Verdict for the version it uses

  • Auto Express (2013) said the Spark's mechanical problems were few and criticised only the noise and sluggishness of the engines; on fiches-auto, among the 54 testimonies for the 1.0 and 1.2, only isolated engine faults appear (a cylinder head gasket, a water pump, a sensor and an irregular idle), with no pattern.[1][2]
