2012 Chevrolet Sonic LTZ 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 6A)
For a fwd car it is ok, its nothing special. Good for a first car or someone who doesn't care about how much space you have. Would i recommend this car for winter driving, not at all. (even with winter tires its not much better in snow) Best things about it would be heated seats and remote start, if equipped.
Nothing Exciting

2012 Chevrolet Sonic LTZ 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 6A)
We bought this car because of the price and advertised MPG.
Since owning it, we have noticed that the MPG is no where near what it claims to be, as much at 7 MPG less at times.
The look of the car is interesting to be kind.
The front end is UGLY and the rest is bland.
The inside has some nice features such as leather, heated seats, bluetooth, and power everything.
However the cabin is … very cramped and the driver seat is painful at times.
The arm rests are at different heights which can be awkward.
Do not expect to be comfortable if you weigh more than 150lbs.
Performance of this car is a joke.
The non-turbo has no throttle response at all and struggles on even small hills.
Exactly what I figured

Good car, but as you get older your back and the rest of you can only handle so much.
