Five-Point Inspection: 2013 Chevrolet Spark

Refreshingly Practical for a Subcompact

Inexpensive doesn’t have to mean impractical and that’s something the Spark is out to prove. With five doors and space for four passengers, it’s one of the cheapest options on the market today. If you buy one get used to hearing two things from passengers: first, that the car is tiny; second, their surprise at how spacious and useable the rear seats are.

In fact, the car even has enough trunk space to fit a surprisingly large grocery load, even with the seats up.
