This diminutive hatchback is definitely not designed for long road trips, but it's effective and quiet in the city. While the version we tested was responsive at low speeds around town, be prepared to wait as it moseys up to higher speeds. Thankfully, the gearless automatic manages power well without droning engine noise.
#WHATS A GOOD CHEVROLET TRANSMISSION MANUAL#
Engine, Transmission, and PerformanceĮvery Spark has a feeble four-cylinder engine that drives the front wheels through either a five-speed manual or continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Keep it simple, as Chevy has done with regular Spark. The faux-off-road Activ trim isn't worth the cost.
#WHATS A GOOD CHEVROLET TRANSMISSION HOW TO#
If you don't know how to drive a car with a manual transmission, here is the incentive to learn. We can't, however, recommend the $1100 continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). While there is no Spark one could objectively say is "laden with content," the upcharge to the 1LT trim brings useful features, including satellite radio and keyless entry. The 2021 Spark receives the smallest of updates-a pair of new extra-cost paint options: Cayenne Orange metallic and Mystic Blue metallic are now on the list. Still, the 2021 Spark's surprisingly refined ride and nimble handling both help its valuation versus classmates. While we like the manual transmission and rev-happy four-cylinder, the engine's lack of passing power is glaring at highway speeds. Unfortunately, the hatchback's back seat is small and cargo space is limited unless the rear seats are folded, which is a cumbersome process. The Spark's interior has nicer materials than expected and a loaded infotainment system with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Chevy's subcompact hatchback is one of the cheapest new cars on sale, but its low price doesn't translate to low quality. The 2021 Chevy Spark presents a more affordable and more fuel-efficient alternative to small crossovers.
