Expert Reply:
I spoke with my contact at Roadmaster and the base plates # 523174-1 will fit your 2014 Chevy Spark 1LS with manual transmission. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables use # RM-643. The coiled design keeps the cables off the ground.
For lighting if you will not be towing very often I recommend a magnetic kit # RM-2120. With this kit you will not have to cut into the vehicle wiring for installation. If you plan on towing the Spark often then I recommend a more permanent solution, diode kit # 154-792-118158.
Most states now require supplemental braking on the vehicle being flat towed. I recommend the Roadmaster InvisiBrake, # RM-8700, because with it after the initial installation and set up you will not have to mess with it again unless you want to adjust the braking pressure.
Please consult your Spark owners manual for specific information on flat towing the vehicle. I have also included a couple of helpful links on flat towing for you to view.
