Model years to avoid

Chevrolet Spark

What it says about you

Opinion

About as small as a car gets here, bought for a city and a budget. It parks anywhere and you never worry about it.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

10 model years on record, 526 complaints filed.

The years to look at closely: 2015 (unable), 2014 (check engine), 2013 (having). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.
