Looks like a cool ride. Let us know your mileage and such when you get home. I bet it does not try to stall out when you turn the air on like our G10s. Great shot man.

Fastest Hampster EVER

What size engine? Air bags and emissions? (adds weight). Weight of car?

I bet it weighs in just under 3K pounds, has at least a 1.3L, and enough emissions and safety features to add three hundred pounds.

But if it gets over 45mpg and costs under $1500.00 I'd consider it over my metro. :D

Guess I'll have to wait a few years for the resale value to drop to nothing. hehe.

1.2L 4 cylinder. 10 airbags. Normal emissions every other 2013+ car has. 2,350lbs.

My Cruze Eco weighs 3k lbs. Why would you think the Spark, 2/3 the size, would weigh as much? It weighs 550 lbs more than a '95+ Metro. You can thank the EPA for that.

Most people on fuelly are averaging 38 MPG, while two are averaging 48 MPG. You can get them for as little as $9,400 in my area.

Prices are dropping fast on these. I saw one with every option with 10k miles go for $12k. 1 year old & sold for $5k less than what it was when brand new.

These Sparks have been in the global market since 1998. We just got the 3rd generation in the US last summer. They are selling very well & I see a lot buzzing around Lansing.

:gp 2350 is pretty light actually. A lot of new cars are just bulky for no reason, so I understand where dayle may have been coming from.
