I think it all depends on what you're used to driving. Me personally, I was driving a beat up '95 Cavalier before my spark, so I think that my Spark handles just fine on the highway.

I wish it had a temp gauge too. I thought it was odd that it didn't have one.

I love my Spark. I have an automatic LS, nothing fancy. My average MPG so far is 36 with about 1300 miles on it, I deal with highway and city. I can fit my husband and his 2 brothers in it without an issue, and none of them are small, they were impressed by how much space is actually inside. The more I drive it the more I love it!

I would love the chance to race one. There's a shop in the area that has been working on turboing a Spark, that would be fun to drive!

Well, comparing it to my last car I'd have to say everything since it all works. I'm a big fan of the way the gauges are set up, auxillary jack and the turning radius.

I've never had an issue with mine, but I'm on the short side. The husband likes to hold onto the passenger handle when I take turns with any amount of speed.

I've seen a few Sonics, a mixture of sedans and hatchbacks and a quite a few Cruzes.

I think I'm doing something wrong, my best MPG is 39.2 and my average is 36. And I very rarely go above 70 on the highway.

I haven't seen any others around here either, maybe once we're in warmer weather.

Now that is a nice shade of orange!

It's a shame they didn't make orange an option, I would have gotten that with a quickness.

Sorry to hear you lost your Malibu to Sandy, but congratulations on your new Spark! I too am loving my Spark and for the 1st time decided to join a forum for it.

I'm definately still learning how to drive it, it's a world of difference than the '95 Cavalier I was driving previously. I have a tire pressure gauge, I just need to dig it out of it's hiding place. And after checking out Fuelly, I think I'm going to start using it. Thanks!

Is the "break-in" period the same for automatics and manuals? I have an automatic that has about 200 miles on it and so far the highest MPG I've gotten is 37, that's mixed highway and city with some hilly areas.

For as much as I love my Spark, I can't imagine it doing very well in the snow since it's so little. Thankfully we haven't had any major snow here yet but I'm sure it's coming! I'm still contemplating getting snow tires for it.
