I'm actually not aware of any active members here driving the Spark. We only get the 1.2L engine here in Canada/U.S., and I have to admit I was disappointed by the car's fuel economy ratings when it came out. One of its problems is it's a relatively heavy car for its size.

Of course, it's relatively easy to beat the EPA fuel economy ratings if you choose the manual transmission and drive it sensibly.

For 2014, GM in North America replaced the 4-speed automatic option in with a Jatco CVT (same as used in the Mitsu Mirage and a bunch of other small cars).

EDIT: there are a number of dedicated Spark forums out there.
