Sonics and Sparks are my favorite GM products. Trax are 2nd place, 4x4 on such a light car is kinda moot. The Spark 1.2 with a manual is super rare, Any Spark or Sonic with the traditional auto trans is a good full-time ride. CVT is just too slow to accelerate. If in the city, good stuff, because you have no bucking of gears, more like a golf cart.
