The CHEVROLET SPARK (2010-12) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.0 68 EU5 LS is a small, five-door city car aimed at affordable, easy everyday motoring. Its compact size suits crowded streets and tight parking, while the rear doors make it more practical than two-door runabouts. In the UK, it sits among budget-minded hatchbacks. mycarcheck.com recorded 773 checks across 487 distinct VINs, a sample of cars shoppers have researched. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,200 and average recorded mileage of 69,000 miles; annual mileage is 4,000. The cars averaged about three previous keepers, so checking each vehicle’s history and condition remains important. The 1.0-litre Spark is best suited to first-time drivers, commuters and households wanting town transport, rather than long journeys or generous family space. Its styling, five-door access and footprint help it stand out against rivals such as the Hyundai i10 and Kia Picanto, while low running costs are an appeal.
