2012 Chevrolet Sonic 1LS review

Great, reliable car

I bought my 2012 Sonic used in 2014 with 30,000-ish miles on it. It's getting ready to turn 200,000 and going strong with no major work needed. I've done routine maintenance and replaced the battery once. That's it! I'm a happy customer :)

Subaru of Kings Automall review

I had a great experience buying from Subaru of Kings Auto

I had a great experience buying from Subaru of Kings Auto Mall. It was quite different from most other dealership experiences that I've had. None of the "pretend we're lowering the price by extending the term and showing a lower payment", which has happened to me so many times at dealerships. I made an offer, the offer was accepted, and that was that. Ethan was a pleasure to work with. There was one point of hard-sell on the extended warranty, but that's to be expected on an auto purchase. Overall very happy with my experience.

Wilsonville Subaru review

We bought a vehicle from Harrison Luccock at Wilsonville

We bought a vehicle from Harrison Luccock at Wilsonville Subaru and we absolutely love it!!! The staff there was amazing and very friendly. Any issue that arose they handled immediately and professionally . The car we wanted wasn’t available so they gave us “plan B” and we love it!!!! Thanks for being so amazing and if we get another vehicle, we are coming to y’all. As a side note, we went to the Toyota dealer first and their customer service was horrible! I will stick with Subaru!!!

2012 Chevrolet Sonic 1LS review

This car saved my life!

I had my Sonic for 8 years, and lost her to a T-bone collision. I was hit by a small SUV going about 60 mph. It took EMTs 30 minutes and the Jaws of Life to free me from the wreckage. The only severe injury I had was a broken left fibula. Not shattered, just a trauma break. My Ortho was amazed! He actually asked me about the car, so he could look into it for his teenager. He said that type of crash usually results in multiple breaks and shattering on the side of impact. He told me that I am incredibly lucky and that my Sonic is 100% the reason I am not paralyzed or worse! I would recommend to anyone with safety concerns!
