2013 Chevrolet Sonic Sedan LT 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 6A)
Review
The suspension is poor.
It does not soak up bumps well, or handle potholes well, producing a very uncomfortable ride.
Unless you are living in an area with beautifully paved streets and you drive on them all the time - this probably won't matter.
And also suspension is designed poorly - unstable. The car jolts left and right when hitting rough pavement, making me wonder what happens if you're on the expressway going fast and you run into this. I think the car is accident prone.
The 1.8 engine is noisy, lacks passing power,
and wind/road noise is excessive. The 1.4Turbo option quiets the engine noise somewhat and increases torque, but does nothing about the excessive road noise caused by poor insulation. This car is built a little but like the old suv's. Thin and high, rather than long and wide. The center of gravity is too high and too narrow instead of being low and wide. Test drive one yourself and see if i'm right.
On the plus, it's much better than the car it replaces - The Aveo. So if you liked that car, you'll love this one. Me, i'll skip it.
Now also think about this: this same 1.8 engine is being used in the much heavier chevy cruz LS also.
So do you think you should avoid that trim line?
If you decide on the cruz, opt for a higher model with the 1.4 turbo, but it's also much more expensive.

Review
The best part is I can fit my convertible car seat, a infant car seat and still fit an adult in the back seat (traveled 150 miles like that today) The fuel seems good but i'm not sure, i went on a 2 hour drive today an back, an used almost 7 gallons of gas, i was pretty upset with that. Backing out of my drive way, whenever my tires go down the front of the car hits into the drive way, it does that on alot of people's out where I live... not much i can do about it, but they are really low to the ground.
It's a great car , but we will see as the time goes on. Oh and the throttle is horrible!
