In case of car trouble you can take this out of your glove box wind it up, get inside, and get where you need to go.

Just don't hit a pothole, a large flying bug or or anything with a mass of more than 50lbs and you'll presumably make it to your destination alive.

i wonder what size motor it has in it, and the mpg.

It's another Daewoo, like the Aveo/Optra/Epica

Spark is a Matiz
Aveo is a Lanos
Optra is a Nubira (same as Suzuki Forenza)
Epica is a Leganza (same as Suzuki Verona)

Rebadged Korean crap, really, though courier friends of mine seem to like their Aveos.

You won't see the Spark in the US, it's too small to pass safety and bumper testing.

What a stupid looking rig! LOL.

I looked on SI today, the engies offered in it are a 0.8L I3 (50 some horses) or a 1.0L I4 (60 some horses). Hang on to your hats folks!

You can't be freakin serious!!! You could put that thing under the hood of my Monte Carlo!!

Dont need to parellel park with that, just pick it up and take it with you

jveik · 03-06-2006, 09:44 AM

lol 60 horses eh? thats about what my 88 honda accord makes and i know for a fact how bad of power that is lol... maybe it will make 45 city mpg like the ford festiva could with its 3-banger lol...

Maybe you're supposed to buy a pair of them and use them as roller skates?
Wow, that thing it ugly... My snowmobile has more horse power and a larger engine than that thing does... probably wieghs more too

It kind of reminds me of the VW Beetle in the front... maybe this is the answer to bringing back the VW Hippie Vans ?

i like the way it looks....i wonder how small it is compared to something becaue the picture dosnt reallllly show the size of the thing....if i put an peanut next 2 it do you think it would b the size of the tire? lol

3.1L 200+hp · 03-15-2006, 02:01 PM

MunG35 · 03-15-2006, 02:55 PM

brandon200317 · 03-16-2006, 10:29 AM

can't believe i acually looked these up... their all in rpm and km... but their stats. http://www.reeds.co.za/docs/SPARK_SEP_2005.pdf

My riding lawnmower has more HP than this thing, I bet the mower is even faster than this

At least my lawnmower can actually do something, like cut the grass

If you put more than 2 average sized americans in this car it would probably stall, I can imagine seeing one of these cars trying to climb a hill then flying right back down
