    MotorBiscuit: The 2020 Chevy Spark Struggled to Do Anything Well.

    Its seems whenever the Spark is mentioned the Mirage is disparaged in the same article lol.

    FFS, it is a $15,000 economy car! What do these idiots expect? Seven second zero-to-sixty times? Tech that would make a Lexus owner feel cheated? Mercedes-level build quality? BMW-esque handling??

    Why are they bothering to review the absolute cheapest economy cars in the first place if their advice is always going to be, "Spend more money."?

    I imagine these PR firms get alot of kickbacks pushing Americans into car loans they can barely afford.

    Are we really going to give any credence to a site called "Motor Biscuit"? 'Nuff said.

    Isn't the Spark forum just a bunch of people complaining about their car? There's always the reviewer/journalist opinion vs the consumer/user opinion.
