Here at Art Gamblin Motors, your  Enumclaw car dealer, we are very excited about Chevrolet’s new mini car: The all-new 2013 Spark! The Spark dominates the mini car segment with more available features, outstanding value and solid performance. The Spark’s superiority is apparent when compared to the Smart Fortwo Passion Coupe:

The Smart Fortwo is a 2-person vehicle available in three trim levels: Pure, Passion Coupe and Passion Cabriolet (convertible). An electric version is also available. All non-convertible, fortwo models have two doors and a liftgate. A rear-mounted 3-cylinder engine limits the Fortwo’s cargo-carrying capacity. There is no transmission choice with the Fortwo. All models feature an (automated manual) automatic transmission. There is no manual transmission available.

Chevrolet Spark Advantages vs. Smart for two Passion:

• 5-door body style. All Chevrolet Sparks are 4-door hatchbacks. All Smart Fortwo models have 2-doors. A 4-door body style is not currently available with for two.

• Longer wheelbase. A longer wheelbase contributes to a smoother ride. The Spark’s wheelbase is 20” longer than the Smart Fortwo’s wheelbase.

• More horsepower and torque. Spark’s engine has 15 hp more and 14 lb.-ft. of torque more than Smart Fortwo’s 3-cylinder engine.

• Transmission choice. Spark buyers have a choice between a manual or automatic transmission. All Fortwo buyers must settle for the for two’s only transmission.

• Less expensive fuel requirement. The Chevrolet Spark runs on regular unleaded gasoline. The Smart fortwo’s recommended fuel is premium unleaded, which is currently about 6% more expensive.

• Larger vehicle. The Spark’s interior is nearly twice as big as the Smart fortwo’s interior (86.3 cu. ft. vs. 45.4 cu. ft.).

• Cargo volume. Spark’s cargo area is over 30% larger than the Smart fortwo’s cargo area. A larger cargo area contributes to a vehicle’s versatility.

• Front seat comfort. The Spark has greater front shoulder and hip room than fortwo.

• Comfortable driving position. The Spark has a standard tilt steering column. The Smart fortwo steering column is fixed in one position without any tilt mechanism.

• Standard OnStar. Spark’s standard OnStar telematics system provides a suite of services including Automatic Crash Response, Turn-by-Turn Navigation, Vehicle Diagnostics and much more. A telematics system is not available on Smart fortwo.

• MyLink Radio. The Smart fortwo has nothing comparable to Spark’s MyLink Radio with its embedded apps.

• Standard satellite radio. Satellite radio, with three months of service included, is standard on Spark. Satellite radio is not available on Smart fortwo.

• Bluetooth for phone and audio. Spark features Bluetooth for both phone and audio. Smart fortwo has available Bluetooth for Phone but does not offer Bluetooth for audio.

• Driver information. All Spark models include a standard Driver Information Center. This feature is not available with Smart fortwo Passion.

• Superior warranty peace of mind. The Smart fortwo 4-year/50,000-mile powertrain warranty can’t compete with the Spark’s 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

• Emergency roadside assistance. Spark owners receive the peace of mind of emergency roadside assistance for five years. Roadside assistance is not offered with Smart fortwo.

• Oil Life Monitor. This feature is not offered on Smart fortwo.
