This is the car that most people should be driving.
Agreed its a fantastic city car!
This is the car that most people should be renting*
Agree
I have a Chevy Spark 2013 bought it new and no problems at all after 6 years.I love it drives great with 39 miles a gallon but the new ones make me jealous lol
Nice to hear your Spark has treated you well, it sure is a nice little car! You going to maybe upgrade to the Activ model? Thanks for the comment.
Me too. Bought mine in 17 I hqbe 36 thousand miles on it and I absolutely love it. In fact I want to buy another one .
For some reason the new sparks remind me of a Corvette I don't know why
I just got a 2017 with a sunroof. Worth it! And it is very quiet on the highway. I filled my gas tank with only 11 bucks!
Also I've noticed that this car comes in several unique colors. Mint, lavender, and gold orange for example.
If you're skeptical, don't be. This car is made for single mothers, teen drivers, young and singles, or couples!
The only cons for me are how slow it is when you're trying to cross over into traffic. You can't floor it with this car. Another thing is if your kinda big, its a little uncomfortable, the seats.
i bought 2017 brand new and let me tell i love it. Not a single problem i have 46 thousand miles knock on wood. Its very smooth and fun car to drive m It drives big . When I'm in it doesn't feel small at all. I've been thinking about buying another one . Please GM don't change a thing about this car anything.
Good to know that the Corvette team had some extra time on their hands to improve the least expensive car in the US. I had a 2014 LS manual which was efficient and fun to drive, but traded in for a 2022 LT1 CVT. More conventional appearance. Hard plastic throughout with improved fabrics. Power windows, locks, rear view camera, alarm system, cruise control, apple/android car play, and 10 airbags. So far, so good. Never thought I’d buy a GM product, but I’m okay with this one. Use it as a commuter car.
It's nice to hear Another Citizen is enjoying GM's Conquest Car and you too, lol! Cheers.
I bought my Chevy spark in 2018. Was a left over from 17 with no miles on it. I absolutely love my spark . O problems so far 36 thousand miles on it. I plan on buying another one . I did countless research on ever car think of all had recalls and problems with them . This was only car I didn't find any problems non them at all. It's a fun car drives great for what it is. I was worried about CVT engine so problems what's so ever . Never even feels like I have CVT engine. I highly recommend this vehicle.
Great news Henry it is a great little car! Appreciate the comment, if I can I'll help you out... your engine is an engine your transmission is the CVT! wink!
@@WesternGMDrumheller I knew that . I don't know why I said it like that .
Just got a 2021 2LT Pasionfruit Spark :D I love it. It’s so fun to drive, love the two seats in the back, and it’s perfect.
Passionfruit and Marshmallow are my two favorite colors, so great choice, Congratulations!
I have been thinking of trading my silverado to a smaller class car ,you have convinced me that the spark is the one,thanks.
Congratulations Gerry, you'll really get the "miles" out of the Spark both long term and fuel economy wise, cheers!
Mine has the surprise of windshield washer fluid on back window!
Your video was so informative and helpful! I’m going to test drive a 2020 2LT model tomorrow and you’ve really helped me make my decision! I think I’m going to buy it ^-^
I really appreciate your comments, cheers! Before you purchase its always a good idea to get a 3rd party inspection done at a different dealership/service center when buying something used and make sure you look at the CarFax Accident History report too ok, cheers!
I was skeptical in getting my 2019 Spark 1LT but I love it
Thanks for the comment, we have one in our Service Department as a loaner car to run around town in and its funny to watch all the big SUV and Truck owners come back and say, "that's a fun little car, wow!"
I love mine . When i was looking gor a new car to buy i reviewed at least 30 cars and this was only car didn't have any recalls bad one's or any transmission or engine problems at all. CVT must change fluid and filter gear make it last way past 100 thousand miles. Very important with CVT
If you're planning on driving this until the wheels fall off, get the manual transmission. It'll last way longer. If you're planning on trading it in for another car within 10 years, get the automatic and trade it once it hits 100k to 115k miles.
I just got my 2020 activ and it’s amazing ! I love it
NICE I wish we have the Active here in Canada...so you strapping Ski's or a Surf board to the roof?
Stable on the freeway at 80MPH in California; and not even noisy.
Tight little cars for sure, appreciate the comment!
Is sun roof, heated seats and manual transmission available?
In Canada you can get a 1LT with manual transmission and sunroof (heated seats only on 2LT) but you can add aftermarket heated seats for roughly $500. Appreciate the comments, cheers!
I get the car from local distributors in my country (Israel) the spark LT without Engine Cover at all. I ask them and they say that not necessary.
Do you know what if i really need Engine Cover (i buy) and what is it functional?
At cars form they say to me :
Reduce engine noise
Heat protection to the wires
Hey Boaz the engine shield is mainly for reduced engine noise, protection of the wires from water when cleaning the engine compartment and lastly aesthetics aka it looks nicer more finished.
@@WesternGMDrumheller I understand now. I try to buy it from local distributors
Thanks for this review! You helped me make a decision! Super excited to get this!!
Appreciate the kind words, cheers!
There are only 5 gas powered cars in Canada?
Thx for the review, how does this compared to the LS version?
Don't know if it's too late but the ls lacks mostly luxury item like power windows and locks and cruise control
Can you update the multimedia system from OTA or at main service center of GM?
To my knowledge yes if you replace the whole head unit, its not just a program. I guess their are RAM memory & CPU differences between the different infotainment systems.
@@WesternGMDrumheller I ask at local center GM, they say only when GM release a new version, they will update my system when I do 15 km treatment for car
but the back part does it have bars in place if the back gets pushed in...saw vid where the back end test where it got pushed in was not...
For sure its safe it didn't pass the saftey tests NHTSA and Transport Canada wouldn't let them be on the road, appreciate the comment, cheers!
@@WesternGMDrumheller oh ok just thought I would ask...if roll bar type stuff in back
Good job with the overview. I hate the rear fender line, but it's otherwise a nice little cart!
Appreciate the kind works kinger! Cheers!
can i custom from the screen system or from android auto the voice control like : dial from somebody from my phone, open app like waze or Google maps, open my building gate when i come close to the gate and so on like at Suzuki Vitra 1.4 turbo?
Android auto controls a bunch of approved automotive apps using voice commands including dialing and texting from your phone book, using waze and google maps. It won't open a gate to my knowledge if that helps?!
@@WesternGMDrumheller Thanks for your help!
Carrie won't tell me if a 2021 spark as a timing belt or timing chain in it please
The 2021 Chevrolet Spark is a timing chained engine.
How come it dosent have keyless entry alarm can i have one installed somewhere
Hey Cedric it does have keyless entry with panic alarm on the fob. It just doesn't have push button start, cheers!
@@WesternGMDrumheller oh ok thanks for info so do i half buy just keyless entry only
I meant do i buy push button start only and can auto matctic doors be installed i just have ls keys no buttons on them
I was given 1 key no buttons but they told me they found other key hope its one on that key they have at dealer with the buttons
Sorry Cedric maybe I'm misunderstanding something so I'll start from the top. The LS and 1LT trims have a traditional key fob with a jack knife key built into it. The 2LT and Active (US model) trims have the passive keyless system with pushbutton start. So they all have keyless entry and alarms but only the top two trims have the passive systems with pushbutton start, hope that makes more sense, cheers!
Great detailed review! Thx!
شكرا لك بالفعل انها سيارة اقتصادية جدا ومريحة في الطريق 👍👍
I'll translate this for our Viewers..."Thank you indeed. It's a very economical and comfortable car on the road"
Appreciate comment, cheers!
I bought a 2019 Chevy Spark 5 speed manual with roll-up windows no power locks for $9,995 it's been a great little car I put over 20,000 miles on it in one year the manual transmission is a fun little car it also has Hill assistant so it will not roll back when you start on a hill I think with the 5-speed manual this car is going to run forever if I take care of it you get a lot of technology for the price I'm even going to buy another one and in7 or 10 years I will just get rid of this one and drive my brand new one that's sitting in the driveway
Cool feedback super glad your loving it! I personally love the 5spd manual but unfortunately way to many people don't want to drive stick anymore, sigh! Appreciate the comments, cheers!
Me too. I live my 17 spark. 0 problems with the car so far 36 thousand miles on it and I want to buy another one.
Nice!
Congratulations!
does this come in lime green?
Hey Sdot it doesn't in Canada or the US for 2020 but the Orange Burst or Toasted Marshmallow look awesome!
Passion Fruit it's a light purple looks pretty decent
"has springs and shocks in the rear"... Also has 4 tires standard lol
your correct, didn't think I had to point out tires but your probably right if I don't point them out soon someone might get confused and comment on it, lol!
what is the difference between 2019 to 2020 at LT+ model?
The Spark was re-designed (Second Generation) for 2015 there were no changes from 2019 to 2020. Thanks for the comment!
@@WesternGMDrumheller Thanks for your help
How much do they want for the "sled"?
Too much! lol
Is there a new model of spark for 2020 like the new i10?
Its due for a complete re-design for 2021! The 2020 is the fourth generation Spark and its at the peak of its reliability and in its last year of production of the fourth gen. I would expect it to be released around August or September later this year as a 2021 but its also possible that thy release it as a 2022 in March of 2021. I personally don't like it when Auto Manufactures do this (release a next year model at the start of a new year) but they ALL do it, lol, cheers!
@@WesternGMDrumheller I also hear that the new model for 2021 will be announced at November 2020
I haven't gotten much info from GM Canada yet but if they do announce it in November 2020 it would likely be available for purchase 2-3 months after the announcement!
50 mpg highway "Canadian" is not @ 110kph. You can expect around 38 highway and 30 city real life.
I have personally used this 2020 Spark to drive 300kms round trip with my cruise set to 104kms and I got 6.1L per/100 kms which is 46MPG CAD which is 38MPG US. Are you getting 38US or CAD out of yours?
@@WesternGMDrumheller I don't have a a Spark but I have the same class of car. You just demonstrated how Canada does it's fuel mileage ratings. They test the car at around 90 to 100 km/h on a straight road with no hills. Of course your going to get great fuel efficiency traveling at such a slow highway speed. What I'm saying is over 110 kmh, which is normal highway speed, you'll get about 38mpg.
When I bought a 2006 Toyota Yaris, they claimed it would also get 50MPG. It never did. But it would get 30 and over no matter how hard I drove it. It only got about 38 mpg at normal trans Canada speeds
MPG doesn't change by nation. It's the exact same car the Americans use.
What these cars are really built for is city traffic. You could live at one end of a huge metropolis and your job at at the other. Cars like these get around 30mpg city mileage.
However, Canada ALWAYS exaggerates the highway mpg in cars.
Great review.
Thank you for the kind words!
Me going on saturday to do test drive
love it
Appreciate the comment!
Is this made in Korea like the Aveo?
Here's the skinny sir...The Chevrolet Spark is a city car produced by GM Korea, originally marketed prominently as the Daewoo Matiz. It has been available solely as a five-door hatchback. The first generation of Daewoo Matiz was launched in 1998 by General Motors' South Korean division GM Korea, previously known as Daewoo Motors, replacing the Daewoo Tico. After the General Motors company took control over Daewoo Motors in 2002, it has increasingly been marketed under the Chevrolet badge. The second generation model was introduced in 2005, with the third generation launched in 2010.
@@WesternGMDrumheller I thought it was American. Lol!
@@ajl2232 AJ its as American as anything else, lol, Apple is the second largest company in America and its all made in China.
i want to like this little car and think it looks good, but I'm scared of its reliability.
Its reliability has been proven to be very good across the globe.
@@WesternGMDrumhellerI've seen all those snooty car review websites and they just don't do it justice. They all call it the "cheapest" car but as you pointed out here it's not a "cheap" car by any means. Very well put together in so many ways
@@resetsetmefree478 appreciate the kind words cheers!!
@@WesternGMDrumheller hey thanks so much 🙂 it's such a bummer these were discontinued.... And yet mitsubishi still has the mirage. I've also looked at that one but when compared to the Spark, the mirage is just nowhere near as good! Have you heard any rumors about if or when the Spark or a similar model might make a comeback?
I love my spark it fun car my girlfriend loves over her corolla witch is funny
Stephen its because the Spark is so fun with that Corvette team touch, Appreciate the comments, cheers!
On Halloween I saw a which.
ls trim, 5speed manual, 12 feet long, 1.15 hp/ci (race engine), 45 mpg (with coasting), 12 airbags (NOT 10),
ZERO buttons on steering wheel, $11,500 new, girls think it's cute.
Thanks for the air bag correction, 10 STANDARD AIRBAGS. #MistakesWereMade
*comfortable.

Welcome to the school of hard knocks. We offer elite sales training where you talk to very friendly people who are looking for a new vehicle then they randomly kick you in the balls when your least expecting it for about 3years. Your 3yr diploma is guaranteed to make you a 20 car a month salesmen! I'm taking applications you in Webster?
The CVT MUST BE MAINTAINED AND SERVICED EVERY 35K, MILES... THE VIDEO IS DEAD WRONG ABOUT NO MAINTENANCE REQUIRED!!!!
Says the guy with Mustang GT as his user name, ROFL...Bro! Anyways the TRUTH is NORMAL maintenance on the manual transmission is done every 96,500miles or 156,000kms. There is no maintenance to do on the CVT unless your fluids are dark. Under normal usage that maintenance might be NEVER but under severe conditions it could be every 45,000miles.
He try to make it sound cheap . 17,900.
A car for beginners drivers .
Or drivers not raking it in.
Sad, left from INDIA...✨😔
I agree.
Rental car at best. Ain’t no way I’d buy this car new. Rather buy a use Corolla or a civic
Spend a day driving around a city in one and it will change your mind. Great on fuel and fun to drive, cheers.
So you sell Chevys and you're reviewing a Chevy?
Anyone else see a problem here?
The problem your seeing isn't there Simon. Our video's do not say our products are the pinnacle or that they are better than such and such. Our video's are about giving you, in the comfort of your home, a review of the options and features of a New Chev, Buick or GMC vehicle so you can decide if its worth your time to go to a dealership and test-drive one. Appreciate the comment.
Expensive compared to better cars such as yairs, accent, rio and so on
Better in which way because your incorrect about it being Expensive. The Accent & Rio are far off in quality of the Spark. However I do agree the Yairs is a great little car! But if you were to drive them back to back you will find the Yairs is tinny and loud inside the cabin and that the Spark is not only quieter but its more refined. When was the last time you drove a Spark or Yairs? What model years were they?
This is not a good escape car.
Can't say that I've tried...but usually extreme speed is more important in an escape vehicle so you're probably correct!
WesternGMDrumheller Well it is a fact. It’s a good commuter car though despite it’s small size and American. Been watching a lot of reviews about this car but your review was just fun to watch. I need a car just for daily drive to work and might consider this.😉
Appreciate the kind words, take it for an extended test-drive. Drive it from your house to work and back and I'm sure you'll enjoy it, its a great commuter for sure, cheers!
@@mcdus78 it's a really good escape car because it handles so good
Dreamer Believer I’ll keep that in mind then.😀
Talk too much ! Just show the car..
Easy to just show the car, much harder to walk around talking about it for 14mins unscripted and unedited, give it a try, lol, thanks for the comment!
Haha! Savage!
sorry chevy's are made cheap. very few seen on the road except their trucks and suv's.
Chevy's are not made cheap. I see lots of them on the road except their Cars as most people today love Trucks & Suv's. See what I did there? lol. If you took the time to read the comments on this video from actual owners of this car you would read that they love it! Globally the Spark is a huge success for GM.
@@WesternGMDrumheller chevy cars ride like you are sitting on a rock. that suspension system is the worst in the industry.
