>1L engine
kill yourself

get a Suzuki Swift

>buying a rebadged Daewoo

>>14308726
But anon, I'm shopping for fuel economy. Wouldn't you get a 1L if thats what you were looking for? Still under factory warranty by the way. Gotta think about that, too.

>>14308734
gas is cheap as fuck right now anyways.

Why not get a 1.4 or 1.6?

>>14308734
Gas is 1.49 where I live and you're shopping for fuel economy? Nigga you cray. Buy a used civic and fuck off

>>14308746
I have $10,000 to drop on a car and there are a few of these that were 2015 demos sitting at the dealer. Can't find shit that's good on gas with under 10k miles in the area except for these.

Also, just because gas is cheap now doesn't mean it wont go up and even if it kept dropping, I'm still paying less than the average driver if I own one of these because I'm essentially getting double or triple the mileage.

Next gen looks way better. Wait a few months

>general motors

enjoy dying when the ignition switch fails

>>14308767
So buy a used civic for 5k and gtfo. Sparks are shit.

>84hp
>built for the korean market
>gutless
>did i mention gutless?

>>14308772
I'm not buying it for the looks, I'm buying it because $9000/4000 miles, factory warranty.

>>14308777
Didn't they address that shit?

>>14308818
I live around Chicago. No mountains here. 84hp is more than enough power for out here.

>>14308702
Talking to somebody who rented one, he described it as the most miserable driving experience possible.

one of the few cars where the EV version is more fun and better than the gas version

mostly because the motor they got for the ev is only like 120hp but fucking 400 foot pounds of torque, what the fuck?

>gas prices don't fluctuate!

Oh wow, never thought I'd see idiots like these in here.

>>14308702
If you want fuel economy. Get a diesel.

Alright, OP once more. I should mention that I'm going to be putting on around 40k miles a year for the next five years on anything I buy. I feel the Spark would be good for that because I'd drive my money out of it, but again, I worry about older cars given that I need to put 200k miles on them.

>>14308702
They are slow as fuck, have attrocious road noise and have piss poor brakes. Go for it OP.

>>14308702
I don't know the prices on those tiny little econoboxs but you might want to look into a Ford Fiesta (MANUAL ONLY) or Toyota Yaris or Honda Fit. Much better reviewd cars.

holy shit this looks worse than fit or fiesta.

Ill fucking kill myself if I absolutelt need to ride one

>>14308881
If your traveling that much. Get something bigger.

I was considering a soark or a clio a used one maybe a 2010 clio expressuon clio looks better so far rhe only thing i like of this one is the low price its gobna be my first car I get with my money since gramps actually gave me a mazda tribute but thet robbed it.

I've been in one of these once.
It's shit.

No, really. It's utter shit. Buy literally anything else.

>>14308907
>Get something bigger.
thats what your dad said to your mom

>Asks for opinions
>Gets mad when opinions are contrary
Never change

>>14308881
this
>>14308907

Spark is for someone that travels like 10-20 miles a day. Two months in a spark and you will be looking for another car. Those tiny econoboxes are for people that cant afford something more, people that dont drive and retards.

>>14308933
your opinion is objectively shit

>>14308702
I'd get either a MT fiesta base models or honda fit

a little more but cars you wont hate yourself for driving daily

>>14308865
>implying a civic or a 1.4 liter engine gets bad fuel economy

are you that much of a shill that you cant afford to fill up a civic even if gas hits 3-4 dollars a gallon?

OP again, how do you guys feel about the Honda Civic? 2012 model.

>>14308980
Honda Civic is not a meme, it's a genuinely good normie car. It's only a meme because it's like the de-facto normie car. It's reliable, cozy and just all around nice.

>>14308952

Do you even know what shill means? Or do you just regurgitate everything that you read in here like a moron?

>>14308881
Lots of highway miles? Get a used volvo S60 or 80. Nice and comfy.

>>14308992
I'm just searching for cars in the sticky at this point. Thanks. I'm just having trouble finding a good manual transmission anything out here.

>>14308980
Just get a van and live in it m8. A V8 that doesnt run gets way better than a 4 cyl commuting all day.

>>14309012
Aren't foreign cars a fortune to maintain? I'm just an apprentice and on a bit of a budget.

>>14309016
I own a home. Used to live out of my truck otr. Never doing that again.

>>14309016
better MPGs*

>>14309019
>drving 40k miles/year

Nigga you gonna be living in your fucking car. Sell your house and get a van.

>>14309024
Its 25 miles there, 25 miles back, twice a day. Hours aren't long, just have to go to and from.

>>14309033

Fit or Fiesta.

>>14309033
Consider packing a lunch rather than going home.

>>14309033
muh fugga, 50 miles a day plus whatever you put on it when not commuting only equals like 12-15k miles/year. Get a real fucking car you cheap fuck.

>>14309019
>Aren't foreign cars a fortune to maintain?
Depends on the car. Yes, the German "premium" brands tend to charge a lot for parts, but Ford-era Volvos share a fair few bits with their Ford-branded cousins and most pre-Ford Volvos will last pretty much for fucking ever.

I had a 2013 one of these as a rental a week ago. Holy hell it was awful. 84 hp and literally more torque in my lug nuts maymay. I'm 6'4" and my knees were up against the steering wheel. Getting on the highway was not fun with its 14 second 0-60. The only reason I would ever buy this Korean hunk of shit would be if it was $1k and I would proceed to spray paint "Mr. Scooty" on the sides and break the shit out of it. I didn't think someone would actually buy these at full price. Picture is the pos itself.

>>14309019
Sure, more than a spark but you get more power, more comfy, and you don't look like a massive faggot.

>>14309051

He said twice a day, Jesus this board is full of idiots.

>>14309097
still doesnt equal 40k miles a year smart guy.

>>14309075
>assmad lanklet
kek, you're not a real person

>>14309075
Yeah, this thread has officially talked me out of the Spark. I really don't like the Fiesta or Rio either, though, so now I'm just sifting through Cars.com like a jackass in search of a vehicle.

>>14309109
Dude, you think I literally only go to work and back? I can easily put on 10k more a year fucking around.

>>14309116
then just buy a corolla/civic and stfu

>>14309097
>100mi/day
>5 days/week
24k a year, if 6 days a week, 30k

>>14309109

313 weekdays x 100 miles = 31,300

Plus weekends travels and everything in between.

>>14309131
The only way you can put 10k a year just dicking around town is if you have no fucking life. fuck off neet, grown up are talking here.

>>14309133
This is definitely the most sure-fire way to get something that'll start every morning. Just do general maintenance and it'll outlive you.

>>14309146
So anon, you don't:
Travel
Go on dates
Drive to your hobbies
Drive to the store
Drive to get food
Drive to get gas

There is so much shit you do every year that isn't your commute that I couldn't imagine how you couldn't pile on the miles unless you live in a city or suburbs. I live in BFE, so everything is fucking out of the way. Why are you even holding arguments over this when you can bash me perfectly fine and be accepted for it over the choice of Spark?

>>14309111
>manlets talking

>>14309172
>living in the middle of nowhere
Anon, you are not the norm. Fuck off.

>>14308881
a 1.0 tiny rattlecan on highways is just stupid
consider a chevy cruze diesel or at least a civic

I don't understand what makes the 1.8 a Civic has so much better than the 1.0 that the Spark has. Still OP, still need spoon feeding. You guys seem to fucking love the Civic, but find the Spark laughable. Why?

>>14309195
because the civic is bigger, more powerful, less noisy, more comfortable by a country mile, built better and has a better reputation for reliability than anything compact or subcompact that GM makes.
i own a chevy and i love it but i can tell you that their econoboxes are miserable, slow and loud

>>14309195
Because the Spark is objectively terrible.
The tiny engine will need to work its ass off in order to get you up to any kind of speed, which will dramatically lower empeegees. It'll also be very very noisy on the highway, which will probably drive you mad.
The interior on the Spark is a disaster. Cheap plastic shit everywhere, no room, no quality.

Now, compare that to the 1.8l Civic you mentioned.
It has a bigger, more capable engine, which allows you to cruise on the highway in a higher gear (at lower RPMs), increasing empeegees. You'll also be able to actually overtake people, which is a nice little bonus.
The interior is all around better. More room for everyone, better quality finish, better ride.
There's a reason the advice "buy a Civic and shut the fuck up" exists. The Civic is a good little car.

>>14309183
i live in a city and i put 12-13,000km easy just traveling to my cottage, groceries, going to my girlfriends, random drives in the country and trips to generally get shit

>>14309195
The spark isnt a car for people that drive far on a regular basis. Its something for people that only drive like 5 miles to work and then back. Its basically a scooter for people that want four wheels. It barely qualifies as a car.

>>14309239
>km
Miles you mong.

>>14309195
I don't like civics but I know that the civic isnt a sub compact. Also it has almost double the displacement over the spark. So why is it so hard to grasp that civic is better?

>>14309195
if your dead set on a 10k car, theres lot of low mileage civics for that price at dealerships
or if your dead set on a chev, at least buy a cruze or something less shitty

>>14309250
i dont use miles, i use kilometers. like the rest of the civilized world

>>14309264
Ok negro, let me spell this out for you. We are talking, lets say 12,000 miles. In kilometers that would be a bit over 19,000km. So your previous post>>14309239 is meaningless. You can fuck off now also.

>>14309291
you were actually talking 10k miles. which is like 16k km
which in turn isnt that much farther from what i was talking about
So, that being said, putting that much mileage on a car on things other than commuting is possible, and (especially in canada) more likely than not

>>14309253
My search parameters have been thus:

>used
>under 30k miles
>within 200 miles of Chicago

What do you anon think of the Chevy Sonic? Or, would it have the same ignition problems all other GM's have? Because if thats the case, I'll just fuck off the another make.

>>14309321
also "negro" i live in a city. so anyone else that may live in suburbs or in the country could easily drive the difference

The Spark is a pile of shit and you should avoid it, here's a list of alternatives that are infinitely better:

Ford Fiesta
Kia Rio
Mazda 2
Scion iA
Honda Fit
Chevrolet Sonic
Toyota Yaris
Hyundai Accent

>>14309231
>muh overtake
>muh cut
this is what overcompensating faggots actually think

Go find a 3-5 year old Prius and get that.

>>14309663
I forgot to say that im straight

how about you use the 12 thousand dollars to buy one for fuel for your current shitbox

>>14309709
suck my balls faggot

>>14308702
Get a scion iA. It's a rebadged Mazda2 sedan. At least test drive it before you buy the sanic.

>>14309740
heres another smart idea, use 1000 from your 12k budget for a cheap reliable runabout from the 90's to save fuel, and use the remaining 11k as fuel monie

It's a free country, but there's a reason why everyone drives a Honda Civic.

>>14309752
I wish they just brought the Mazda 2 here instead, the Scion iA is kind of butchered styling wise.

>>14309765
It's like they tacked on that front and without even seeing what the car looked like. Still though it's the closest we got and we still get that sweet interior.

>>14309756
this

You can find a Toyota Tercel in my area for less than 2k, I saw an Insight for $3500 (thing gets like 51mpg....hypermiiiiiiiile)

>>14309765
scion looks better you mongrel

>>14309663
Hop in your prius and get the fuck outta here.

Dad had an sonic and it was the worst thing ever

>>14308980
2012 model sucked anon, 2011 or 2013 are much better, I'm leaning towards a 2014 civic in my own car search

>>14308702
I test drove one.

My bicycle has more horsepower.

The accelerator doesn't actually make the car go faster. It just makes the engine slightly louder, even when you downshift.

>>14309973
>muh horsepower
dagumi repeatedly showed that skill > speed

>>14308818
>84hp
Who gives a shit, I get by just fine with 99 in a car that's probably heavier.

>>14308702
Fucking gay shitbox

>>14309996
Go test drive a Spark and then say that.
