Shooting Down Some of the Common Myths about Minicars and Subcompacts

For years now, people have believed that, with a subcompact automobile, you get substandard features. While that may have been so way back when, it is definitely not the case today. At Cox Chevrolet in Bradenton FL, we’ve seen how Chevy has upped the ante and enhanced the overall value of the subcompact. These are little cars that pack a big punch.

Efficient, Comfortable, and Fun to Drive

2013 Chevy Spark

The Chevrolet Spark is a minicar that is debunking all of the myths that used to surround the subcompact class. For example, it is commonly believed that minicars are short on space and uncomfortable. On the contrary, the Spark provides more passenger and cargo space than any other vehicle in its class, including the Fiat 500.

Another popular misconception is that subcompacts are inherently less safe than larger cars. Not so. The new Chevy Spark is designed with a high-strength steel frame and is equipped with 10 airbags. The standard number of airbags in most full-size vehicles produced today is between 6 and 8.

People also don’t expect to get much in the way of power from a minicar, but this Chevy subcompact is absolutely one of the most fun-to-drive vehicles you’ll find. With surprisingly zippy power and outstanding handling capabilities, this is a car that was made for adeptly navigating the urban landscape.

It is also loaded with convenience and high-tech features such as MyLink system, which includes Bluetooth® integration, and Pandora internet radio. This is a small car with everything you’ve come to expect from a full-size sedan and more.
