I have owned several VW beetles and a Kharman Ghia, and the Spark is just as fun to drive. Think of an old schhol VW Beetle with 30-70hp @1835lbs. The spark is 98hp @2300lbs. (I also drive a 600hp '83 Monte Carlo)
The Spark seats could be a little more comfortable, my average drive is 200+kms, but they are fine. I added a full console from Alibaba for about $80 that matches the interior perfectly.
I have the back seats folded flat most of the time, to carry stuff for my job.
I have driven in snow, on ice and at temps below -40, no issues. Windows defrost fine, car heater works perfectly.
I do not have a command start in this car, first one in decades, as the dealer claimed they don't install them, and I haven't bothered since.
Installed a trailer hitch, but have not towed anything yet. I do have a bicycle carrier that fits it.
