European Chevrolet test drives coming up
Last Updated:
I will be in Europe for a few days, and will be test driving 2 new Chevrolets.
First the all new Spark with a 1.0 Liter engine.
The US might be getting a larger 1.2 Liter, but it will still be interesting to see how this little car compare to others. Mainly the Versa in the US.
I will also be driving a European version of the Cruze. My car will have a 1.7 Liter Diesel not offered in the US.
It’ll also be very interesting to finally drive the Cruze, even with a “no-for-the-US” engine.
You can send me any questions you might have about these cars.
It's so funny that you compare the Spark with the Versa. Isn't the Versa at least in size like a VW Golf or Ford Focus? Although it may be cheaper as a Golf it is at least a car of this category. The Spark is a supermini, even much smaller than the Aveo which is also smaller than the Versa. But maybe it's all about the price in America.
Typical questions from me:
1) What's the real world fuel economy for both (wish North America would embrace diesles more)
2) Fit & Finish
Also – when are we going to see the Camaro review?! Waiting anxiously!!
Just finished my 2 weeks of driving Camaros.
I will post reviews as soon as I can write them.
Planning a little video as well.
Spark is in the A-segment.
Versa is in the B-segment (with Aveo, Fit, Fiesta, and Yaris).
Any info about the new Aveo?
Wow. The wheels on the Spark look like they were pulled off of a small lawnmower. The Cruze is nice, but it's awfully conventional and bland. I haven't seen a color that works well with it.
Please get input into whether the Spark will be offered in the U.S.!
What's the rear head and legroom like for both?
Pity the Cruze has just been recalled for fuel leak problems.
