2016 Chevrolet Sonic consumer reviews

Drives perfect, but does have a setback of needing to be refuled more than other cars and trucks. Great for a busy office worker for transporting groups of 5 people as well as a groceries and supplies.

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.

Liked it would buy it. But need the leg room in the back for my kids car seats every once in awhile they ride with me.

I own a 2014 and love it. This model has several improvements and handles even better! Interior design is great and love the CarPlay

I traded my 2013 Sonic LT sedan for a 2016 LT sedan but with 1.4L turbo. All I can say is are they sure it's only got 138 Horsepower. I go from an onramp at 45 to 70 before the merge lane ends. I flown by cars at high speed with the pedal only halfway down. Yet I still average 26.5 MPG combined city/highway. It's exactly like my old Sonic just feels faster. The only option I got with the car was the Driver Confidence Package. It is great when it's nighttime with distance warning and line departure both on. Some don't like having some of these but it has been so useful. It even picked up someone crossing the street in total darkness. It only did it that one time but, it saved me from hitting them. I have used this car for everything from a commuter taking my spouse to the train and back at night, taking friends kid to daycare and back. I take a friend who doesn't drive for her weekly shopping. I have filled it to the roof with boxes coming out of storage. I've also given jump starts to 4Cyl.-big V8's. I don't think there isn't much left to do with it. It's been 13 months with a little under 16,000 trouble free miles. My old one had many issues under warranty and they left me stranded in some lonely places. But GM called the wrecker to take me to the nearest dealer and if they were closed I've been taken to the dealer where I bought it. So in summing up my 2016 Sonic LT Turbo sedan, it's the best investment of money I have made in a long time. As long as they keep making them I'll keep trading up.

This is my third Sonic. The first was a 2013 LT sedan, the second an LT hatchback with the 1.8L, and now an LT hatch with the 1.4 turbo. There is way too much about the car I love to list them all. The only thing I'm not too keen on is the touch screen. For me knobs would be better. The car fits like a glove, handles like a slot car, yet I will get out after eight hours behind the wheel feeling great. (That's quite a statement from a 65 year old!) Absolutely marvelous seats! Great gas mileage, power everything, remote car start. Cadilac quality paint job, it's a pity it took us so long to figure out how to build cars like this. A shame they changed the looks for 2017 as they took a truly distinctive looking small car and turned it into just an ordinary small car. Too bad.

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 love it all together its very quit and smooth riding the seats are very comfortable and I love the color.

I've had this car for a year now, and I'm so glad it's mine. I have a metallic black RS sedan, and I get compliments everywhere I go. Great in the city, sitting at the lights, and a wonder on the highway. You'd think with such a sporty appearance it wouldn't work for long distance driving, but it's surprisingly comfortable.

This car is great for driving around town. Front legroom is great. The dash is simple and very easy to read. I would not recommend this car for long distance trips. Gas milage should be a lot better than it is. Handles good in the snow. It turns tight and is easy to park.
