Great First New Car Buying Experience!

My parents worked with Andre before on the purchase of my dad's camero and had a wonderful experience the first time, which is why my mom chose to go back and have Andre sell us my new Chevy Sonic. I love the car! For the price, the options that come with it are unavailable at other places. This deal just seemed to fit what we were looking for perfectly!

A great little "Tow'd"

2013 Chevrolet Sonic LS 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 6A)

We bought this car because it can be towed behind our motorhome with all 4 tires on the road. It's simple to prep it for towing - one fuse to remove while towing. It tracks beautifully with the Blue Ox tow bar attached to the base plate on the car. There is exceptional cargo space when the back seats are down. The only negatives would be that sometimes it is difficult to remove the key from the ignition lock, and the back hatch door rattles some which I think is typical of hatch back cars. Overall - a great little car. 8/17 update Key comes out fine now . . . Paid over 1k for the Blue Ox tow bar and looking to sell both car and tow Ox as a dinghy for a RVer! 8/18 update The car races when first started each day. Although i paid over $600 extra for the platinum 7 year warranty when I purchased the new car in 2012, I was told that the "fix" for that problem was not covered. Fidelity Warranty Services! I won't do that again!!! I still own the car and will keep it as a second car for another few years. Estimated resale value - $4K. I have been amazed at the low resale estimates for the car. Much different than the Toyota's and other foreign autos I have owned. Is there something wrong with this picture?

Words cannot adequately express how much I love my car! I had been driving the same vehicle for over 14 years. And I decided that enough was enough. It was time to get something different. And it was the best decision that I have made in a very long time!

2013 Chevrolet Sonic LTZ 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 6A)

I have put about 75,000 miles on my Sonic LTZ, and it averages greater than 39 mpg. It looks nice, sporty even, and performs much like a sports car. There is no problem fitting four adults in the vehicle, with some baggage. Overall, it is a great American made value.

I bought this car 10 months ago. I have about 10,000 miles on it. I have the 2012 LTZ hatchback in Orange and love it.
