    Chevy Spark that I had was similar to Mirage but fell short...

    My definition of "cheap" is somewhat different apparently.

    LOL don't make the mistake of clicking on the next story about the best "City Cars" which include such easy to park city car gems like a G-Wagen, and a RR Phantom...

    There's that and since when is a $40k lexus considered an economy car? And who in their right mind wouldn't say a fiesta doesn't suck, except maybe the ST. I'm not really into polished turds though. I prefer mine plain.

    Chevy Spark is Opel Karl in Europe. Cute car, I used it many many times. However, forget the high ways due to noisy engine after 50km/h, very little space compare to Mirage even though it is 5 places car. The only similar part with Mirage is 3 cylindre engine. Much more quite engine compare to Mirage but sooo agressif. For me, a spark is just a micro car for going to the supermarket from home and alone ��.

    Our Chevy Spark in the States would have a 1.4 L , non-turbo, 4-cylinder engine with 98 horsepower.

    I didn't know Sparks had 3 cylinders in other markets.

    It's the final year for the Spark here. I hate to see small economy car options leave, especially cars like the Yaris & Fit.
