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!

I only had the vehicle for 6 years. It died at 108,000 miles and had to get junked. A great first car, but I expected several more years out of it

little problems

Ive had my sonic for almost a year. Ive had to have the radio replaced twice. People can barely hear me through the Bluetooth system (I have a Galaxy Note 3). The car idles weird now and theres a rubbing sound in the back end. This car feels very unstable on the highway and the dealer says there is nothing wrong with it. I went on vacation and someone smashed my passenger window open and the alarm DID NOT go off and GM says it will only go off if the door is opened. So far nothing major has went wrong and I'm hoping it stays this way. I will be trading out as soon as I can. I would not recommend this car to anyone.

Don't buy this car! Spend the little extra for better. It has been in the shop for emission problems every single year. Worse car every made

Decent Small Car but Cheaply Made

Used to enjoy this car. As the age went up, it became plagued with more and more issues. Sensors not working, transmission issues and finally the entire gear shift assembly get stuck in a gear in traffic.
