2012 Chevrolet Sonic consumer reviews

This car met all of my needs, great gas mileage, good power, and more than enough room for myself and my family. I would keep it, but the Chevy Camaro is calling my name!

This car has met all my needs. A great value in price and dependable. Bucket seats and arm rest compliments the increditable space you have.in the interior.

Great commuter or student car! Great on gas, reliable, spacious trunk and front seats. Affordable on maintenance. By far best bang for your buck without buying a Toyota Prius or Hybrid Civic, or Corolla.

It's a good car... when everything works, which is not often at all. I bought this car used 2 years ago from a dealership and within 3 days it was back getting repaired. Since then it's been a constant circle of something breaks, then I fix it, then something else breaks. It's a frustrating cycle, that continued today with the radiator fan going out. My recommendation is that NOBODY buy this car. It is absolute GARBAGE.

This car is the best value you could purchase. Spacious and as met all my needs. Downsizing autos is the only reason for selling. Can stream Sirius XM, OnStar Phone and outlet for charging. Comfortable delux cloth seats. Exterior styling and color is still in with todays market of vehicles. Loved my manual no maintenance windows. This car is excellent in value and miles for a first time buyer.

Over 177,00 miles so far, does not burn any oil, plenty of power for the PA hills, gets 38 to 40 MPG, minimal repairs, got 110,000 miles out of a set of tires, 1.8 L, 5 speed manual transmission

I had found many cars looking here, its just sadly the one I chose, and more specifically the dealership Planet Auto was a dishonest place. Iv spent 4.5 grand in repairs.

Plenty of room inside for a small car seats folded down very large trunk got a lot of compliments on this car everyone loved it

I bought this car last year from the original, single owner of the car. It is an LTZ hatchback with leather and heated seats, the 1.4l turbo, and a 6-speed manual. The first owner had not a single issue with the car. I have upgraded the intake manifold for preventative maintenance. Other than that, I have done absolutely nothing to the car other than oil changes, filters, tires, and brakes.I have yet to Average under 40 mpg Combined on a tank of fuel. I get above 450 miles to a tank and if 100% highway driving on a road trip, I get 500 miles+ to an 11 gallon tank. The transmission is great. The car is quick, fun, and drives very nicely. Car includes a hill holder function in the 6-speeds, which keeps your position on an incline when putting the car in gear- very useful. Also, comes with traction control that can be turned on or off. No Sonic comes with a coolant temp. gauge which I do not like, but it does have a light that comes on if the engine gets hot, which is sufficient. The rest of the gauge cluster is great- simple and cool looking. The audio and tech in the car is great for a 2012. I would recommend this car to anyone and have a hard time believing that a Honda Fit is a better car like most reviews would state. It also looks much better than the Fit and Hyundai Accent and etc. These cars used are less expensive than most other used subcompacts. The cost of ownership of this car is nearly impossible to beat. Saved a lot of money with this vehicle. I also tow a motorcycle with this car with no issues. Best car I've owned without a question.

I bought this car new, no problems other than small stuff, but at 60,000 miles the transmission went out, now waiting to hear from dealership if this car had turbine shaft issues covered by G.M. special circumstances .
