Scion iQ Hatchback vs 2013 Chevrolet Spark Sumner Cars

Posted on by
Reply

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.

We invite you to come test drive a new 2013 Chevrolet Spark here with us at Art Gamblin Motors in Enumclaw Washington; and experience something unexpected.

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!

The new Chevrolet Sonic is a sleek car that simultaneously exudes youthful energy and mature sophistication. The sonic perfectly utilizes its curving body, giving a sense of perpetual motion, even while parked. This hints at the powerful capabilities under the Sonic’s appealing curves. At the same time the Sonic communicates fast motion with its sweeping angles; it also demonstrates its practical and efficient sophistication with its tight, drawn in design. Everything from the Sonic’s flush handles to its flawlessly aligned wheels show thoughtful, refined excellence in design.

The Sonic provides two options between a 4-door sedan or 5-door hatchback. The sedan imparts distinguished excellence; while the hatchback embodies a swift, adventurous nature. The sedan and hatchback emphasis different traits of a union between superior class and active energy that is the core of the Sonic; allowing a choice more specifically tailored to you.
Yes, the Sonic is indeed an impressive sight to behold visually. But no line or aesthetic flare of the vehicle is solely in the name of beauty—although the Sonic certainly accomplishes that goal. The swept back design of the Sonic illustrates motion, but also allows for superior visibility while driving. The taunt athletic lines of the Sonic do show off its sporty capabilities, but also make the car aerodynamic. The aerodynamic style of the Sonic makes it more fuel efficient, greatly reduces noise in the cab, even at cruising speeds and limits the potential of wind buffeting; providing a smooth, comfortable riding experience. The level care in the Sonics style can be seen down to the smallest details, right down to the spiraled antenna placed down the center of the car, reducing wind resistance and contributing to the fast capable feel of the car. All of these and so many other innovative details give the Sonic its deserved feeling of premium quality in appearance and performance.

So come visit us here at Art Gamblin Motors, your Puyallup and Puget Sound Chevrolet Dealer. We have been family owned and operated for over 43 years—so you can be sure you will get the best service possible. Come find out why we are the top online rated Washingotn Chev rolet Dealer!

2012 Chevrolet Impala vs Dodge Charger  At your Seattle Chevrolet Dealer we recognize that the Chevy Impala is a segmentdefining vehicle that is unsurpassed in performance, quality andefficiency within its segment. The Dodge Charger just can’t compete withthe Impala on any level. The Impala has greater power, performance,handling, safety and functionality. Below is a short sampling of some ofthe ways in which the Chevrolet Impala outperforms the Dodge Charger:
 Warranty: Chevrolet’s powertrain warranty comes with free roadside assistance a feature not available with the Charger’s warranty. The Impala’s corrosion warranty is also 1 year longer than the Charger’s. Furthermore, there are over 40% more Chevrolet dealers than Dodge dealers, which means that it’s much easier to get your Impala serviced under warranty than it is to get a Charger serviced.


2012 Chevrolet Impala

Safety:For increased safety, the front shoulder belts of the Chevrolet Impala are height-adjustable, and the rear seats have child car seat anchors. The Dodge Charger has only front height-adjustable seat belts and child safety anchors. The Impala’s standard pretensioning seatbelts sense rear collisions and tighten the front seatbelts accordingly to protect passengers from injuries including whiplash. The Charger doesn’t offer a whiplash protection system. The Chevrolet Impala also offers daytime running Lights to help keep it more visible to other cars. The Charger doesn’t have the same daytime running lights available. The Impala also has OnStar available, which uses GPS and cellular systems to remotely unlock your doors if you lock your keys in, track down your vehicle if it’s stolen and even send emergency personnel to the scene if there is a collision. The Dodge Charger doesn’t offer anything comparable to OnStar; which means help may not come for you nearly as fast as it would in a Chevy Impala.

Engine: The Impala’s 3.6L DOHC V6 produces 8 more horsepower than the Charger’s standard engine. At the same time, the Impala’s engine is also more efficient than the Charger’ engine.
Interior: The Impala offers optional seating for up to six passengers while the Charger can only carry a maximum of five passengers. The Impala also has more passenger volume than the Charger allowing for a more comfortable ride for everyone in the car. The Impala also offers a much more trunk space than the Charger with more than 3 cubic feet of extra storage capacity.

The Chevrolet Impala outsold the Dodge Charger by nearly three to one last year and it did so for good reason.
