Which Spark trim does Edmunds recommend?

You're likely looking at the Spark because it can save you a lot of money. As such, we say get the 1LT. It's one step up from the base level and comes with some features — such as aluminum wheels, power locks and windows, and a six-speaker stereo system — to make you feel comfortable about your decision.
