I'm on a military base right now, and car pool to work regularly with a guy rocking a Spark. Seems like a pretty decent car, but the automatic tranny (I'm assuming it is a CVT that simulates shifting) seems quirky and buzzy to me. I've only ventured in Wichita Falls with him one time, but acceleration didn't seem too horrible. Passenger seat is comfy, but put a couple people in the back seat and I wouldn't want to travel coast to coast in it.
The guy is very frugal, and he seems to be very economy minded behind the wheel. Told me he gets 45-50mpg depending on what the highway speed is. Overall it seems to be a pretty decent car, but there are probably better options out there considering cost of ownership...not sure what the longevity behind these cars are.
