Keep it simple, as Chevy has done with regular Spark. The faux-off-road Activ trim isn't worth the cost. If you don't know how to drive a car with a manual transmission, here is the incentive to learn. We can't, however, recommend the $1100 continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). While there is no Spark one could objectively say is "laden with content," the upcharge to the 1LT trim brings useful features, including satellite radio and keyless entry. Unfortunately, Chevy announced that the Spark will be discontinued after the 2022 model year, with production lasting through August. Its calling card is still being one of the least expensive new cars on the market, undercutting the similarly inexpensive Mitsubishi Mirage by about $1500. The 2022 Spark enters the new model year without any significant changes. For the best driving experience, we recommend the manual transmission that's available across all trims, which is unusual nowadays. Every 2022 Spark has an engine that's anemic at highway speeds, but it works fine around town and in traffic where the car's nimbleness shines. Plus, Chevy's content-rich infotainment system stands out as intuitive and easy to use. Its interior certainly isn't spiffy, but it doesn't suffer from the iffy materials that mar alternatives from Mitsubishi. While cramped rear quarters is common in this class, the Hyundai Accent and the Kia Rio are slightly roomier than the Spark. The worst things we can say about the subcompact hatchback is that its back seat is pitifully small and folding the rear seats can be a frustrating process. A new car with a starting price below $15,000 might sound like paying to drive a penalty box, but the 2022 Chevy Spark puts that fear to bed.
