Great car at a bargain price

My Sonic LS hatchback is the most basic of the Sonic line up. Even though I have wind up windows - it does have blue tooth connection and air which is standard. The only option is automatic trans. The car handles well and is fun to drive. It has a lot of room for a small and the seats are comfortable - even on long trips. The ride is surprisingly quiet for a small car. I bought this car used with only 4,000 miles and it was a bargain. On the price factor the negative is that it has poor resale value. I love this car!!

Great little car

My 2014 hatchback Sonic LTZ constantly impresses me with its many user-friendly storage options, great handling, and overall comfort. The only prpblem, although for me it is a major flaw, is that it os not as fuel-efficient as advertised. I drive mostly highways (about 45mi highway, 5mi city daily) and my average fuel efficiency is only 29-31 mpg when it should be in the high 30s at least. Even strictly highway, the car doesn't come close to the 40mpg that it was suppose to get; the best I've ever recorded was 36mpg. While this is not bad, I mostly bought a small car for its fuel economy and am very disappointed in this area. On the plus side, the soundsystem is spectacular.

Safe car!

We got into an accident with a deer and the car was basically fine. When we hit it the car felt like it just stopped hard and honestly save our lives. Very safe car! Nice and smooth. Would recommend this car!!

My take so far...

I did a LOT of homework as far as features and specs went before purchasing this vehicle. I have the 14 LT Hatch auto. I absolutely love the styling inside and out. When I go to look to see if mine has this or that, it does. I really appreciate the arm rest (even the door rest is comfortable) and the extra slots to store things. It sticks beautifully to the road. Sturdy feeling steering. Quite enough cabin room too. Cons: Don't care for the low lip in front when parking up to curbs but I can see the visual appeal, EXTREME dash glare. Have to get a dash cover. I gave an average for reliability because of this model's reputation for a shorter life than others in it's class but we will see. Got mine certified pre-owned with a GAP plan. Very happy so far. Fingers crossed, will update in the future..

New Car Owner

Offleaseonly provided me with outstanding service and were so nice. I was able to confidently pick out a car that I absolutely love! The employees are all so nice! My sales rep Tarique Brown was awesome. He was very helpful and determined to get me the perfect car for me. My finance manager Mike Hays was great to. He was very nice and quick to getting all the paperwork finished and the finances handled. The manager of the dealership Mike Houser was nice. He went around greeting every customer and asking them how their days were and wishing them luck on finding a car. I would highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking into buying a used car, which is definitely the way to go now a days!

Fun Car

We test drove the Spark and other similar models, but loved the Sonic. It is our commuter car to work, but fits us and our two kids just fine.

Omg, can't believe this car

I just picked up my 2014 LTZ AT. Was going to buy a Corolla but my insurance agent said the rates are $200 less every 6 months once my son starts driving. Amazing car so,far. The corolla radio doesn't have xm unless you get the top model. The sound is not nearly as good as the LTZ radio. The car is quiet, has better pick up, good milage so far and is just so much fun around turns and hills. The blind spot mirror helps me too. Corollas and Cruzes are everywhere here but almost no Sonics. Such a cool different look. It's not too small.
