Gives Herbie a Run for His Money

by OldCarLover from Goose Creek, SC on Sat Apr 30 2016

This car is a cute little addition to the Chevy line of products. I have a 2016 Sonic LT and its perfect! This car is spacious and taller than your average sedan. Its controls are perfect for any driver of any age. The design is aerodynamic and great for gas mileage. I'm a little disappointed that it isn't a V6, ha, but that's alright. For a 4 cylinder vehicle it carries its own weight well. I have not had any problems in owning this car, and that's saying something because AAA isn't consistent on my phone anymore. Extremely well made vehicle. Did I mention the tires are inexpensive as well! I am also a little sad it does not have navigation but its all good. Perfect starter car for young adults.

Good car for the price

by Carguy from Buffalo, NY on Wed Aug 09 2017

I bought this car for a daily commute to work because of the great gas millage. Over a year later and 20,000 miles I average about 32mpg. It is a comfortable ride and the car has many interior conveniences. Not a very good car in the snow but does better with snow tires on it and the front bumper sits very low and scrapes on many driveways. But overall a nice car for the price and a daily commute.

I hate this car...

by xxx sonic from Amarillo, tx on Tue Sep 24 2019

I hate this car. Mine currently has 68k. I have had to replace the coolant reservoir 3 times, my water pump just went out. Then the thermostat, which is also the thermostat housing! Really GM? Topped off my gas one time, had to replace the fuel regulator. Plastic body essentially falls apart. Noticed oil coming from my intercooler today which means the pcv system is likely failing or failed. That will require and entire new intake manifold, considering its built in, again, really GM? The value of this car continues to drop thousands every few months and it hasnt even made it to 100k! If i ever tried to trade it in, id be upside down! So dissatisfied. Many of these things should be recalls, but of course the 60k powertrain warranty protects them. xxxxxxxx knew they were building a cheap xxx

Great Value COMMUTER CAR

by Rdbauer99 from on Mon May 29 2017

This Chevy Sonic is an awesome vehicle. It is well worth the money, looks good, handles good, is good on gas, and is quite comfortable.

Sporty look..but doesnt drive like it so much.

by TturboS from on Mon Sep 18 2017

Overall the car is a great has saver and if you don't get the turbo you'll regret it a bit. You get a better package deal for the couple grand more. Features are better than most cars at price range. Its got wifi built in and on star.

Cutest car I've owned

by Jazz girl from Muskogee, OK on Wed Jun 21 2017

I love the color and like the idea that it is certified pre-owned. It seemed to be in good condition when I got it and I'm having no problems with it and I feel the dealership gave me a good deal.

Great car

by spawnedinjax from Fort Myers, FL on Fri Jun 22 2018

Just bought it....but so far, it meets my expectations. Drives really well, and the interior is also well suited to my needs. The drivability seems just as good also.

Very great vehicle

I had this car for a year and a half, never had any problems with it. Light enough to thrash around.

2016 Sonic LTZ WOW!

by jmacflorida from Oklahoma City, OK on Sat Mar 03 2018

Well I drove a 2001 Chevy Impala until recently and moved to this little jewel! Got a used Sonic LTZ with the 1.4 L Turbo engine and all the nice amenities. It is comfortable, love, love, love the gas mileage and design. It is fun to drive and cruises or accelerated great when I need it. And when I get home I am thrilled to see the MPG trip reading well in the 30s with a combination of highway and city driving. I made a good choice!!!!
