companies to drop these prices for gas. They are truly trying to force electric car sales. That way they can skyrocket electricity prices. Hell 9 gallon fill ups that lasts 2 weeks if only using this car for work only. Edit: if everyone driving. These forces days without cars going to the pumps. THEY WILL FLIP THERE THEIR WIGS WHEN YOU DONT SEE CARS AT THE PUMPS HARDLY AT ALL.
And the People will get the final laugh and not be ran over for GAS ANYMORE. GAS CAN NOT BE OUT DATED BY ELECTRIC CARS. IF EVERYONE GOES ELECTRIC YOUR CAR CAN BE TOLD TO SHUT OFF FROM THE FACTORY.
@@stevemaxey4808I guess you're in Canada when you said no A/C that's pretty bare bones indeed😁. Betcha you're still getting the last laugh with the gas mileage though and of course with 5 speed you got tons of fun😎
I like it wish they made more models like this
is the ride comfortable? are the seats good? My civic 2019 has a veird angle., such that you have to extend your right leg to reach the gas pedal. I have tried maneuvering and adjustment of the seat and the wheel but still.....
Great review!
Thank you!
Great video. I despise piano black plastic in any car so I'd have to get an aftermarket trim kit, but base cars are right up my flue. And so hard to find.
Never had a car with power windows or cruise [that worked], so yeah, I'd do that and go back to a manual [even tho my 63 Valiant has three on the tree], the other two are automatic [3 and 4 speeds].
Thank you for taking the time to share!
i have had my 2021 spark now for 4 weeks i put on 2,400 miles it is the LS model with manual 5 speed completely base model everything is manual if i drive conservatively shifting every 2k rpm and keep it under 62 i get 44 mpg with is awesome i only wish it had a bigger fuel tank but i suppose the 9 gallons is enough .. its awesome to pull up to a gas station and fill up for less than $20
Thank you for taking the time to watch and share your experience.
@tranz15..i am planning to buy 2021 chevy spark base model manual transmission..please let me know your suggestions
@@tom39009 currently 5,200 miles still no problems as a new car it shouldnt have any at this mileage still getting 39-42 mpg depending on how i drive and what speeds .. if possible i would recommend renting the car first from a place like enterprise ect ( they only have automatics but the ride and handling will be the same a little more sluggish tho )... to see how you like it .. only complaints i have so far is the sun visor is small so if the sun is directly to the driver side window it doesnt cover it, would like a 6 speed insted of 5 at 70mph the engine is turning 3,000 rpm, .. as well as no cruise being a base car i understand why but it would help greatly cruising down the interstate to maintain speed .. the car loves to run and if i dont watch what im doing on a long straight 3 lane interstate i'll be up at 80mph or better
The bar bones means less to tear up no window motors to replace when they go out or window switches to mess up an to replace
Omg you’re from Shreveport?? Me too!!!
They’re really pushing the Caribbean Blue. My grandchild calls my 84 hp 2014 a race car cuz the previous owner put faux carbon fiber racing stripes on the hood. Would like to see you test drive the 5 speed and give your thoughts.
If I can get my hands on a 5-speed Spark, I will definitely do that for you. Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment.
For me an amputee, is there enough room for a hand control to use for acceleration and braking combined??thanks.
Do you happen to know the measurements for the equipment you would need? If I had that I can go measure inside the vehicle and find out for you.
@@VehicleVisionary no I don't know what the measurements are. I have seen the pics about it on Winnebagos website. It interest me to see in person but no dealer has one around the Omaha Council Bluffs , Iowa area. I checked.
@@richardziemies8247 THank you for the info, Richard. I want to make sure I give you the right answer.
Are all the sparks 120mph?
i am this close to going out to buy one...my 07 cobalt is base...i love me some base !
I did it! Bought a summit white 21 Spark. Thanks for the review!
@@Migz_Ate_Nein Congratulations. I keep coming back to this or a Mirage.
The 1 lt model has cruise control and power windows and mirrors i paid 16,000 or my 1 lt
I love this car. I really want one, but I would get the highest trim level one with leather and heated seats!
Hey Cam! I just got the Passionfruit 2021 Spark in the 2LT trim. It’s well worth it! I’m used to driving cars w cloth seats so the hot leather is a surprise for me xD but overall I love it. Cheers and I hope you get yours soon too!!
I wish some company made an aftermarket turbo kit . Heck they should have come with option of the sonics turbo 1.4 and the activ should have come with the first gen Chevy trax AWD power train.
I hate all the technology today. I've had a lot of fancy cars but I love simple cars better. I had a 2013 Spark that was awesome and I'm thinking of buying a 2021.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave some great feedback. Your comment made me wonder if any auto makers have done research to find out how many people, such as yourself, or out there who they could serve with vehicles like this. I would imagine there are quite a few.
@@VehicleVisionary You're welcome. I can't be the only one. I like basic cars and trucks that are well made and reasonably priced.
My dad is that way. He got a base H-RV. No push button, touchscreen, anything like that.
Do it!
I have a spark I love it love it love it although I went from a v8 to this it took a little while to control my lead foot l…baby blue to blue 2.0 😍
Thank you for sharing!
I love my ZOOM ZOOM car!! I’m 45!!!
I’m giving my 18 year old my son my car when he graduates high school this year. I’m going to buy a Spark, drive it for two years, then give it to my other son when he graduates. Maybe then it will be time for mamas dream car😂.
A channel with actual, helpful info on its maintenance would be great. The channels that are available on youtube offer inaccurate or incomplete information.
Does a Chevrolet Spark 2021 have a timing belt or timing chain in
Timing chain. So did the 2013-2015 model although that had the older S-Tec 1.2L engine. The old Aveo/G3 had a timing belt.
@@0pelman thank you
Timing suspenders. As designed by the GM Corvette team.
Recorded horizontally:)
Got my 2020 LS auto for $12'700 with no negotiation.
Wow! Great job. Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment.
@@VehicleVisionary Chevy had a deal last summer 15% off all leftover 2020's..no bs,no hassle.Basically called the dealer and said "I'll take that one..I'll be down there in an hour,get it ready. Probably could have got it even cheaper if I wanted to dicker all day.
Strange how Chevy is taking away the engine temp gauge from these economy cars.
You think thats strange. Every new Subaru doesn’t come with a temp gauge
@@HOTPLATEGAMING really? Woah. Im hearing Mazda is doing the same thing.
I wonder if it atleast has a display 🤔
Is there any way to get power windows?
The short answer is: yes, you can. However, there are some things you should know before converting the manual windows in your car to power windows. Adding power windows and locks to a vehicle includes wiring the car, adding power devices, retrofitting the door, and adding switches.
Power windows are available on the 1LT model of the Spark.
Please I learned how to drive stick and roll down windows from a crack but I own LT of the spark love it there's nothing wrong with it and most female I talk to says it cute
What trim model?
LS
That is $400 premium color.
it needs a cb radio
LOL that is one of the best comments I’ve seen in a long time!
Lol
@@VehicleVisionary
Imagine Burt Reynolds in a Chevy Spark .
I own one
8:33 That thing couldn't hit 120mph if it fell from space
I saw a guy close the hood with the palm of his hand. Put a nice dent in it. Cheap!
Who would do that? That's on him. I love these cars
Yes...it’s cheap. That’s the appeal. Moral: don’t close a hood with your palm on one of the cheapest new cars in the USA.
They need to change the back door handle to make it look like a standard car.
Better buy a Hyundai accent or Nissan versa in this range. If price was around 12k then it would be worth the price.
