buffyuna 6 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Bobby MSME 100 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 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. Link to post Share on other sites
Retired old Gearhead 201 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Put some tape over it and just use your mirrors and a few glances back..those camera's lenses are wide angle..same on my Rover..we never use it. Link to post Share on other sites
