In an automotive landscape dominated by big trucks, SUVs, and crossover sedans, the Chevy Spark is a unique, if not retro, take on an efficient automobile.

Smaller cars like the Spark used to be more common when automakers struggled to make vehicles efficient and practical at the same time. With advancements in ICE technology as well as hybrid drive systems, efficiency is no longer the main driver of this vehicle segment. This fact is not lost on GM and thus the primary function of the Chevy Spark is fun, pure and simple.

The 1.4-liter Ecotec engine takes care of that with ease. The peppy 4-cylinder paired with the minimal 2,300-lb curb weight makes for a package that can't help but be zippy and quick. The Spark is also one of the few mass-production vehicles remaining available with a 5-speed manual transmission. The peppy engine, nimble handling, and connected cockpit make the Spark an unexpected breath of fresh air.
