Probably having no idea what to look for or how to handle a Spark EV, your neighbourhood Chevy dealer.

You know, I absolutely love my 2015 LT2, warts and all. I will say though, The Chevy Mylink is VERY disappointing. Shame on Chevy for never updating it. I was looking forward to "thousands of apps" which never materialized. Just four (do they even work?)

I bought my car in New Jersey. I had a nearby Chevy dealer do a pre-purchase inspection and they were great, very thorough. I was extremely happy and impressed. I will say though, my local Chevy dealer on Long Island is completely clueless.

I know you already got the car (congrats!!), but I thought I'd point out, for the SparK EV, the trim levels LT1 and LT2 are the only ones available. There is no "base model", or, if you like, the LT1 is the base model. And yes, they're nearly identical except for a leather wrapped steering wheel and fake leather seats in the LT2. If the non-EV base trim is spartan, I'm guessing that Chevy decided not to offer it in the EV because of the much higher sticker price.

The torque for the 2014 is quite a bit higher than the later years, 400lb-lbs vs 327-ft-lbs, but, as already mentioned, the gear reduction is lower, so actual performance is nearly identical. I believe the 2014 is a tiny bit faster off the line, but the 2015/2016 is slightly faster 0 to 60.

You know, flaws and all, I adore my 2015 LT2. The Chevy Mylink, however. is VERY disappointing, I will admit. Chevy should be ashamed for never upgrading it. I was anticipating "thousands of apps," but they never showed up. Only four (do they even function?)

My automobile was purchased in New Jersey. My local Chevrolet store performed a full pre-purchase check at a fantastic price for me. I was ecstatic and amazed. I will admit, though, that my neighbourhood Chevrolet salesman on Long Island is absolutely illiterate.

The differences between the 14/15/16 model years of a vehicle can include changes to the design, interior features, technology, performance, and safety. For example, newer models may have updated infotainment systems, improved suspension, or additional driver assistance features. Other changes may include revised exterior styling, new paint options, and upgraded materials for the interior.
