ChevMan

I own a small companion, an eight year’s old Pomeranian (Lenny, as we would call him). Don't let his size fool you, that little bugger can be too playful at times. He usually hangs out in the living room, would watch Netflix with my brother, and then play catch in the backyard during the afternoon. As a precautionary measure though, we would fit him with one of those bark collars, as he would yap uncontrollably while having fun, just enough to drive our neighbors mad. Overall, he's a good tyke and obviously has been a family to us these past few years.

Few mods aka engine swap.

Hahaha! Engine swap really did the trick, after all. 

Thanks for sharing, GREENSPARK8! I'll check this out on eBay.

I needed a daily commuter I travel 67 miles one way to work and couldn't find parking with my Ford Windstar. I found my spark more roomy than what I thought plus my 3 year old fit in the backseat in the baby seat very comfortable and my kid is a tall 40 lbs

Same here, boom5747. Same here. The Chevy Spark is somewhat family-friendlier than my former ride.

Btw, here's a link to the Switchback LED post in case anyone is interested in them.

Thanks for sharing, man. That Switchback LED looks awesome.

I guess they just couldn't resist the charisma of a Chevy Spark.

That's a nice shade of lime! I like how it stands out from the other cars in the photos.

That looks fantastic, James! Definitely a sleek-looking ride, with a nice roof rack.

My grandmother owns a '13 Equinox. I own a '15 Spark. We both noticed the style is quite similar (headlights, controls, radio, ect.) Is it just us or do you guys notice it to? Its like Chevy shrunk the equinox and replaced the leather and such with plastic and cheap cloth. Not complaining. You get what you pay for in this market. We are both very content with our vehicles and joke how we should swap vehicles because she's 5' and I'm 5'11".

Definetely not a cheap smaller version of an equinox. I would go for a shrunk version of a chevy traxx as they kinda sorta belong in the same family.

I agree with Mr.tozzi on this one. You'd be better off choosing the Chevy Trax. A much wiser option.

And here is my trusted Spark, sitting up at the dealership, cursing me out, big time. Whoever gets this car, is really getting a great deal.

That looks great, man. Sleek and definitely a feast for the eyes.

Hmm, I think my cousin used to own one. I may have to ask him about his experience on this.

Try using Sea Foam additive or similar product available at Walmart & other auto part stores.

Dirty valves with carbon deposits could be one of the causes. That causes lower compression, misfires and rough idling. I am assuming your car is mechanically & electrically in good shape.

If that does not solve the problem, your car will need a valve job. $1500-$2500.

Yup, this worked for my brother as well. He was having the same problem with his Spark. The Sea Foam additive did the trick.

Thanks for sharing your feedback, everyone! A friend of mine is having the same problem with his ride. I'll let him know of the insights.

Like many others in the past, it's time for me to fly. But, for different reasons. If it were up to me, and me alone, I would have kept the Spark until it didn't run anymore. I never had an issue. I had that car longer than any car before it, and would still look at it and smile, to the fact that I'm 6'5" and it's a tiny car. But, as my luck goes, a long term relationship went sour, just two days ago I was left with two vehicle payments and I had to dump them quick.
As of last night, I traded the Spark and my Kia Soul for a 2016 Jeep Renegade. Luckily, the Soul had equity, because they only gave me $500 for the Spark, I owed $5900 on it. lol

The Jeep looks great, my friend. I have to admit, I was surprised when I read that you only got $500 for the Spark. I had to double-check if it's $5,000 or it was just really missing a zero. 

Man, that's a complete bummer. How's your car now? 

I'm glad to have found a great online community of fellow Chevy lovers, like me.  Cheers and lots of fun rides ahead!
