    He Went and it was Worth it. For him, not us.

    I just reread the email. Apparently, Wentworth still owns a Chevy dealership in Wilsonville. Maybe I'll turn it in there. Hafta think about it.

    He Went and it was Worth it. For him, not us.

    Some of us got a sweet deal on our 2016's as Wentworth was practically giving them away near the end. I was planning on giving it back to them and perhaps getting a Volt to buy me some more time until better cars and deals come out, but alas, it wasn't to be. Just got an email that Wentworth has...

    What is being offered at end of lease?

    Any updates? A quick perusal of Autotrader lists 35 Sparks within 500m of my zip code and most dealers aren't even on there. Wentworth doesn't list them on their site. I should give them a visit in about 6 months, as I have 10 months left on my lease. Be good to see a lot full of them. I know...

    What is being offered at end of lease?

    Lease company only cares that you make your payments. They got the rebate and your payments. The dealer you turn it into will take it in the shorts. The time for negotiation is at turn-in. Nobody cares until then.

    Rotating rear tires to front temporarily-any real issue?

    Thanks!! I thought that 10mm difference in tire size was no big deal (and it probably isn't), but the different offsets are such that if you do this, the car won't even move!!!! Guess I'll just have to see how it goes.....

    Rotating rear tires to front temporarily-any real issue?

    Apparently, I drive like a Grandpa and am the only one able to make the oe tires last. I'm at 15k on the odo with my 2016 and when I had her in for the software updates, my fronts were measured at 7mm depth, and the backs at 10mm. I'm trying to not have to buy tires before I turn her in at the...

    No deal

    Chevy was giving these cars away in +or- Jan '16, so in +or- Jan '19 most dealerships will be way overstocked with lease returns and more than likely happy to deal. I was in my dealership for the software recall a few weeks ago and sat in a new Bolt. Talked to a fairly informed salesperson and...

    Recall notice concerning range estimation

    Did the update reset the trip meter? I haven't reset mine since I got the car so I can see the overall efficiency. So far around 25K miles shows 5.4 mi/kWh. I'd hate to lose it by doing the software upgrade. SparkEVblogspot The OnStar app shows your lifetime efficiency also. This wouldn't be...

    Recall notice concerning range estimation

    Just had it done. Remember your software's wiped clean when you get it back. My screen was showing 51.1 mi/kWh for about 5 miles when I left the dealer. Reset it after getting groceries and it seems like a more normal 5.0 or so now. Freaked out for a bit and thought they imported the...

    2016 Spark EV: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?

    Sorry to reply to a month old thread, but I don't get why it would take a new head unit to get Android Auto. Why would it not just be a simple firmware update????? The car already has a touchscreen.....

    Pay by The Mile Road Use Charge

    Then you are going to want to post in some different forum, but I'd have no idea which one. A quick online search yielded no reviews at all, only news articles. Since there are less than 1,000 people enrolled, and quite a few are ODOT employees, and likely 0 are EV owners, you are going to...

    Cost to replace front windshield

    Safelite is usually pretty cheap and comes to you by appointment. Last time I needed one they did it at my work.

    PSA: EV batteries are A LOT bigger than smartphone batteries

    The first thing the Spark asks when your range gets low is if you want to turn off the radio. Cracks me up!

    Pay by The Mile Road Use Charge

    The Oregon plan, which they call OrEgo, has been a dismal failure. It's not hard to see why when you look at the design. Instead of thinking through a fair program, like CA, apparently, Oregon charges everyone the same amount, 1.5 cents a mile. They reduce your gas tax, but it is based on 20...

    Official All Weather Cargo Mat

    I just wedged the ice one in there. Unless you're planning on filling it with water, it looks ok.

    Please share your experiences with Portland area dealerships

    Wentworth is advertising a $109 lease on the 1lt if you can prove ownership of a different manufacturers newish vehicle. Just have to let them have a picture of your registration card. I walked out with a zero down lease on a 2lt with dcqc with 10k miles for $169 a month with their...
