Spark 2010 | Chevrolet | Car Reviews

Chevrolet Spark (2010 - )

Enjoyable and easy to drive, neatly styled, easy to get in and out of, peppy engines, good rear space.

Entry level models on small wheels don't look particuarly good.

Introduction

I confess, I wasn't particularly looking forward to this one. I'd thought it would just be an updated Chevrolet Matiz trying to punch above its weight in the same ring as the Hyundai i10, Suzuki Splash and Vauxhall Agila. And the blizzard conditions didn't help. That's not dandruff on my shoulders in the video. That's snow.

But I try to be open-minded. To look for features in a car that the others don't have. To try and find some reason to recommend it over the competition.

And the Spark slowly but surely won me over.
