Can a Chevy spark be flat towed?

Apologies for what has already been posted. I've seen conflicting messages about if a Chevy spark can be flat towed. Is there anyone out there that is actually doing this? I think the answer is yes as long as it's a manual NOT automatic. I don't want to have to use a dolly.

Thanks in advance

Only use that towing guide as an initial reference. for whatever you decide on [COLOR=]CONFIRM it with the owner's manual.

Thank you all for the responses! Gtn Katz thanks for the link. I'm so glad I started searching before I just ran out and bought something based on weight, starting to think a Honda Fit is a better option.

read the owner's manual under either towing behind a motorhome or recreational towing. that is the only valid source.

To make it a little easier, go HERE to the How To Tow Like A Pro page and enter your name & email address.
Be sure to uncheck the Sign Me Up checkbox.
Once that's done, the input area is replaced with a hyperlink like this: Dinghy Guide Download Page that will put you where you need to be.
You can then view or download the PDF 2016 Guide To Dinghy Towing.

Oops ... Seems that they haven't put the 2016 out there yet.

So ... for the OP ... here's what's in the 2016 Guide for the Chevy Spark:

  • Base Curb Weight: 2,246
    Speed/Distance Limits: 70 MPH / None
    Towable w/ Manual Trans: YES
    Towable w/ Auto Trans: NO
    Mileage City/HWY: 30/41
    Special Procedures: NONE

I provided incorrect info. There is no longer any information about towing on the GS.com site. However with their magazine 'Motorhome' we received a separate booklet on the info. But I see others have provided an actual link..
