Great Value Car

Great car, fun with the turbo 6 speed. Consistently gets 40 mpg, had 2 minor trips to the dealer outside of routine maintenance (1 of which was a recall) in the 67k miles I've had the car.

I bought it at Hawthorne Motors express

I enjoy driving this vehicle thanks to Hawthorne Motors express in Lawndale,CA for a great deal on the car and reasonable payments even though I had bad credit they managed to help me get the car I want.

I love this car!

This car is the right size for me, looks small but has plenty of room. Drives really smooth and fast when needed it has Turbo. Has good space in for the back passengers.

Good on gas

I enjoy riding this car. It is easy to park, and it does not take a lot of room in the garage. It is great for two people but is to small for a family. It does great on gas 38 miles to a gallon. Great for commuting....

Happy With My Purchase

I was searching for a compact hatch batch that had great mpg and was reliable. The Chevrolet Sonic fit my needs execeptionally. I bought the LTZ turbo version, automatic, and it has not disappointed me yet.

I miss my midnight

I really love the fuel efficiency of this vehicle. $50 took me to ohio from north carolina. Love the fact it was a turbo, Only think was too small for growing family and business and also hard on the shoulders and knee, this was a 6 speed with turbo. All in all , a great little sports car. Make for a great first card for a high school student (male)

The best car I have ever owned.

I have the turbo edition and it gives me the pick up and go you usually don't get in sedans. I love that the. Car is small but very roomy. I have a choclate brown with a shine which is a unique color. I feel that it is fancier then other brands. I bought it used and i still got the free onstar and sirius xm. The car is very computer savy.

Very Good Value

My chevy sonic has certainly been an excellent, minimal cost, commuting machine. Great fuel mileage on the highway or city! I initially switched from volkswagen, back to chevy, because of my need for long term reliability. The chevy was exactly what I was looking for, at a great price! My only negative comment about the vehicle is that they do not retain their value over time, so when choosing to purchase, it would be best to own for the entire life of the vehicle.
