      This is the Fourth generation of the Spark, the M400, the previous version M300 is manufactured in Colombia for latin america and it's pretty popular within the cheap car segment, only manuals are offered. Unfortunately this car is sold with incomplete airbags in South America, If they were complete I'd be driving one in the city these days :)

      Ford completely ditched the car market in North America, dropped the whole lineup, they only sell crossover SUV and trucks now. I am not convinced its entirely consumer demand driving that decision. Gov regulations and making more money on larger vehicles plays a role and its convenient for them to shape their consumers wants to make them think they need bigger.

    I just test drove a 2017 Spark with the 5 speed manual, and 50k miles on it. I was shocked how much I actually liked it. It’s not a race car and it’s not a Cadillac or long trip family car, but for basic transportation, it’s great. I don’t need to haul cargo, I have no kids, and I do a ton of city driving. So the lack of interior space doesn’t bother me. The fact that Scotty gave it a good review makes me lean even more towards buying it.

    What I like with the CVT is that it always searches for the best gear combination between engine and speed. You have to give it time to adapt, and your gas consumption will drop like a stone. Of course, it's not very sporty, but when you're in a nifty little city mouse, who cares? It's for mechanical savvy people.

    For anyone on the fence: got my Spark 3 years ago (2017 model) for under 10k brand new (cvt). At 41k miles and works perfectly without a single maintenance issue. Acceleration is good esp on highway and it's really fun to drive on corners. Only thing replaced was the stock tires at 33k miles. They were dreadfully loud and had no tread. Spend on the tires and the road noise goes from a 5/10 to a 8/10. Night and day.
    Still running on stock brakes. We'll see how it goes in a few years but it's already much more reliable than my last car. Had a Nissan with a Gen 1 CVT that would start slipping every few years. No issues at all so far.

    The Spark might not be my favorite car but I’ll always appreciate lower end vehicles for their price, insanely low depreciation because of said price, simplicity, and seeing how much they can fit in to a vehicle so small and affordable and wonder if I could do with a vehicle like that. I am a fan of the first gen Aveos in that morbid curiosity that since it is so inexpensive and only the essential parts, would it be a decent car to tinker on and have as a beater. The interior of the 1 gen Aveos were laughable at how they resemble the inside of a plastic recycle bin. The Spark in comparison is impressive.
    Parking next to a Spark after having done a brake job my large car, I was amazed at how small those components were and if it would be much easier working on them.

    So many people don't appreciate how great those CVT transmissions are. The same people who didn't appreciate the Chrysler Airflow. That's why the sales literature doesn't proudly boast "CVT," they say "automatic," which indeed it is. But I like the CVT in my car. It find it to be amazing. No problem passing tractor-trailers on the interstate; no problem merging onto the interstate without slowing down the existing traffic or forcing them to move over to let you in. It is really cool the way it works. A bit like a hybrid car actually. The engine rapidly increases speed until it reaches redline, and then it stays rock steady at redline while the car goes faster and faster - but you don't feel the car going faster so much - you mostly just hear the engine running rock steady at one speed.. Some people would rather have the sensation of acceleration; me, I'd rather have the actual acceleration. Planetary gearset automatics jerk you around as they accelerate; the CVT accelerates without jerking you around.

    I worked in a factory where I live in east Tennessee where I helped make the headlight molding for these Sparks. It was a Korean factory called SL that mainly made GM headlamps taillamps, and plastic trim. It seems to me the Koreans seem to be at least a little better at car making than the Chinese.

      Well they do make Kia's, Hyundia's and probably a bunch of others there.

    I still like my GM/Daewoo Aveo 2016! Tons of room, minimal repairs, easy to move in the city, it eats tires, but still mint. 14yo GM would be dead. 14yo Daewoo is still next to perfect.

    Loved it. I drive a 2013 Chevrolet Beat in india . ofcourse it's called the spark in United States. I have not had much issues with it. Just the heater core was replaced once. And last year I replaced both front shock absorbers. All aftermarket. I am the first owner. And I intend to keep it for full 15 years. Petrol cars are permitted here to be run for 15 years only. CHEVY runs deep. Great to see Scotty recommending the Chevrolet that I also own. ofcourse a yester year model but it's all the same.

      I guess "got" means rented in Kilmerese.
      I paid above market for mine, but I'm very happy with it. I bought used so at least I wasn't forced into the $2300 "paint protection" scam the GM dealer was trying to push on me.
