Great Gas mileage

A great car for everyday use and one to have on a long road trip, i drove 13 hours with this vehicle and only had to put a total of 33 dollars worth of gas in it. The handling was really smooth and for a car i did not suspect, it had some acceleration.

New car

I am a college student and the sonic meets all my needs. I am small, 5'0, and I wanted a more compact car, but even though it's compact, it still feels spacious. It has great gas mileage and my car is a fun color that feels very me. I love my new Sonic a lot.

Very good car for price

I needed a small fuel efficient car that looked sharp, and the Sonic RS package hit all my needs. I really wanted a manual transmission, and the RS package makes it look 100x more sporty. Just a fun car to drive, the turbo gets the job done, and it is just a solid car especially for the price I paid for it. Very quiet, smooth ride, no over the top frills, but had all the nice perks of a modern car including the Google Play feature for my phone.

Good car

Only rode it for a rental. But has a VERY smooth ride. You don't even feel bumps. Very quiet on the road. Lots of cool features like back up camera and voice talk, wifi is included. Gas is great. Realy loved that car

Better than mini cooper

I thought my Mini Cooper had great pick up but it wasn't as good as my new Sonic. I love the ride and the pick up on the Sonic. Also, running the air conditioner doesn't cause any drag on the engine, which was a problem with the Mini Cooper.
