I've owned this car for a few weeks now. Initially, I was a little skeptical about the size but I'd driven a Cobalt a number of years prior and really liked it so I decided to give it a test drive. After the test drive, I liked the vehicle so we went ahead and purchased it. I've read from a number of reviews that it doesn't get the same gas mileage as similar cars in it's class. From what I've read that's due to the weight of the vehicle. But to me, that says that more durable materials and equipment are used. When you're getting over 30 mpg city driving I'm okay with sacrificing a few mpg for safety. I was driving a minivan prior to purchasing this vehicle so it's still a great savings in fuel economy. Tonight the car really proved it's worth as I drove home in sleet and freezing rain on roads that had barely been touched by the salt trucks. The Traction Control System and StabiliTrak kicked in a few steps along the way but overall we stayed on track and had very little problem. As a mom travelling with my 5-year old precious cargo safely buckled into a booster seat in the back seat I can't say enough about peace of mind I now have after driving this car on poor roads. The front and back seat are both comfortable and roomy. I love the features of the heated front seats, the remote start, and the infotainment system. We added a portable dvd player to the back seat for my son. I have to say so far I am absolutely loving this car and would recommend it to anyone. Update: six months in and still loving this car.

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!!!

The process went well I think. The seller devoured a pizza during the paperwork session. Test drive was spirited. The drive home Sonic handled the rainy conditions well. Quarter of the way home we pulled over for gas when we discoved the ignition key would not come out and the left rear tire was slowly losing air. Deihl Chevrolet discovered the gear shifter was faulty and not locking into park properly, not releasing the key. New shifter inatalled. Another local garage inspected the tire, found a piece of metal lodged in tge tread. He was able to fix the tire. Some unexpected expenses straight off on ownership, now the car is a pleasure to drive around. Was it worth 2 round trips from Pittsburgh to Arlington, VA? Yes, the wife is thrilled with it which makes me happy. She loves the Dragon Green color.
