By Rory from Roanoke, VA

Owns this car

My partner and I paid $10k for a 14,000 mile 2012 Chevy Sonic LT 1.4L and it has been the worst financial investment we have ever made. We have paid over $8k in repairs over the last 18 months (all of the easy stuff, we did ourselves). The parts are made cheaply and it constantly has overheating problems, which causes more parts to fail. I miss my subaru more every day. Wouldnt reccomend to anyone except someone I hate or possibly a toxic ex

December 13, 2023

By Steve from Dracut Ma

Owns this car

I'm an old man and I drive kind of slow my transmission on my 2012 Chevy Sonic died at 80,000 miles then at 100,000 miles the passenger side motor mount went when I originally bought the car which was about 12 years ago the thermostat housing was cracked right from the factory and it was never recalled it was a common problem right off the assembly line. The thermostat housing was made out of plastic and the people Factory over tightening them and cracking the plastic housing leaving it to the consumer to fix unless they caught it before the $45,000 guarantee ran out I wouldn't buy this car it's nothing but problems
