Jopar_X 7 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hello all. I am the new proud owner of a 2014 Spark, in black. Had my first experience driving to work today, and I freakin' love this car already. I'm also super new to the forum, and look forward to meeting all of you. Rock on.

bluer101 241 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Welcome to the club. How's the AC? Jopar_X 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jopar_X 7 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Welcome to the club. How's the AC? This is an interesting question. And the reason, is my old car had a broken AC for years. It gets hot here in southern california. So...I LOVE my AC. lol Once the 'dating phase' has passed, I'll be able to give you a more honest answer lol Link to post Share on other sites

Greg_E 211 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 We also need to start working on the SCCA to make a rule exception for our cars for Solo only, though it is too tall, I think the CG is lower than most cars. Maybe make us run with traction control on so that stability control is also active. Not that I would expect to win against stock Mini's with their 40 horse power advantage (H stock), but because it would be fun to run an accepted car because it opens up all the tracks/courses.

austex04 48 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Welcome! Manual is the way to go on small cars! I would think this car could keep pace with a Metro or Aspire, lol, but most of us care more how far it goes on a gallon of gas than how fast it goes. Black is pretty, but you should consider unlimited monthly car washes and car dusters. Edited July 26, 2013 by austex04 Jopar_X 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Trancer07 30 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Welcome! I think you are the first person here with a '14. I just bought my '13 almost 3 weeks ago. Welcome! Manual is the way to go on small cars! I would think this car could keep pace with a Metro or Aspire, lol, but most of us care more how far it goes on a gallon of gas than how fast it goes. Black is pretty, but you should consider unlimited monthly car washes and car dusters.You're talking about 15-20 year old budget hatchbacks. I think the Spark could smoke a Metro.

brillo 4 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Don't even think about using a car wash with a black car, duster is a good idea Jopar_X 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Jopar_X 7 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'll have to check when I get off of work tonight. I didn't know they were out either, until the dealership called me. I told her the specs I wanted, and then was like, "We don't have any 2013's, but I just got a 2014 with those specs. Want it?" lol I used an expletive, followed by the word 'Yes' lol Link to post Share on other sites
Markerbeacon 5 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 There are several of us here with 2014's. Loving ours! Welcome! Jopar_X 1 Link to post Share on other sites
yuwan63755 8 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Welcome and congratulations. Just bought a '13 on 5-31, but due to problems, GM is buying back and my black granite '14 2LT is sitting on dealer lot waiting for GM to finish their paperwork and then swap my '13 for the '14. Won't get into problems I had with the '13 until the paperwork is completed and I am in my '14. Once again, congratulations on your purchase.

I'd definitely like to hear what was wrong with it. It must have been more than just an AC problem, I'm guessing. Edited August 2, 2013 by Trancer07 Link to post Share on other sites
