So, when buying my spark in December, I had asked about a donut . the dealer informed me there wasnt room for one, and that they didnt carry anything for the spark. Well, I happen to come across a free 4x100 donut, and it fits very nicely where that worthless fix-a-flat kit was. Now I need to find a scissor jack, and a lug wrench..as it didnt come with that either. Also need to cut a piece of plywood as there is no usable cover now and the carpet just lays on top of the spare.

I feel like this part of the car was not well thought out. It looks like it has 4 screws to secure a spare, but didnt come with one,and doesnt have a floor panel in the trunk area.

GM is still working on getting the spare tire kit on the market.

Lots of decent scissor jacks at the auto stores, get a large breaker bar and 19 mm socket while you are there. I also bought a thick rubber wheel chock and cut the back out of it for a nice thick jack pad. It all mostly fits where the foam was, but I do still need to make a proper cover.

Must have been a design change?

I bought my Spark in Sept. 2013.

It is a 2013 model.

It is a possibility, these damned build dates are really getting annoying. I bought this car, thinking it was already on the world market for a few years, it seems the 2013 models, were a work in progress, every few months something is changed. Going by the newer people joining on here, the '14's seem to be pretty well on spot, the a/c is good, auto lights, all the annoying problems with the '13's seems to have been taken care of. I still have no regrets in buying this car, but what does piss me off, is that I really didn't need a car, and bought this on a whim, I could have just waited another year, and got an even better loaded car for the same price. I can safely say, again, no regrets, but, this is my first, and last, GM purchase.
