Just as soon as the 75b000mi warranty ran out is when the problems started. I'm at 110,000mi and I've practically had to rebuild the thing. Replace thermostat and repaired it twice more, replaced the alternator, replaced the radiator fan and motor, 2 valve covers, timing belt and pullies, water pump, mass airflow sensor, o2 sensor, purge valve and hose, throttle and hose, front sway bar kit, and the gearshift broke into pieces after jamming and couldn't take it out of gear or remove the keys. All these ammounted to about $3500 in work so far. All of these (minus the first valve cover) happened between 79,000-110,000mi. Been in the shop 7 times since december 2017. Things just keep breaking.

Small car with big interior

I'm 6'3", and the driver's seat has more headroom than some SUVs I've driven. The trunk is equally spacious, and I was able to move all of my things (except for furniture) no problem. I've primarily used it for longer (3-10 hours) road trips and short (<10 minutes) commutes.

Disappointing Quality

2014 Chevrolet Sonic RS 4dr Hatchback (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

I bought my car new in 2014 and have been disappointed since. The car is always losing coolant. GM says it's normal and topping off coolant during oil changes is normal. On cold damp mornings there is a strange bucking sensation that happens at the first or send stop. It only happens for a few seconds. Then at 49,000 miles a water pump went bad. Now only a few months later the thermostat and water temp sensor has gone bad. It very fun to drive but the reliability has been very disappointing.
