My Brother Love His First Car

I was looking for a car for my 16 years old brother as his first car since he just got his driver's license. The only pity is the window design; it rises and down by manual. For a 2019 new car, the designer better change to electrically open and close. However, this is a base model car, I have to nothing to complain about it. My younger brother loves it. Overall, It was a great car.

Pretty good little car

I actually bought a 2016 Sonic hatchback after driving 2 Toyota Prius hatchbacks for 15 years. The Sonic is perfect for a 2 person and a few dogs family but not roomy enough for large people in the back. It's pretty peppy and fast too. The visibility in back can be improved by removing back seat headrests. Just be sure to use them if a person is in the backseat.

Nice but has a few issues

I recently bought a Chevy Sonic. I think it was a manufacturer defect but the heater core cracked two weeks after I bought it. It sprayed Anti Freeze in the car. I didn't even have 2000 miles on the car when this happened. This may make my review a little jaded. The Sonic is a nice riding car and gets good gas mileage. Unfortunately the car doesn't connect correctly to a Samsung Galaxy 9. If you receive a call the system will continue ringing even after you hang up and disconnect your phone. You have to shut the car off and wait 15 minutes for the system to reset. The front of the car is roomy and comfortable. The back seat is a little cramped. I do like the infotainment system and long as you don't use a Galaxy 9 it works great. The car comes with a lot of features for the price and otherwise is a pretty decent car.

Great little car

I test drove the Spark before buying this and am really glad I didn't buy the Spark. The transmission handles so much better as it is the standard and also I really enjoy the extra horsepower. If you're looking for a great deal and a cute little hatchback this is the car for you! The interior is slightly cheap and missing things like a center console and a sunglasses holder but it was nearly 10k cheaper than Toyota's competition so I'm pretty happy.

Safe and Lotsa Fun

This car is the size I need - small enough to park easily and big and comfortable enough to take on the Interstate! The Infotainment Crnter is handy and extensive Seats are comfortable and the 4 cal Turbo has good power. Love the blue color.
