On my NEW 2018 1LT Spark as promised on previous post. Lots of improvements and in no special order I will try to state the improvements as I see them....14 more horse power with about 1 mpg less than my 2015 Spark ( 39.4 mpg average so far)...CVT performs great and has a new soft whirring sound as it shifts gears (range), sounds good actually...A matted no glare dash covering...Larger side rear view mirrors...Textured steering wheel almost as good feeling as leather...
Angled ignition key hole so it is easier to locate/see...Gauge cluster more car like, doing away with motorcycle style...improved cruise control buttons...placement of power window buttons so you don't have to search back and forth for them...Some padding on arm rests now... No more BRINGO and much improved CAR PLAY system instead (free)...improved windshield washers (4 spray nozzles)...A REAL spare tire (donut)...Back up camera...Headlights much improved (no dark areas)...Super quiet interior with zero wind noise at highway speed (Really)...Improved styling (lower roof line with better looking front area and tail lights)...Alloy wheels easier to clean with more space between spokes...Here are some things changed for the worse (nit picking)....Pull down handle on trunk lid has been turned around and is not convenient now. Tires are China made now, but they seem OK.....So there you have it folks, 2300 miles so far and very happy with my purchase. WISH ME LUCK !

Look what I went and did....In 01/25/2019 I bought a left over 2018 1LT Spark....Only had 36K on my 2015. Really like all the improvements on this 2018 model. CVT definitely feels different (way better, no bunny hop for one thing) I will post later on all of the great improvements. 2000 miles and am loving this thing....So Far.
