Here's Why The 2022 Chevy Spark Is Dead on Arrival

quotes.everymandriver.com/ - Get matched in seconds with the right vehicle, at the right price and at the right dealer.
Good news, bad news… The 2022 Chevy Spark the only NEW American car under $15,000, also making it the cheapest new car in the USA. The BAD News iS, it’s officially DOA - dead on arrival. It’ll be discontinued in August 2022.
The Spark, has a starting price of only $13,600 MSRP. This low price undercuts the next cheapest car, the 2022 Mitsubishi Mirage ($14,645 MSRP), by over $1,000. When seeing the low price of the Chevy Spark, one might think that it is a low-quality car. However, this is not the case, for the Spark is a better car than its price suggests. While the Spark’s cabin is certainly not luxurious, it features higher quality materials than some other subcompact cars, such as the Mitsubishi Mirage.
If you want to buy a new Chevy Spark, then you’ll have to act soon. Production of the Spark will end in August 2022, marking the end of a 10-year run in the U.S. Like many other automakers, especially in America, Chevrolet plans to focus more on SUVs. As a result, cars such as the Spark suffer the fate of discontinuation.

Having owned a 2004 Saturn ion and now a 2016 chevy Spark, my opinion is that GM can use some critical thinking lessons when they stopped both brands. GM had the auto industry topped with the Saturn brand only to scrap it and let Ford take over with… junk. Now they have a second chance with this little “diamond in the rough”. I have drove my Spark now for 17,000 miles from 40k when I purchased it to almost 57k showing. Winter driving - I purchased dedicated directional snow tires, had them installed and was able to go in 8-10 inches with little problem. Now to watch GM fail to Toyota.

We have a 2019 spark base model that we got for gig work like DoorDash that we started doing in 2019. Has been a nice little car. We have the CVT, gas mileage isn’t as good as I hoped but certainly not as bad as my Dodge Challenger. We get 25 to 27mpg driving around the city and for a trip out of town it got 38 mpg. With the rising gas prices I have been driving this car daily much more often and still doing gig work. This car has become more valuable to us in our time having it. Didn’t really anticipate I would be driving it as much as I have or I would have gotten some options on it like power windows and power door locks lol. I might trade it for the 2022 Spark before it goes out of production if I can actually find them on dealer lots..

On some recent trips to Las Vegas, I rented various vehicles including Chevrolet Spark, Malibu, Impala, and a Nissan Versa. The Versa felt like the worst value. It had no personality and even less performance. Bland, boring, barely beats walking. But the Versa has a bit more grocery/ luggage space than the Spark. The Impala, Chevy's biggest sedan was my biggest disappointment. I expected to be rewarded for the extra money, but it felt cumbersome and had to be persuaded to do everything. It had plenty of power but it didn't exhibit any will (unlike an old RWD V8 from the sixties that would launch hard with fundersteer whenever you just tapped the gas). The Malibu's cabin layout was not as friendly as my daughter's Cruze (but it was better than my old Cavalier). The 2020 Spark LT promised little but pleasantly delivered more. Not a Cruze, but didn't feel a need to penalize you for going cheap. It doesn't constantly remind you that you were driving a CVT in stop n' go driving (way better feel than the Versa CVT). Alas, there's no room under the Spark's hood for a turbo (just a wish, not a need).

[@mrcodcommando3939]

Bruh you're literally buying brand new cheapest car models

[@drwisdom1]

Used to be whoever makes the best value vehicles wins. But for now whoever makes the most vehicles wins. So it wouldn't be logical to shutdown production of a vehicle line, especially fuel efficient ones that are sure to sell above sticker price. But if a manufacturer is suffering from production limitations then they have to cancel their cheapest vehicles and cannibalize the parts for their more expensive vehicles.

[@kerstonhuston540]

That's a great point but I was thinking with car demand high, availability low, less people having children and in the midst of a recession, you'd think an auto manufacturer would use one of their lesser brands to release cheaper compact cars. That might mean lower profits now, but I think there's many ways the brand could capitalize later.

I'd say the biggest concern with Chevrolet is with their transmissions though, and these cars come with manual variants which will be much more reliable. Don't get automatic and definitely don't get CVT. Even Toyota is struggling to wrap their heads around CVT transmissions. Have a 2010 Chevy Traverse that was very well taken care of. The only issues that came up aside from transmission were 2 power steering pump failures, an oxygen sensor failure, premature wear of its first timing belt, and a battery that stopped holding a charge. All the buttons still work to this day and it didn't have any real issues last I had it running. The SUV is not on the road anymore because it's 6 speed automatic blew out at 138k miles. No weird problems or behavior that suggested it was about to go prior to its failure outside of the occasional rough shift. Was just pulling out of my neighborhood and the transmission exploded while going into 2 gear. Started sounding like a blender in there and I lost power to the wheels. The transmission was consistently proving to be a nightmare with the traverse. It had to be serviced 4 separate times prior to finally going out. Tl;dr: The reviews and comments on videos like these suggest that you should be fine getting a spark as long as it is a manual transmission variant.

I'm 6'5" and she had the car when we started dating, I was a bit bummed at the size of th car at first, but after moving to 3 states, many, many road trips and it being our daily commuter car (+ rising gas prices) I am actually really glad she had this car. Edit: It also has crank door windows and no automatic door locks, and honestly I'm glad because that's just more stuff that would probably break considering the price of the car and the cheap parts used for he interior. As long as th engine is good, that is great. I hope it lasts us a good long time. Knock on wood!

We own a 2015. It could last you 10 years.

Not a very smart move GM . Gas prices are high, inflation is high, people could use more affordable and thrifty cars.

[@ExcelTutorials1]

Awesome video!

[@lgwappo]

The chip shortage made this a $22,500 car. I just got a new 2022 LS last Friday. Still might be the cheapest car, chip shortage hit everything.

[@jz4853]

I wish they told the media price. Average is affected by high and low numbers.

I ordered a new stick shift Spark just before Memorial Day. Still waiting for it.

I have a 2020 Spark and totally love it!

[@MrBlack-wt5er]

I can't believe Chevy is going to scrap the spark with gas prices as high as they are and invest that money into SUV's! I guess consumers haven't been beaten down enough at the pump, maybe once they are paying 160 dollars for a tank of gas with their SUV they will buy more economical vehicles!

[@phiksit]

Naw, they'll just keep bitching about gas prices and buy the gas guzzlers 🙄

[@mrrice117]

I have a chevy sonic rs hatch, the sparks bigger brother. I love it, especially with these gas prices i spend less than 150 dollars a month with 6 dollars a gallon. I was lucky enough to buy it in 2020 so i paid 11 for it. I see other sonics going for almost 20,000 for a LS trim with 100,000 miles

Read the room GM, not everyone can afford a $20,000 car or more, or even needs an SUV. I personally have the 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 and I absolutely love the thing! I also traded an SUV for it. I applaud Mitsubishi for understanding the need for these economical compact type cars, not everyone needs all the bells and whistles, but mine has just enough plus it gets amazing gas mileage, and has a 10 year warranty. I also know the reliability for these types of cars is there as well. This is really dumb on GM’s part as far as I’m concerned.

Perfect car to be towed behind an RV.

It's the end of June, 2022 and I can't recall seeing one of these on any Chevy dealer's lots, tho they do advertise them in their print ads (loss leaders?). My guess is that if you see one of these Sparks it's as a rental car rented by someone who can't/won't spring for the upgrade.

[@PatriceBoivin]

Check the YAA channel, they go over car supplies at dealerships. Basically the dealers can't get vehicles from manufacturers due to supply chain issues. So the dealers increase prices per vehicle.

[@petercollingwood522]

I got mine in 21. So far it's been a good car. I now have 25K on it and the infotainment screen just went dark on me. It still works, you just can't see anything on it unless your in the dark. This is not and issue with the Spark per se but an issue with touch screen devices across the board. It just went out of warranty last month so of course I'll be screwed getting it fixed. The basic car is still a good mechanical device, but I've read a lot on line about various GM vechicles with stupid amounts of electronic issues so althougth I like the looks of the new Trax I doubt I'll be buying anything GM again.

[@Pdubbcooking]

How rare is the 2LT? I never see them used even going back a few years.

[@OneWheelMan]

One correction: starting price of the Mirage is $16,245 per their website, which is higher than the $14,645 stated in this video.

[@3rdWorldNola]

Harder to test drive today with inventory so low. And I've had a few salesmen diss the MSRP and price quotes saying they don't sell anything at MSRP. Maybe go to a Chevy or Chrysler dealership for deals. 😔

[@PatriceBoivin]

Check the YAA channel, dealers are adding extra fake fees to the MSRPs because of low supplies.

[@bbcrenner]

Range comparisons?

[@llamaface6229]

I love my Sparkie! I bought mine in 2017 brand new $9,999 CDN right off the lot.

[@SMD-si7fm]

Bought a 2022 a 1 week ago today. Up to 800 miles, average of 36.7 mpg mostly city. Had to get the CVT due to them no longer being in production and no manuals avaliable in my state. The CVT is alright. Still getting used to it, but it's definitely comparable to a NA miata with more tech and of course fwd. Definitely not disappointed, the handling is absolutely insane. Highly impressed.

[@phiksit]

SO pissed because I had my Spark all spec'd out the with what I wanted. Then I get a call one week later that they can't get it with the 5 speed. That was one of main selling points for me, there's really nothing similar out there and I don't trust the longevity of those CVT transmissions.

I just got mine a 21' LS. I've owned and driven plenty of high performance cars over the past 10 years and I got to say in terms of fun, this thing is up there with them. Its nimble, turns very well and yes this thing makes 40MPG which is an excellent drivers car. Mine is the base model but still has plenty of creature comforts, spacious cab, NICE radio, and air con and heating, not much more you can ask for.

[@mcciaccio]

Can I just get my old 5spd geo metro agaim with manual windows and a heater. That thing got like 45mpg and for like $75 you could drive it 1/2 way across the country and I paid very little for it. You could park it everywhere. I just want a small get around car for errands etc so I don’t have to drive my oversized work trucks everywhere. Why are we discontinuing all the small cars? Do I have to import one from Europe or Asia?

[@dylanwelsford6391]

It’s really sad. This is one of the last basic cars with a manual transmission. Not everyone wants a damn SUV and most of them are automatic. I also love Nissan Micra, Mazda2, Honda Fit, all discontinued 😢

[@Henry-fm6ql]

I bought in April of 2020 a Chevy spark. The car gets hella judged for sure Gas when I got my car obviously cheap at the time $1.45 where I live and let me tell you the fact that I filled my tank with $14 -$15 bucks in 2020-2021 and get a range of 325-345 miles god smacked Now I pay $20-$25 bucks to fill up, blessed asf It comes with Apple car play Back up camera I can unlock/lock my little car with my phone I’m your basic mid 20’s adult and no regrets with this purchase Also super lucky in timing of when I got my car Global pandemic no one’s really purchasing anything or driving Many of the dealerships were over stocked I got my spark discounted 6k off the total. Really no cars were selling at the time. So definitely look at the market, see what going on around you

[@williamegler8771]

Most people aren't auto enthusiasts and just want an affordable new car with a warranty to take them to points A and B. A Chevy Spark must hit that spot for a lot of people because they seem pretty popular.

The Starting MSRP is not $13,600, the base model of this car starts at $10,398 CAD, if you buy the bare bones, no options manual with the $1800 freight charge, the car is only $12,198 CAD before taxes.

[@jbeats1930]

[@vincemistretta8999]

Idiots at GM to kill off this car with gas prices they way they are! Lucky me I have a 17 Spark LT and 19 Spark LS super car with all safety features plus great gas mileage & super reliable nice looks too..Chevy just continues to kill off their cars as a Chevy loyalist I just bought an 06 Monte Carlo so instead of looking forward I am going back.

[@davidshepley8803]

I swear GM's Mary Barra is trying to run the company into the ground. Chip shortage aside, sales of Buicks are terrible. Cadillac sedan sales are way down (have you ever seen ANY advertising for the sedans?). Most advertising is for the Cadillac Lyriq. You can't even buy it yet and the cost is going to be north of $70K (just try to find one in the 60's). All Chevy SUV's are rated inferior to their competition (Traverse, Blazer, Trailblazer, Equinox and Trax). Nobody rates the Silverado above the Ram or F-150. When is the GM Board of Directors going to wake up and see what is going on?

[@louisbabycos106]

She was chosen intentionally to run it it the ground . She is a globalist .

[@stevenkreiss2113]

I drive a 21 spark and drives fine...

[@NickZethof]

Makes me sad as a Spark owner. It's a great car, and if they kept it on they'd own the subcompact market. Toyota already nixed the Micra, and the Mirage is garbage

They made that mistake about such cars in the mid 2000s, leading them into bankruptcy in the late 2000s. There're doing it again. Will they ever learn?

Nope

Everyone seems to want an SUV or Crossover though. Otherwise sales number would have been higher. What a shame.

Has anyone here driven the Chevy Spark and Fiat 500 and Mini Cooper? Looking for a small car with manual transmission for a daily drive to work. The V8 SUV is premium thirty and all the compact parking spaces at work is crazy... Which small car is nimble and fun to drive?

[@freq32]

You're not even mentioning the length of the car, which is a top reason to have a compact, living in an urban area, this makes your car a "supercar" when it comes to parking. May want to factor that in.

[@unknownkingdom]
