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.

Dead at 120K miles

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

This car was initially rated well and was high quality when I purchased it. Unfortunately, checking back on issues other owners are having, my experience is similar to theirs. I have had the valve seals replaced 3 times at the dealership. They continue to fail at regular intervals. The turbo has failed at 120k miles and in turn, ruined the catalytic converter. I'm looking at a $3K repair bill - the car is only worth $2K, which reflects the fast depreciation of this poorly made engine. It's a shame, the rest of my car looks brand new. The engine is a complete disaster and has been nothing but headaches. I'm very attentive to regular maintenance; so these issues are Chevrolet quality issues. I will never by another GM product after suffering through the 2014 Sonic and 2001 S10. I have an LTZ 1.4 Turbo.
