"Bought the car primarily for work about a year ago. Was impressed with the room, Im 6" and had to put the seat forward a notch. Has a large trunk which is useful for sporting equipment on my weekends away. Selling point was the engine which is the same as the Cruz and has enough power for stop and go driving along with easily reaching highway speeds when necessary.My only complaints are the minor recalls which have happened but since it is new this is to be expected. I also would have liked cruise control as an option. I also was not happy with the tires it came with. Averaging 29mph in mixed driving and I also like the dash which gives very useful infomation and is easy to manipulate."

"30mph consistently, a little tight up front and very tight in back. But rides nicely and we like the look of it. reasonable price for a small car."

"I looked at many competitors in the same price range, none had all of the features of my LTZ-heated front seats, sunroof, etc. Fit and finish are surprisingly good. I use the car for my punishing NYC daily commute with stop/start traffic and terrible roads, and it performs wonderfully. Great for city parking as well. Comfortable for long driving as well, have about 11000 miles on it, still feels new. I usually get bored with my cars very quickly, but not so with the Sonic."

"Cute little car. Comfortable for two upfront with no one in the back. Leg room is non-existence in the back so if your carrying a full load, it?s going to be beyond cramped. My sonic LT manual six-speed creates a go-cart type feeling making it hard to watch your speed without keeping your eyes on the speedometer. Frankly, you?re going faster than you think, keep that in mind!"

"We looked at a couple of import type cars, 4 doors and turbos. Couldn't find the exact car we wanted in stock anywhere in the country, so started looking elsewhere. My wife looked at several cars on line and she decided she liked the Chevrolet Sonic LTZ. The next problem was she wanted a manual transmission and we wanted the turbo. so our dealer had to do a dealer search and found ours about 175 miles away and went and got it. The car has been surprisingly nice to drive in town and on a 250 mile one way trip. wWe've got about 2500 miles on the Sonic now and average about 33-34 miles per gallon, in town or on the interstate. The 1.4 turbo seems a little short of power on steep hills. Also with the 6 speed manual transmission, the 6th gear is mostly for interstate driving, not around town. we live in Tennessee, so lots of hills. Overall, great little car and we are both in our 60's , and trade every 11/2 -2 years and have had lots of new cars over the years, this car is great."

"Just bought the Sonic with the 1.4l turbo engine. What a fun car to drive. The turbo more than makes up for the small displacement engine. It is quick off the line, even with the little bit of turbo lag and the steering is quick and precise. The six-speed manual transmission is smooth and forgiving and the clutch throw is a comfortable distance. The ride is surprisingly smooth even though the car handles like it has a sport suspension. My biggist problem is keeping it down to the legal speed limit. This little car really wants to fly."

"Fun car to drive and easy to operate much better with a 5 speed manual transmission. Power when you need it. A/C is awesome cold. Salesperson was very helpful and enjoyable to work with and made the purchase easy."
