Review of 2018 Chevy spark.

Although it slow to accelerate from a stop, especially an uphill stop, it is quick when driving and turning corners. The gas mileage is great, and the dashboard is intuitive. The only thing that I would change are the wheels. The hubcaps are cheap and damage easily, but this keeps the car light, maximizing fuel efficiency.

You can hook your phone up to the car for hands free device for calling.

My car is just a standard, nothing special. But I love the Bluetooth connection service it gives you and I think it adds a nice touch that the windows are not automatic. Kind of unique if you ask me. It is not meant for the acceleration. But it fits in every parking spot imaginable. And it definitely is my kind of car.

I like that the spark has a rear view camera, great for parallel parking.

I really enjoy my spark, but I think the reason I like it so much is because it is just me. I have no kids and it is a bit of a small car so I think if you are single and a college student it is a great and economical way to get around. It does not have much horsepower unfortunately, but it is a great city car.

Chevy spark: snazzy zoomer.

I love my spark so much. I drive a lot (nearly 50000 miles in the last 2 years) and so far no worries, no problems. She is surprisingly roomy, and has all the simple luxuries. Phenomenal gas mileage- especially for across country road trips, and in the mountains. The only thing that may be seen as a negative is the wind sounds/shifts on the highway, but any seasoned driver should have no problem with that. Large center smart screen, convenient power outlets, adequate legroom and ample cup holders. Only 4 seats, but the back seats can be removed for extra trunk access.

The Chevy spark lights up my life!

I purchased my Chevy spark spontaneously one day and have not regretted that decision! The gas mileage is at least 25 mpg on average and a full tank runs approx 18.00 in NJ allowing you to also have great budgeting opportunities. At 6ft 4in this car provides ample room for my comfort in the driver seat and also the passenger seat. All in all the Chevy spark is a must buy for the buck!

So happy I purchased a Chevrolet spark!!

Excellent gas mileage. Fun car to drive around town. Not a highway car. Plenty of room in front but not back seat. Trunk small. Like back windshield wiper. Seats comfortable. Cleans easily. Comfortable ride. Enjoy short trips. Easy to park. Lasting car. So glad I purchased.

Engineering, capacity, technology, comfortable and most importantly the price.

I love my car it is so comfortable, small and perfect for me and my baby it is a smart thing made for us.

Ashlynn S

Great car for kids that is about to go off to college or need good reliable car.

It is a great first car that gets great gas mileage and does not cost a lot to fill up! Everyone should get this Chevrolet spark. There can be some downsides but overall it is a great car. The Chevrolet spark that I have does not have power locks or power windows so that can be a real bummer but it is just old school so you have to crank windows up and down and push and unlock the doors after you get one unlocked.

Horses have no power

Worst car I ever owned. Im at 42,000 miles on my 2018 Spark and have already had to replace tires(which i put air in twice a week after purchase), battery(battery that came with the new car had dead cell), paint started chipping withing first 6 months and has absolutely no get up and go power. Can take up to 15-20 seconds to get across the street or thru an intersection which is just enough time for someone in a hurry to blast thru and total the spark out.Most likely this car will not last the life of the loan so I hope to unload it un the next 6 months or so. I will NEVER buy another Chevrolet anything again! Very cheaply made.

Christina P

The gas mileage is great.

I like that my car is small and good with gas. Also it rides smoothly on the highway. Ali I really love the look of the vehicle.

Berenice Q

Nice small car met my expectations.

It is a nice car, not too much power, maintenance is affordable I haven't had any warranty issues. Smooth driving. Small trunk. Only for four passengers. Great on highways small gas tank. Overall it met my expectations based on price and my daily commute and what I could afford at the moment.

Angela W

The car has a very unique shape and you can find the car in every parking lot.

It is too small and catches dirt fast. No trunk. No trunk space. Nowhere to hang up your clothes from the cleaners and shopping. Fabric seats are harder to keep clean. Hard to keep soft fabric clean. Cleaning the fabric can be tricky and you have to have Lysol around if you have children.

Clara K

It gets really good gas and mile per gallon.

No problems, it is a great care. Just too small for a family of 3. Gets amazing gas though! I have not had any problems with it. Especially since I have generated about 90,000 miles on it in 2 years. So I feel like that is pretty good. If I didn't have kids and need more space I would rate it better. It would be great for a college student or someone who does not have kids.

Great little car, worth the buy.

It was an affordable vehicle and it is been a reliable car. I never have any issues besides with the tires. They always seem to be low and need to be aired up even though I never see any obvious punctures. I love the features of CarPlay/android play and cruise control. One thing I do not like is that it does not seem to have a visual temperature gauge.

Jaden C on May 10, 2021

It is small and compact definitely reliable.

This is a wonderful little car it is got good gas mileage and drives well, I would recommend this car to anyone who wants a good small decent car. It is the perfect car for a young college student or a single person, it is really all out a wonderful car!

Pros from Owners

Amber F.

Compact, ideal for single person or couples, not best for babies due to no room for car seat, only 2 seats in the back. Been reliable. Mileage is good, gas tank is not the biggest if you are using your car a lot the gas diminishes quickly. Battery life only lasts 2 years.

Cons from Owners

Amber F.

Battery life is not very long lasting when using your vehicle often. Too small, not enough seats in the back, there are only 2 seats and the cup holder makes it hard to bring car seats and pets in the back. There really is no room to have a car seat because the front would have to go so far up that it wouldn't be functional.
