Dirk...he didn't buy it...it's a rental car he's using while traveling.
Fast forward to 2:30 and start watching. That's when he unloads on Jatco...LOL.
If you watch the whole video, he's actually somewhat complimentary of the concept of a "city" car.Scotty Says...
"It has a crappy Jatco automatic transmission."
"They make some of the worst CVTs in the world."
"If you buy a car like this and take care of it, it can last a while...other than the CVT transmission."

He then goes onto to say the cvt/engine isnt stressed out at all and should last, which I give him credit for, but if he talked to Fummins about reliability of a Spark vs a Mirage he'd be in for an earfull I bet lol. And sorry, I thought he bought it. Still though, shilling for a Daewoo over Mitsubishi, he should know better.
This is all so confusing. I don't know what to believe anymore. Does this mean Scotty is not so bad, or he is as bad as everyone says? And what about poor city cars and their owners? Gosh, I hope they don't start protesting too.

Scotty rented a Chevy Spark on a recent trip, & he was surprised by it somewhat. He was amazed at what 98 hp could do & how the car handled. I don't think he gave the car an endorsement, because he's quick to slam any vehicle with a Jatco transmission. Scotty talks about whatever car is around him. That's what he does. If you asked him to work on your Mirage, it may appear in his youtube.com clip. I wouldn't put that much stock into it.
Others on this forum have rented Chevy Sparks, & they have been somewhat positive. Personally, I have never heard a strong endorsement for Daewoo cars from anyone. I didn't even bother to look at a Spark, because it is made by them. Like almost all vehicles he talks about, Scotty mentions a manual Spark may not be that bad of a car. Its weak link is the Jatco CVT, & I think Fummins has confirmed that for all of us in the past, too.

I didn't actually watch it.

Scotty would probably be the last person on the planet to buy a vehicle with a Jatco transmission. No one slams them more than him. I highly doubt he would buy any vehicle with a CVT.
He uses rental cars when he flies elsewhere, & he was impressed by how well the Spark did on the highway. Scotty freely talks about any car he uses or works on. Whatever car is in his world, he talks about it.
Another fact: Scotty claims he has spent less $8,000 total on vehicles for himself (excluding his wife's cars) in his lifetime. Buying a new Spark would put him way over budget.
