  1. Please don not buy one of these turds, I have one and am so sorry, on my second engine, sat at chevy dealer for a couple of weeks to repair oil consumption, hood latch recalled---probably wear from constantly checking the oil....now at 50,000 it needs wheel bearings. All my previous auto mobile I usually got 250,000 to over 300,000 mile of use. This turd is never going to make it to 100,000
  2. I have the manual 2013 and the lowest mpg I have had was 38.6 on a 250 mile trip with 4 people in the car, the best was 51 mpg on a mostly Interstate trip going 60 mph with just my very wispy thin wife and myself., I use the old school method of filling the car up, noting the mileage and calculating the mpg at next fillup. Not sure about relying on the electronic---"fuelie thingy"
  3. My yellow seats look terrible when they just get wet, like from getting into your car from the rain, I use turtle wax upholstery shampoo foam. It makes it look a lot better , but I am looking for some sort of seat covers that do not cover up air bags...I have looked at 2 other lemonades and they look like mine....Tim
  4. Taking my 2013 Spark into Rick Hendricks tomorrow October 1, 2014 for the recall for oil consumption . Had the engine replaced almost 20,000 miles ago and I had just started noticing that it was using some oil again when I got the letter. Had to wait about 3 weeks for the appointment, but the dealership has been really good about fixing the car. Also have the ac recall but the AC always seems to be fine but will get them to look at it while there. Have had to add almost a quart since last oil change , have been changing oil at between 3-4000 miles. Hope the PCV thing is all that is wrong , c
  5. I got mine back yesterday, Rick Hendricks in Charleston, sc were very good to deal with, it took a while for the replacement engine to arrive. The new engine seems much quieter than the original one, they want to change the oil in 3,000 miles, I may do it sooner for the first oil change......Tim
  6. That is what I am wondering, is the new engine an updated one--version 2.0 ?
  7. The thing is so small, 10 minutes to wash it by hand.......................
  8. Also n South Carolina, have a Lemonade 5 speed.........love the the little car..............Tim Harmon

  10. I am in the same boat, I had the oil changed at the dealership every 5-6000 miles( the manual says 7,500 but I thought I was taking good care of it) but now the engine is being replaced at 27,500 miles....I feel like I should get the 36,000 additional mile warranty for the new engine, not sure it the new one is an improved --updated version or not yet.............Tim
  11. Mine started using a lot of oil, over 2 quarts in 2,000 miles, first noticed it when the warning came on at about 3, 000 miles after an oil change, my wife was on the Cooper River Birdge when the scrolling warning came on the dash,the Advance auto parts guy helped her put nearly 3 quarts in the car. It started using a quart of oil every 1,000 miles. I am getting a new engine after 27,500 miles of use. I love the car , it was still running good, getting 40+ mpg but using a lot of oil before they decided to swap the engine out.....should be getting it back soon..Had 27,500 miles on it
  12. I have a 2013 and when the warning came on it needed almost three quarts, the oil had been changed within 3000 miles, have gone through the oil consumption test and getting a new engine at 27,500 miles............Tim
