It's kimda meh to say the spark is a $13K car. I got the base model and paid 15. Minus the 400 for the Brimstone paint 🙂
If you're not hurting I'd spring for the paint. It's a subdued limey yellow in the daytime, and like a sherbet lemon lime at night under bright lights. Very cute.
Can anybody tell me how to turn OFF radio while Google Maps are running?! I can only MUTE radio and when Google Maps tell me directions… radio will turn ON!!! ALWAYS!
Bye bye OnStar
Here is what I am wondering: how hard is it to get a car mount, stick your phone/tablet onto the dash board, and here we could all have our own Android auto on any car (which has far superior specs than that extremely laggy Android Auto), instead of spending big bucks going for those few selected vehicles designed for a certain niche? The whole Android Auto concept seems kinda redundant to me when there already exist plenty of options to mount your mobile devices onto the dash board.
Android won't help that car's looks.
Does look very laggy and no mention of working over Bluetooth. It's 2015, my SGS6 connects to my BMW over Bluetooth and does calls/audio/messaging on iDrive – can't be far away from adding maps too?
the front end looks like 2012 hyundai i10
So uhm… No cable?
"but i personally drove a 16 corvette sitting out in the parking lot, convertable, pretty happy about that one right now" LMAO XD
id take the cute green car tho C:
i wonder how good it gets on gas tho…
laggy as balls… why couldn't they just add a Nexus 7 an ms adapt it to the car… that's it you're done.
Does it use the GPS on your phone?
I wish BMW and Mercedes offer android auto instead of apple
Can't wait for this to become a mainstay. Same can be said for Car Play
