Pros
Ride and Handling
Quiet and Quick.
Reliability
No problems starting and running.
Seat Comfort
Comfortable front seats.
Cons
Cargo Space
Very small back cargo space.
Interior Space
very small back seat area.
Technology and Entertainment
I have to carefully plan my trips so I do not try to drive too far and discharge the battery.
Pros
Fuel Economy
I pay nothing for gas. At all. I don't have a charger at home. So, I charge on the street. And I have maybe spent $200 since January in charging.
Cabin Noise
Electric cars are notoriously quiet, and this car is no exception. It is so quiet. The car is such a delight to drive.
Seat Comfort
This car is surprisingly comfortable for a subcompact. The seats are very comfortable in the front seat. The back seat isn't really for riding long distances, but then again neither is this car.
Cons
Cargo Space
If you need cargo space, don't get this car. It is a subcompact. It is for getting around, not hauling things.
Technology and Entertainment
I don't love the Chevy MyLink system. This system isn't even in the newer models. It does take a good minute and a half for your phone to link up to the bluetooth system.
Visibility
There is one completely blind spot in the back right side. The box shape of the car makes it so that the back right corner has no window and that is exactly where you need to look when pulling out of a parking spot. It is not a big enough con for me to wish I didn't buy this car.
Pros
Safety
My family was safe when our Spark EV was totaled.
Cost to Maintain
No gas. Never. Plus the brakes last MUCH longer that "normal" cars because the electric motor is used to decelerate the car.
Power
It has more torque that the platform was designed for. It can chirp the tires from 0-40 mph!
Cons
Interior Space
This is a small car. Only seats four. There is not a seatbelt in the center of the rear seat.
Cargo Space
If you want to transport more than a carry on sized bag, then the rear seats must come down.
Technology and Entertainment
Cheap speakers, no back up camera option, OnStar guidance is voice only. No map.
Pros
Cost to Maintain
It had like 0 maintenance costs
Cabin Noise
Extremely quiet
Reliability
Very reliable car
Cons
Braking
Breaks were dangerous at best
Seat Comfort
Not the best seats in the world
Fuel Economy
It just doesn’t have enough range
Pros
Fuel Economy
MPG is good.
Styling
I do like the way it looks. Hatchbacks are my kind of cars.
Cons
Power
Literally no power.
Reliability
Constantly anxious of the transmission going out.
