People in the U.S. is always laughing about people who drive small cars. Yet most of us who chose to drive big SUV/Crossovers/Trucks can barely afford the car payment or few gallons of gas.
I dont mind getting a car like this in matter fact it's looks cool its good on gas. Chevy did a good job with their design of the spark its has that European look. Im gonna trade my 300 for something reliable and good on gas cause my 300 is a lemon car
I bought a new red Spark two weeks ago. I'm a 37 year old guy. Other men think it's weird but women say it's cute. I like it and that's all that matters.
I got mine in August 2018 and still in love with in. In Quebec, gas being more expensive, we are use to small cars. I had many compliments on my blue Spark even from the guys at the car wash believe it or not!
I prefer small cars. The salesman doing this doesn't. He kept apologizing for it being "itty-bitty". Maybe the dealership should have picked somebody who likes them and doesn't make fun of them.
I agree with you completely. Him saying itty bitty every 4 seconds was irritating as hell. If any guys want this thing that will honestly put them off. Only one type of guy wants an itty bitty or adorable car....normal guys just want an affordable car that can get then the hell away from their wives for a bit.
My wife is going back to work after 21yrs of living like a poor mans queen. She went down to look at a 2019 spark where I'd bought my last new 2012 f-250 and they made her a deal she couldn't refuse. With a 125,000 mile warranty 14,400. She loves it. Only 300.00 a mouth for four years. Love that backup camera. Don't lose that key, its 325.00 smackers.
I love my 2019, its a blast to drive. Ive had several small cars over the years , but the spark is the best! I traded in my big dodge 1500 crew cab with the hemi, it was handy, but repairs were beginning to come along with the huge expense of repairs. Not with the spark. Heck, four tires to replace on the spark for the same price as one for the big truck. Oil change, holy mackerel! half as much, and 1.4 as much if I do it myself. Try changing 16 plugs on a hemi, or, 4 on a spark. Gas? no doubt that the spark is great on mileage. For long trips the dodge was nice, but the spark, not that bad for two folks. So if you buy one, take in mind how much money you wont have to spend. haahahaha
I recommend the Mitsubishi Mirage as well, the main class competitor to the Spark. The way I see it the Sparks handles and looks better, faster, better dealer support network, but the Mirage has a much better warranty, stronger reliability ratings after 5 years, better mpg. My next ride might be a Spark 5speed, I dont trust the way Chevy programmed the CVT7, too many documented issues. All in all, both good budget cars for the money.
@@maxsjelly-filleddelights9429 I test drove one and it was fine on the highway. Its just loud with tire and wind noise, like all subcompacts. Id really recommend you check out the Mitsubishi Mirage though, its reliability is proven with its JATCO CVT7. The Spark, which uses the exact same CVT7 had had issues with their programming. Now if your considering a 5speed, Id go with the Spark. If you plan on Ubering, they wont let you with a Spark but will with the Mirage. I cover about 100 to 200 miles a day driving avg 42 mpg, and after 9 hours I still got a half tank of gas.
@@maxsjelly-filleddelights9429 Did the 5 hours drive from Montreal to Toronto with a my tank at 1/4 full at arrival. Handles well on the highway and cruise control was appreciated. Of course there was wind effect when you pass those big trucks which is normal with a small car.
G/f and I just got this LT model a week ago in a Toasted Marshmallow color and man.... this really is fun to drive and the gas mileage is EXCELLENT! Literally takes about $18.00 of mid-grade for us to fill up from 1/4 tank to full. This is an EXCELLENT gas-saving car. Even though it does take a bit of acceleration to get going, once you're moving you barely notice you are moving along and it handles surprisingly well at high speeds on the highway. This is a highly recommended vehicle, was well worth getting the car.
I traded my 2016 Spark 1LT for a 2020 Spark 1LT and it was a great upgrade, It feels a little zippier. The same configuration and color as the one in the video except I opted for one with a power moonroof. The power moonroof gives it a more spacious airy feel and it's a blast to drive.
Let's be honest, this is a daily commuter vehicle. Mostly going to be used by someone whose single, for driving to-and-from work. And, once a week for getting groceries. As such, it's big enough. Doesn't need an ultra powerful sporty engine. Very good fuel economy on Regular gas. (On average, compared to fueling up on Premium, you save around $300 a year on gas prices.) Plenty of room in the hatch for a large work-bag, plus a road-side emergency kit. Put the weekly groceries on the backseat. You've got the option to fold those seats down on the rare occasion you need more room. Plenty of space for a buddy in the passenger seat if you want to drive somewhere local on the weekend, and have fun. Girlfriend instead? If she's willing to stay by you, marry her! Gold-diggers will not even sit in such a pragmatic car.
@@CocoTaveras8975 Hello coco. I have had this car for 3 month now and it is amazing. It is super quick, easy to monuvur and is great on gas. The interior is beautiful too. It has a backup camera, turn by turn directions, a USB input and much much more. You can hook your phone up to it via Bluetooth and talk to your friends and family. It is unbelievable. it is a small car but I can use this as a work car. I can fit 8-foot 2x4's and all my tools: saw, impact driver, drill and a giant tool bag full of screws and wrenches. So, it is worth it. It is the less expensive car on the market with the greatest value.
@@hizallmusic3438 The Mitsubishi Mirage is around the same price, more cargo room, better warranty, more reliable CVT programming, better mpg. The Spark looks nicer, faster, handles better, and has a way bigger dealer support network. I looked at both, but only the Mirage is allowed to use as an Uber vehicle, because it can technically seat 3 in the back, the Spark can only seat 2. MirageForum.com good source of data comparing the two vehicles.
I just bought a 2018 Chevy Spark last month I already have 1,500 miles on it and I'm super happy I paid $9,995 plus tax and license base model I roll up the windows by hand I am happy no regrets this was in San Francisco California area I averaged 30 7.5 miles per gallon for 1500 MI
9,995? Wow. I've never bought a new car from a dealership and I'm considering buying one now can you give me any information/tips on how to get a good price. There is a 2019 with a sticker price of $12,599 how much would it be a reasonable price.?

I bought this same car early 2020 and it’s been a outstanding ride! I’ve had ZERO problems with it. I’ve never had a check engine light on or anything. Definitely a nice big city car to get you back and forth to work. I’m 5’11 185lbs and I fit perfectly in it. I will say there is little to no room to sit behind me. This car is actually really spacious too when the seats fold down! People give me a lot of crap for driving this car but the jokes on them 😂
Bought a Chevy Spark LS 2011 model a year ago for my Better-Half. Engine is rebuilt but the family uses it more than the other German cars. Spark LS is enjoyable as it's so economical, we love it. Regular service ll keep you going.
Passion Fruit. When I turn in my 2016 Cruze I'm thinking about it, if I can get a payment low enough to make it worth it. That new color (P.F.) got me thinking about it.
I bought brand new one 2017. I have 40 thousand Miles on LT . Not one single problem with the car knock on wood and wouldn't know had CVT transmission. I might just buy another one if they still be making these in 3 years .
You can get most sub-compact cars (Chevy Sonic sized) for less than this city car. You can buy a couple base model compact cars for cheaper too. I can't see why anyone would choose this over another car in a higher class for the same price or even cheaper.
Not really any compacts out there cheaper than a Spark, Versa, or a Mirage. Corolla MSRP is double a $10k Mirage. Sentra is $7 to $8k dollars more. Apples to oranges.
You would be shocked about how many people you can fit inside a little Chevy spark. Me and my friends piled into one and there was a total of six of us
I saw one of these at a Local dealer but noticed that the Back seats don't Fold down exactly flat like the competing Mitsubishi Mirage cars and the Mirage also gets higher MPG ratings near the 50 mark. Thank you for talking us through all this Cuteness going on!
I bought a brand new 2019 spark 2 days ago and the usb port already doesnt work. Other than that I love it. 12k with a bumper to bumper lifetime warranty.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 Everytime I heard the words Itty Bitty I couldn't keep a straight face! Lol I seriously couldn't tell if he was making fun of this car or maybe its just 6ft tall me laughing at it. Lol 🤷🏾♂️
this would be a great work car. me personally i'd rather have the dumb downed version because i like "simple" i hate all the gadgets in cars now days and all i care about is getting to point A to point B and not to mention the regular 2019 new LT around my neck of the woods starts at just 11k. people may laugh at how small it is but in this time fuel economy is everything and this car is all about that unless you are just filthy rich and don't have to worry about anything lol.
I love my '19 LS Spark, i added a removable Harbor Freight roof-rack with led light bar and spotlights in front, + add'l rear brake and turn indicators, hitch from UHaul, and tint all around. I drive a lot and pickup lumber from Lowes with no problems. Latest add on was a sun-visor with eyes like Disney/ Pixar "Cars" characters. One downside is my Apple CarPlay quit working, tho that's probably my bad. Overall, keeping mine til it's paid off or wrecked! I love mine and always get questions about it which is fun.
*You don't need auxiliary anymore* Liked the video rightaway after that statement. Some manufacturers have difficulty to understand a technology became *Dead* and no need to charge us money for something we don't use.
Never pay the sticker price at a dealership, I have learned the best time to bye a new car is at the end of the year,, my 2017 Impala had a 31g sticker price on it but I didn't pay that talked dealer down to 21g you also half to remember you will also pay taxes tag & freight title charge on it,,,
Can confirm best car I've ever had!!! I still have it this was my first brand new car when I got it at had less than a hundred miles. I will say the biggest about having this carving this as I am not an average size person I am in fact a full-grown adult that is actually under 5 ft. But having this car makes me feel like an average person because I feel in complete control of the car and not like a little kid sitting on Dad's lap learning how to steer. If you're a above average size person and maybe cramped a comfortable but then maybe this car is not for you but it is definitely something I would recommend to our smaller stature humans
I still can't believe someone put a 7.0L V8 in one of these. I recent got to drive a spark. It felt like a golf cart. Was fun to drive tho. Thought about buying an old one as sort of a cheap travel car. That gas cap lid has to go tho.
I have a 2017 base model automatic with hand crank windows and everything and I love it. I think it’s a great little car to go around in. I just got my first oil change this week. I don’t put many miles on my car and still don’t have 4,000 miles on it yet. Now I can say that if you live in the mountains, you will probably find yourself needing to floor the gas in this car on occasion. I definitely do. I don’t really have a problem with it though and am pretty much used to it now. One funny thing my radio does is when I start the car, a lot of times it takes a few seconds to update the clock from when I last shut the car off. I don’t know if this is due to the cellular network clock or what. I am about tempted to switch it to the traditional clock and find out. I wonder if that would happen too with this one since it seems to run a different firmware. I also find the removal of the aux port on this one kinda funny. Everyone seems to be going down that path these days and I don’t understand it. Mine still has the aux port though. I can say the USB port on mine at least is kinda a slow charger like most car USB ports are. I’m about ready to put an adapter that plugs into the cigarette lighter just in case. That would be fine for me since most of my in car music comes from the regular radio. I wonder if that type-c port is any faster.
Dont know anything about the Spark but my Mom has a 2014 Sonic which is the next car up in Chevy's lineup and loves it. It gets about 40 mpg and has decent interior space and plenty of room for 4. Plenty of get up and go with the 1.8 L 4 cylinder too. I've drove it quite a bit and Its a fun little car to drive and is reliable too.
@@lunchbox0668 I like reliability, good fuel economy, and a good price. Mirage has all these. Many people need basic, a to b transportation that they can afford to commute to work.
Absolutely precious. You don't do a donut in it because it's itty bitty, you do a donut hole munchkin! My 2016 Acura TLX looks like a giant next to it!
I test drove one and was fun to zip around turns but overall just felt cheap. Even the service department at the dealer said they where cheap and good for a couple years tops.
If you find this car to be too small then look at the Chevy Sonic! I just bought a 2018 RS sedan with convenience and saftey package for 18.4k! It's USA made in the lake orion plant!
Not bad, you must be a hypermilling expert. Keeping the rpm to 2000, the AC on low or off. If I do that in my 3cyl Mitsubishi Mirage I can hit 50 mpg, but thats rare considering how fast you have to drive to keep up on American freeways.
@@kylemas2005 we drive pretty normally. We live on the east coast, where highway speeds are slower than out west. 80% of our driving is on highways, which helps. We live in a relatively rural area, so we rarely get stuck in traffic. And I have a 5 speed, which, contrary to the EPA, gets significantly better mileage than my daughter's CVYT Spark, no matter who drives which car. I have never been able to 50 mpg for any distance, but I suspect that I could if I kept it to 55 mph like back in the 80's. But who is going to do that! But I have never averaged anything less than 41 mpg, and that was with a canoe on top of the car!
@@clydeosterhout1221 The 5speed Spark sounds like a fun runabout! One key thing though about your kid's CVT version. I have the exact same JATCO CVT7 unit in my Mirage. Its great at saving money on gas but its delicate as hell. I cant stress putting fresh OEM CVT fluid in it every 30k miles at a dealership, it'll run you about $240 a pop but its worth it to extend the life of her transmission. If you go on the Spark message forum you'll read alot of gripes about folk's CVT crapping out on them at 40 -60k miles because they weren't dilligent about preventative maintenance. With that said, the highest mileage vehicle Ive seen with this CVT was 175k. These units just dont go much beyond that like the old automatic transmissions unfortunately.
@@kylemas2005 I love my Spark. My wife loves her Mirage (5 speed, 45 mpg). We tolerate each other's cars. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. My Spark is quicker and handles better. Her Mirage is bigger and the ride is more comfortable. My Spark is structurally stronger, her Mirage's turning circle is incredibly small. They are both good cars. For us. I suspect that most other people would like something bigger, tho four of us, all adults, rode in our Mirage for 8 hours to Upstate NY without discomfort.
@@clydeosterhout1221 You mentioned your daughter has a CVT Spark version, Id ask her about the CVT fluid change thats supposed to done at 30k miles so she can get the most miles out of her car. You and your wife will be fine though. On MirageForum.com there are members with the 5speed Mirage that have over 250k miles on them. Original clutch, just basic oil changes every 7500 miles, new front brake pads, new tires, the usual items. Does your Spark have rear drums?
These little cars do amazingly well on the interstate! I run mine about 75-80 for hours on end, average 40.8 mpg. I have 56000 miles on my 2017, just did a fluid and filter change on the cvt. Great lil car!

I'm eyeballing this vehicle, I hear great things about Chevy and it's a small vehicle
the chevy area by me is selling it for 11,000, the original price they sell it for is 15,000. I think 17,000 is just a bit too much for this car-
I bought a brand new 2019 spark 2 days ago and the usb port already doesnt work. Other than that I love it. 12k with a bumper to bumper lifetime warranty.
omg already broken usb but u still love it??
There are no lifetime warranties lol. Chevy gives you like 3 years.
Awesome 😃 👍 2019 Chevy spark 1LT.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 Everytime I heard the words Itty Bitty I couldn't keep a straight face! Lol I seriously couldn't tell if he was making fun of this car or maybe its just 6ft tall me laughing at it. Lol 🤷🏾♂️
lol I was kind of making fun of the car and I'm 6.1 so the car is really small for me.
I have a 2015 spark and love it. No problems what so ever. Would love to get a newer model once I pay off my car some
Your not biased at all.. Its a Korean Daewoo
Great review! Seriously considering buying this car.
My moms buying me this for my first car- it’s actually cute. Thank u for the vid
this would be a great work car. me personally i'd rather have the dumb downed version because i like "simple" i hate all the gadgets in cars now days and all i care about is getting to point A to point B and not to mention the regular 2019 new LT around my neck of the woods starts at just 11k. people may laugh at how small it is but in this time fuel economy is everything and this car is all about that unless you are just filthy rich and don't have to worry about anything lol.
I love my '19 LS Spark, i added a removable Harbor Freight roof-rack with led light bar and spotlights in front, + add'l rear brake and turn indicators, hitch from UHaul, and tint all around. I drive a lot and pickup lumber from Lowes with no problems. Latest add on was a sun-visor with eyes like Disney/ Pixar "Cars" characters. One downside is my Apple CarPlay quit working, tho that's probably my bad. Overall, keeping mine til it's paid off or wrecked! I love mine and always get questions about it which is fun.
*You don't need auxiliary anymore*
Liked the video rightaway after that statement. Some manufacturers have difficulty to understand a technology became *Dead* and no need to charge us money for something we don't use.
Sweet car still cannot beat my 2017 spark😊😊😊😊
Love dis review ❤️❤️❤️
$17,490 for a small car. Thats pretty expensive
Yes it is, get a slightly used one and pay 4000 less.
Actually they are a lot cheaper the ls is 10k and 1lt is 11k to 12
For that price look to at the Sonic!
Never pay the sticker price at a dealership, I have learned the best time to bye a new car is at the end of the year,, my 2017 Impala had a 31g sticker price on it but I didn't pay that talked dealer down to 21g you also half to remember you will also pay taxes tag & freight title charge on it,,,
It is and you will pay even more with tags and taxes,, you half to negotiate with the dealer to talk the price down,,
Can confirm best car I've ever had!!!
I still have it this was my first brand new car when I got it at had less than a hundred miles.
I will say the biggest about having this carving this as I am not an average size person I am in fact a full-grown adult that is actually under 5 ft. But having this car makes me feel like an average person because I feel in complete control of the car and not like a little kid sitting on Dad's lap learning how to steer.
If you're a above average size person and maybe cramped a comfortable but then maybe this car is not for you but it is definitely something I would recommend to our smaller stature humans
I still can't believe someone put a 7.0L V8 in one of these. I recent got to drive a spark. It felt like a golf cart. Was fun to drive tho. Thought about buying an old one as sort of a cheap travel car. That gas cap lid has to go tho.
yes it is fun to drive small cars like this. I did not know someone put a V8 in this car, but I can image some crazy American doing that lol.
I have a 2017 base model automatic with hand crank windows and everything and I love it. I think it’s a great little car to go around in. I just got my first oil change this week. I don’t put many miles on my car and still don’t have 4,000 miles on it yet. Now I can say that if you live in the mountains, you will probably find yourself needing to floor the gas in this car on occasion. I definitely do. I don’t really have a problem with it though and am pretty much used to it now. One funny thing my radio does is when I start the car, a lot of times it takes a few seconds to update the clock from when I last shut the car off. I don’t know if this is due to the cellular network clock or what. I am about tempted to switch it to the traditional clock and find out. I wonder if that would happen too with this one since it seems to run a different firmware. I also find the removal of the aux port on this one kinda funny. Everyone seems to be going down that path these days and I don’t understand it. Mine still has the aux port though. I can say the USB port on mine at least is kinda a slow charger like most car USB ports are. I’m about ready to put an adapter that plugs into the cigarette lighter just in case. That would be fine for me since most of my in car music comes from the regular radio. I wonder if that type-c port is any faster.
"Hand crank windows"...seriously? And you bought it???
@@bigmacdaddy1234 no. I got it as my first car as a Christmas gift. I've honestly gotten used to them though. I can use them like they're nothing now.
Bet a great aftermarket stereo system would sound fantastic in one.
Another great car review. Thanks . keep up the good work.
Dont know anything about the Spark but my Mom has a 2014 Sonic which is the next car up in Chevy's lineup and loves it. It gets about 40 mpg and has decent interior space and plenty of room for 4. Plenty of get up and go with the 1.8 L 4 cylinder too. I've drove it quite a bit and Its a fun little car to drive and is reliable too.
I love my spark just bought a 2020 for 15k
Driving a 2012 Chevy Spark as my first car and it's too bad I won't get the 2019 one where I live ..
Its not a Chev but a Dawoo. ......fact.
Great review!
I was a salesman at a Chevy dealership and last year the spark lt was 15k. Where the hell did that 2k come from?
Whats up with the Spark having major water pump and CVT transmission issues?
Mitsubishi Mirage is the Spark's main rival. Go with the Mirage, better long term reliability.
Yo! I've seen you in Doug's Mirage video, you really like Mirages eh? I own a Mirage G4 and so far it didn't disappoint
@@lunchbox0668 I like reliability, good fuel economy, and a good price. Mirage has all these. Many people need basic, a to b transportation that they can afford to commute to work.
How many times does he say itty bitty? It’s hilarious! Can’t wait to get my 2019 spark!
Thank you for understanding me trying to be funny. Some seemed to get upset by that lol.
Drinking game, take a shot every time he says itty bitty or cute
Great little car. Great video.
I love the video but can we wipe the camera?
I like the comment, put a little somethin , somethin in glove compartment 👌😁
ya you just want to make a sale but cute little car makes me want to buy one.
Cute Chevrolet Spark and I also like the 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage ES
ladyyuna2000 the spark passed the IIHS crash test, the Mirage did not.
@@TheSaltRose Wrong, they both got good marks in every test but the small overlap front test, like most subcompacts.
Get the Mirage, better reliability.
Absolutely precious. You don't do a donut in it because it's itty bitty, you do a donut hole munchkin! My 2016 Acura TLX looks like a giant next to it!
In these days of vehicles shortages are you still offering the $98 over invoice?
I WANT ONE SO BADLY :
why?
@@santoshthapa8398 because it's an affordable new small car you can get with a turbo and a manual
I test drove one and was fun to zip around turns but overall just felt cheap. Even the service department at the dealer said they where cheap and good for a couple years tops.
Which better this or suzuki splash looking for budget car, just moved in New Town
Chevy I think would be a better choice.
Because the radio. I want to get spark. 😃😃😃
If you find this car to be too small then look at the Chevy Sonic! I just bought a 2018 RS sedan with convenience and saftey package for 18.4k! It's USA made in the lake orion plant!
USA made means dick all to me. I need my car to get 200k troublefree miles, therefore I need a Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, etc.
In Brazil number 1 in sales is chevrolet Onix.
Does anyone know if the back seat is able to lay down flat? I’ve been eyeing one of these.
I just bought this car today!! it’s an orange one hehe
My 2017 is averaging 43 mpg
Not bad, you must be a hypermilling expert. Keeping the rpm to 2000, the AC on low or off. If I do that in my 3cyl Mitsubishi Mirage I can hit 50 mpg, but thats rare considering how fast you have to drive to keep up on American freeways.
@@kylemas2005 we drive pretty normally. We live on the east coast, where highway speeds are slower than out west. 80% of our driving is on highways, which helps. We live in a relatively rural area, so we rarely get stuck in traffic. And I have a 5 speed, which, contrary to the EPA, gets significantly better mileage than my daughter's CVYT Spark, no matter who drives which car. I have never been able to 50 mpg for any distance, but I suspect that I could if I kept it to 55 mph like back in the 80's. But who is going to do that! But I have never averaged anything less than 41 mpg, and that was with a canoe on top of the car!
@@clydeosterhout1221 The 5speed Spark sounds like a fun runabout! One key thing though about your kid's CVT version. I have the exact same JATCO CVT7 unit in my Mirage. Its great at saving money on gas but its delicate as hell. I cant stress putting fresh OEM CVT fluid in it every 30k miles at a dealership, it'll run you about $240 a pop but its worth it to extend the life of her transmission. If you go on the Spark message forum you'll read alot of gripes about folk's CVT crapping out on them at 40 -60k miles because they weren't dilligent about preventative maintenance. With that said, the highest mileage vehicle Ive seen with this CVT was 175k. These units just dont go much beyond that like the old automatic transmissions unfortunately.
@@kylemas2005 I love my Spark. My wife loves her Mirage (5 speed, 45 mpg). We tolerate each other's cars. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. My Spark is quicker and handles better. Her Mirage is bigger and the ride is more comfortable. My Spark is structurally stronger, her Mirage's turning circle is incredibly small. They are both good cars. For us. I suspect that most other people would like something bigger, tho four of us, all adults, rode in our Mirage for 8 hours to Upstate NY without discomfort.
@@clydeosterhout1221 You mentioned your daughter has a CVT Spark version, Id ask her about the CVT fluid change thats supposed to done at 30k miles so she can get the most miles out of her car. You and your wife will be fine though. On MirageForum.com there are members with the 5speed Mirage that have over 250k miles on them. Original clutch, just basic oil changes every 7500 miles, new front brake pads, new tires, the usual items. Does your Spark have rear drums?
I like the way you say 'nibi little'
I love mine
Hoffentlich kommt der Spark bald wieder nach Europa Deutschland bin sehr zufrieden mit ihm
The windshield wipers are probably the biggest thing on the car😅
Nice car. Love the blue. Would make a great car to travel in. 😊
Its looking gold!
i died inside when he said " you cant beat that 30mpg" and the new civics get 42mpg highway without hybrid
I think he meant for how cheap it is
38*
I have this car, 2018 model. I get 42-44mpg
Every! Word! Doesn't! Need! A! Pause!
LOL that is so true. From what I remember I was sick with the flu when filming that car that day.
@@CarolinaCarVideos it was really well done, I don't even know why I noticed that, love your enthusiasm for your reviews though :)
Gettin a used one for roadtrips
Roadtrips? I thought this was more of a City driving car myself. Just make sure to stop every few hours to stretch your legs.
@@CarolinaCarVideos hek yeah roadtrips. Just me & the girlfriend. Lol. Plenty of room for us & can park easy. 40mpg! 💪
These little cars do amazingly well on the interstate! I run mine about 75-80 for hours on end, average 40.8 mpg. I have 56000 miles on my 2017, just did a fluid and filter change on the cvt. Great lil car!
I miss the design of the previous generation though. The small bug eyed coope.
In latin america, this car its like a mercedes benz
Very good presentation!
