I LOVE my Chevy Sonic LTZ Turbo Hatchback!

I found myself looking for a new care after hitting a deer and totalling my 2009 Toyota Corolla. I already knew that I wanted a hatchback next time I purchased a car and after looking at the available options, I chose a Chevy Sonic LTZ 1.4 L Turbo Hatchback. It came loaded with heated, leather seats, a backup camera and a nice display screen with Sirius XM capability as well as blue tooth and USB port. The interior is a cool two tone with black as the main color and burnt orange as an accent. I like that the door panels are plastic as it's easier to keep clean. Very, Very sporty looking! There's a lot of room inside the cabin and even people in the backseat have a nice amount of leg room. The turbo is a MUST HAVE!!!!! I drove a 1.8 L in my search and found it sluggish and not at all as fun to drive. I also have "shiftable" mode on the transmission so if you want you can put it into manual mode and have a blast tooling around town.

LOVE MY CAR!!!!

Needed a new car but wanted to stay smaller. The trunk is huge!!! Great handling and drives amazing. Love that I can connect my phone via bluetooth or corded. The one downfall that I haven't figured out is where to set my phone while using GPS. Something I can totally handle.

Great for Teenagers

I wouldn't want to drive it as my vehicle because we are a family of 5 and it would be a tight fit for all of us. I bought the car for my daughter who is going off to college in the fall and I wanted her to have a more reliable vehicle to take. It is perfect for her, she can still drive herself and some friends comfortably and she completely loves it.

Best Car for Mileage.

If you are looking for a small sturdy car that is good on gas and drive smooth and get you in out of parking space really fast. Then I recommend the Chevrolet Sonic for you. If you at traveling more than 20 miles a day to work and you want save on gas this is the car for you. With the high technology of today cars .This car tells you exactly how many miles you can travel before you have to refill.When I filled this car up on gas I have exactly 350 miles to travel before I need to refill again. I get about 36-38 miles per gallon on highway. It is study and ride is good ride . I recommend this car for those first time buyers who are just starting out and want save money before they move up or while they are working and moving up. Or you can have this car when you buy another brand new car.

Comfortable

It's very comfortable to drive, responds well in traffic, and on the highway it has enough power to perform well.

Great car for the money

I bought this car because it was the best vehicle with the best features in this class of cars. The price was reasonable and the car performs very well. I only have two gripes; 1) the supposed navigation system that only works if you buy an app and pay for the service and 2) I wish that a car this size provided slightly better MPG.

Not a bad little car

This was my first new car. I've always had more expensive, full sized luxury cars, but I was getting tired of having older cars that were expensive to fix. The only way I could afford a Mercedes or Acura was if it was an older model, but I wanted something brand new and the Sonic was in my budget. It's taken a while for me to get used to, because it certainly is no Mercedes, but overall I like it. Nice exterior design. The interior is cheap flimsy plastic and I don't like the gage cluster, but having the touch screen infotainment system with back up camera is really nice. I would eventually like to get something a little nicer like a Malibu or Impala, but the Sonic will do for now.

excellent car choice!

I bought this car 3 months ago and so far it's been amazing and I have not had any problems. I purchased it with about 36,000 miles on it and it's been great so far. I love the digital display on the dashboard that tells you exactly where your gas is at and how many miles you can go until you need to fill up again. I also love how you can look at the digital display and you can see your exact speed. This car fits me perfectly and I love driving it. Everything about it is working out perfectly for me. I would recommend it to anyone searching for a good Chevrolet car. Two thumbs up!!!!!
