Used 2014 Chevrolet Sonic Consumer Reviews
2014 sonic- a/c and heat
I love my car for the most part. II purchased it June 2014. Right away I noticed that it felt like there was a vent open whenever I used the a/c. When I brought vehicle to dealership to put on license plates I mentioned it to them. They checked things over but couldn't find anything. I brought it back in a couple of more times that summer for same issue. They never could find anything wrong. The computer showed everything working correctly. Then it started to get cold (I live in mn). That's when I noticed the windows foggy up on the inside. Again,couldn't find anything wrong. The snow came and so did the ice on the windows...as I was driving with defroster on. I took pictures and sent to dealership. They finally were able to tell me that GM designed the car this way. They adjusted the vents and that did help a little. I keep a blanket in my car because one side of me (left side by window) freezes and the other side gets too hot. I don't even bother using the a/c as it just pulls hot air in.

The 2014 Chevy Sonic LT I used to own.
There are good and bad things about this car. One good thing about this car is that it's fuel efficient for all driving types. 30+mpg, and an option to add a bigger gas tank for this specific model vehicle. The one bad thing I've noticed when I bought the car is the fact that the dealership that sold me the car, sold me the car with only one key. The place was located in Freehold, NJ. The company was there roughly two years during and after I bought the car, and is now currently owned by another franchise. I was given a "what we owe" paper that tells me that everything that came with the car at the time of sale was in fact given to me, and if not, then the sale would be voided. I had a total loss claim and this was in fact, my first brand new car, and a year later it was stolen from date of purchase. I assumed that with the GAP coverage I had, I could get a vehicle through this new dealership, but they told me that they can't and don't handle the clients of the former dealership that used to own the rights to the cars they also sold. So I'm hunting for a similar model car, and even till this day, certain cars only come with one key. It's a bit suspicious to me because this is considered a feature of the cars and isn't listed as one to allow the consumer to see if the car does or not. This should be added to the Chevy lineup of cars since it's not there and would help to speed up a total loss claim involving thefts, so that there can be no mistakes as to how many keys come with the specific cars sold.

I have one whale of buyers remorse. Seems it wont go away. Maybe Sonic needs to go. Transmission works when it wants to, fails to downshift into lower gear when its needed. The automobile has the worse value for a car with 12 thousand miles on it and new Michelin Pilot tires The roof has been painted, suspension parts have been replaced. Car runs ruff in neautral as well in drive idling, have rectified some of ruff idle I use 93 octane seems to help somewhat also synthetic oil has helped to. Gas mileage is just a couple of MPG than my 2000 Nissan Truck, and the truck you couldn't tell it was running. The Sonic idles like the 4 cylinders of 20 years ago. GM should be shot. Selling such junk

Sonic the Hedgehog
If you prefer the "extras" - camera, navigation, entertainment system - purchase one with it included. Car rides well, has great sound system, great gas mileage, handles well, and the safety features are outstanding! Great first-car for new drivers; adorable for more-seasoned drivers. Very reliable-just keep up basic maintenance. I <3 this car!!!
