Anyone else heading to this years auto show in the motor city? I fell in love with my spark 2 years ago when I first saw it at the 2012 Detroit show. Looking forward to seeing what GM has in store this year!

Welcome!!

Welcome!

Welcome!

My Lil Snow plow we have gotten about 20 inches in the past 4 days made it to work and back without problems even plowed the driveway a bit with the front

no problems with the spark in the snowbelt last winter...

I found the spark to be very decent in the snow last winter. In the lake effect belt just south of Erie, PA here

the ABS self test would make sense. I had a volvo v70 that made the same noise i always wondered what it was.

Hey NW PA here too! hope you get your problem sorted where did you purchase your Spark?

Greg just recently passed the one year mark here as well 09/13 So far so good no issues. Maybe I don't notice the ac since its not blistering hot here in the northeast but I'm happy with my purchase! I'm at 10,700 miles

The first time I saw the spark was as the Beat concept at the Detroit Auto show. Then in january 2012 as the show they had a neat display of sparks in all the bold colors and I knew I wanted one

I use this http://www.poorboysworld.com/natural-look.htm So there is not a filter installed from the factory correct? I never understood why they do that. I found several on amazon, I'll pick one up.

My parents have a CVT AWD Kizashi and I find myself using the paddle shifters when I drive it since it reverts to 6 preset ratios for cruising, its great!

Welcome! I visit Dearborn ever year when I go to the Auto show! great color choice!

This is awesome go sparky go!

Welcome! always liked the Astra hoped it served you well!

Welcome and Congrats!

I've found the rates to be quite reasonable actually. I feel very safe in the Spark.

My sister currently is driving my old 1999 volvo v70 wagon which has become problematic for her (they require lots of upkeep) and with what her interests are, the car usually falls last on her list of things to take care of. She recently graduated from University of Pittsburgh and is currently living in the Lawrenceville neighborhood which is a rather congested area from what I'm used to. We have made numerous car rescue/repair trips recently and I think we are about to throw in the towel on the ol Swede. Here is to hoping I can get her interested! I know she will love it if she gets one. I'm

I just tried this as well. It might not be classy going in through the hatch, but it sure beats being stranded because you left the keys in it. It will also set off the panic function. I like it for the Tire pressure and lifetime MPG I'm up to 44mpg over 9600 miles!

Would be great for the snow belt here! give it the 1.4 turbo and AWD from the Mokka/Trax/Encore and call it a day

Also this may be a cheaper option. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-Chevy-Sonic-CD-Player-Radio-OEM-LKQ-/190881515790?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3AChevrolet%7CModel%3ASonic&hash=item2c716cc90e&vxp=mtr
