Scion iQ Hatchback vs 2013 Chevrolet Spark Sumner Cars

Here at Art Gamblin Motors, your Sumner 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. This fact is obvious when comparing the Chevy Spark to the Scion iQ Hatchback:

The Scion iQ is a 4-passenger, 2-door hatchback. Available in one trim level only, the well-equipped Scion is marketed as a “premium micro-subcompact.” All Scion iQs are equipped with a 1.3L DOHC 4-cylinder engine and a continuously variable automatic transmission.

Chevrolet Spark advantages vs. Scion iQ Hatchback

• 5-door body style. All Chevrolet Sparks are 4-door hatchbacks. The Scion iQ is only available as a 2-door hatchback. A 4-door hatchback body style is not offered. 

• Choice of transmissions. Spark is available with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The Scion iQ has one transmission available—a continuously variable automatic transmission that has received mixed reviews by the motoring press. 

• Standard alloy wheels on all models. All Spark models have standard alloy wheels regardless of trim level. The Scion iQ features standard steel wheels with wheel covers. Aluminum wheels are available as an accessory on Scion iQ for an additional $749.

• Superior value. Not only is Chevrolet Spark 1LT priced $1500 less than Scion iQ Pop ($14,495 vs. $15,995), it’s also better equipped.

• Larger vehicle. Spark’s interior has 12.5 cu. ft. more of passenger volume than Scion iQ. In this class of vehicle, passenger volume is an important factor in determining comfort.

• Cargo versatility. Spark’s cargo area is over three times larger than the Scion iQ cargo area (11.4 cu. ft. vs. 3.5 cu. ft.). Even with the rear seats folded, Spark’s interior seems relatively cavernous compared to the Scion iQ with over 14 cu. ft. more of cargo area (31.2 cu. ft. vs. 16.7 cu. ft).

• More front leg room. Spark has 1.1″ more front leg room. 

• Greater rear-seat comfort. The Scion iQ rear seating space pales in comparison to the Spark’s roomier rear seating positions. The Spark has 13.7″ more of rear seat hip room and a whopping 6.6″ more of rear leg room.

• 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 Scion iQ. 

• MyLink Radio. Scion iQ has nothing comparable to Spark’s MyLink Radio with its embedded apps. In fact, the Scion’s audio systems do not include a touch-screen. 

• Standard rear spoiler. All Chevrolet Sparks include a standard rear spoiler. A rear spoiler is available as an accessory on Scion iQ for an additional $285. 

• More speakers. Chevrolet Spark 1LT includes six audio speakers. The Scion iQ has four standard speakers. To get six speakers on Scion iQ, you must order the optional Rear Speaker Package which adds two speakers for an additional $100.

• Superior warranty peace of mind. The Scion 5-year/60,000-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 or 100,000 miles. Scion iQ buyers receive only two years/24,000-miles of roadside assistance.

• Oil Life Monitor. This feature is not offered on Scion iQ.

2012 Chevrolet Sonic Overview Puget Sound Cars

  Art Gamblin Motors is very excited to present the new Chevrolet Sonic. The Sonic is an innovative small car that has literally redefined its class. Yes, the Sonic offers top fuel efficiency at 40 highway miles per gallon and excellent handling and suspension. But the Sonic does a lot more than simply meet or exceed small car standards—the Sonic redefines them. The Interior of the sonic offers over 90 cubic feet of space. The sedan offers 14 cubic feet of trunk space and the hatchback offers over 19 cubic feet of trunk space—more than the Corolla or Civic, both of which are in a larger car class. The standard ECOTEC 1.8L engine and the optional 1.4L ECOTEC turbo charged engine in the Sonic makes the vehicle powerful, responsive and efficient, both in terms of fuel economy and very low maintenance.
   The suspension of the Sonic was expertly designed and tuned by top engineers that worked on the world-class Corvette and Cadillac CTS-V. Professional drivers ran the Sonic through intense batteries of extreme road conditions and the Sonic passed these tests with excellent handling and quiet comfortable ride. The Body-Frame Integral design of the Sonic makes its rigidity and stiffness comparable to that found in high-end luxury cars. This and too many other features too numerous to list contribute to the Sonic’s rally car like handling and the Sonic’s incredible durability, quality and extreme value.
The Chevrolet Sonic has achieved a Top Safety Pick rating by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, performing at the highest standards in all crash test categories. The Sonic is equipped with 10 airbags, more than any other car in its segment and more than some vehicles in a larger class. The myriad of incredible safety features like brake assisting and the StabiliTrack Stability Control System give the Sonic an edge in safety unparalleled by other vehicles in and out of its class. This fact is further solidified by the high quality materials used to construct the Sonic. The Sonic is made of 60% high grade steel. The roof of the Sonic is capable of holding over 4 times its own weight.
  All of the genuine quality and innovation in the Sonic is displayed perfectly through its exterior and interior style, inspired in part by the best aspects of motorcycle design. The Sonic sedan and hatchback both exude modern sophistication and youthful sportiness and adventure in an aerodynamic design that is both attractive and functional. We invite you to come test drive a new Sonic here with us at Art Gamblin Motors in Enumclaw Washington. We promise that you will enjoy our welcoming pressure-free environment, with plenty of expert sales associates available to handle all of your needs.

2012 Porsche vs 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Kent Car Dealer

2012 Chevrolet Corvette vs Porsche  Safety: The Corvette comes with standard GPS enabled OnStar service, which offers everything from turn-by-turn directions to automatic crash response that sends out emergency personal to your exact GPS coordinates. The Porsche has no GPS enabled system comparable to OnStar.    Warranty: Chevrolet’s powertrain warranty covers the Corvette 1 year and 50,000 miles longer than Porsche covers its 911. There are over 21 times as many Chevrolet dealers as there are Porsche dealers. This means it is drastically easier to get your Chevrolet Corvette serviced on its warranty than it is to get your Porsche 911 serviced on its already inferior warranty. Reliability: The Corvette has a standard “limp home system” which keeps the engine running on half its cylinders if engine coolant is lost. This prevents a Corvette driver from being stranded. The Porsche offers nothing comparable to this—so your vehicle could be severely damaged if you lose fluid engine fluid and you will also be stranded. The Corvette even offers “run flat” wheels that will run for 100 miles at speeds of 55mph even with reduced tire pressure, so a flat will also not leave you stranded. Engine, Power and Handling: The Corvette, simply put, offers greater horsepower and torque than the Porsche. The Corvette also offers significantly higher torque at lower rpm than the Porsche. The Corvette also has 1.1 gallons more fuel capacity than the 911, giving the Corvette a greater fuel range. The Corvette offers a shift indicator to help the driver easily achieve the maximum efficiency and performance from their car. The Porsche doesn’t offer this feature. The Corvette has larger standard tires and a greater wheel base. This along with suspension features like the Corvettes Magnetic Selective Ride Control and Active Handling standard grant the Corvette more precise handling than the Porsche.   Awards: The Corvette was recommended by the Consumer Report and received an award from Kiplinger. Porsche was recognized by neither of these respected publications. At Art Gamblin Motors, we know the Chevrolet Corvette is undeniably superior to the Porsche. So we invite you to come test drive a new Corvette with us here in Enumclaw Washington. You will surely appreciate our welcoming pressure-free environment staffed by friendly expert sales associates. Most importantly though, we have been family owned and operated for over 40 years and have always treated our customers as family. Come and see why Art Gamblin Motors is a superior place to buy a vehicle, and you will understand why we are the top online rated Chevrolet dealer in the state!
