Best Comfort Ride

The 2017 Sonic LT RS is a little fast and furious. No need for aftermarket to look like the Fast and the Furious Movie while all of them are standard and slick looks. Very fast and quiet with heck of a comfort seating and enough room seat for front and back passengers.

Love My Sonic

I am only 5 days in but already love this car. It is comfortable, and easy to manage. This car even though a smaller Sedan it is roomy. The trunk is also very spacious. The car runs fantastic. For me the crank windows are a plus.

Slick ride would've bought two but no B1G1 deal

I really enjoy the features and internet, what. Sirius comedy channels all the way. The red gray and black interior is too much. All it needs to make it better is more power I like the get up and go off it but you can always go faster.

Great starter car for my daughter

I am really pleased with the Sonic. It's small enough that makes handling it easy, but big enough that she doesn't feel like she is driving a toy.

Once you get over the hard plastic, you will like

Almost bought sonic hb twice, let the hard plastic get in the way. Consumer report recommended since it came to market in 2012. I liked the face lift, liked design before. Owned many cars: Kia souls, Honda fits, scion IM, mitsubitsi outlander sport. All nice cars each has pluses and negatives. I prefer sub compact cars and sonic doesn't disappoint. Got 1.4 turbo, tried 1.8 was fine but raspy. Turbo is the way to go, smooth, quiet, not fast just fast enough. On the highway feels completely solid and sound, passing at 70 mph not a issue., quiet cabin considering size and price. I test drove all the subcompact cars and for me this car out did the others, in the $19,000 range.

The Sonic is a great value car with big car features. They made it roomier in the interior which is awesome and the MPG is hugh.

Really Great Little Car for the Money

My son needed a new car after losing his in an accident. We were impressed with everything about this little sedan. It had everything you could want including great gas mileage rating and a backup camera.
