The biggest difference between 2016 and 2017 models


Recommended Posts

Most reviews of the 2017 Spark mention how it is practically identical to the 2016 spark but they never specify what the differences are even if they seem minuscule.  Well so far I've found out that the 2017 base model's Rear view camera is superior to the 2016 base model one.  In this review of the 2017 LS spark you can see that the guide lines turn when he turns the steering wheel, the 2016 model just stays stationary.  Have you guys found out any other differences?  I noticed that the handbook for the 2016 doesn't mention knee airbags for the front passangers but its mentioned in the 2017 specs. 

 

Back up camera part starts @9:24

The rear view camera in my 2017 Spark has misleading depth perception.

Objects are actually LOT CLOSER than how it looks on screen.

 

Since I usually park front end in first, I have trouble gauging how far the front end is from the curb/concrete block. The rubber panel at bottom is quite low, and scrapes against the concrete if I get too close. May be I need feelers attached to the front bumper.
