Very good small car

2013 Chevrolet Sonic LTZ 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 6A)
We have had our Sonic LTZ with 1.4L and automatic for just over 3 months now and have close to 8000 miles on it. So far no problems whatsoever. We are a retired couple (67 years old) and feel comfortable in this car.
Gas mileage has been very good with 38.7 mpg reading on the car display and we also check it the old fashioned way and get similar results.
It is a fairly quiet car … depending on the road surfaces- some coarse pavement causing noticeable road noise but wind noise is low even on the interstate highway.
Handling is good but as one or two reviewers mentioned potholes or certain road irregularities can cause some darting.
If you want a horrible car, he is the one!!!!

2013 Chevrolet Sonic LTZ 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 6A)
I bought this car 1 yr ago with 29,000 miles on it, and have had nothing but issues! I have been to dealer literally 18 times! Constant shaking and rough idle that they say is "normal". They have replaced an A/C hose of some kind, water pump, thermostat, camshaft position sensor, head gasket, and 2 motor mounts, stitching on rear seat and that's just what i can think of off the top of my … head. It doesn't have a good throttle at all, but once you get going its fine. Really loud engine for such a small car, and gas mileage is crap! Cheap car in price, cheap car in quality. I guess you get what you pay for, but don't waste your money. Once the warranty is out your out of luck!!!!!
