Strong metal on the Car. Cool design for a Hatchback. Interior is nice. But the 1.4t engine is like a giant paper weight. It seems the cars only purpose is as a yard ornament. Plastic thermostat housing that seems to fail often. Never should have been made out of plastic same with the valve cover its plastic and warps with heat and age another thing you should never have to replace. This engine is Junk junk junk junk junk. Seems completely designed to wear out as fast as possible. Lemon engine. They design a nice car then put a Junk engine in it. 6 speed shift knob literally is falling apart. Rubber is peeling off it. SHAME ON CHEVY!!!!! THIS PRODUCT IS A GREEDY DISGRACE

I love the Sonic RS, however I'm a little disappointed in the phone compatibility options. The Sonic uses BringGo as a navigation app that runs through your phone. After I bought the car, it turns out that the app doesn't work with the latest and greatest andriod, the S4. It does work though for the older S3 and S2. Also, I was thinking that pictures videos can be viewed from your phone through the usb port. It turns out only pictures and videos on a flash drive can be used.
