ALOT OF GET UP AND GO!! MY FAVORITE PART

I bought my Chevy Sonic straight off the lot at my work... It had no miles on it. I told my husband every time we buy a used car we pay it off and it falls apart so this time i want a brand new car!! It has a turbo engine so it has a lot of get up and go and can get going pretty fast.I love the color its Krypton Green and can find it anywhere its so bright and hasnt lost its color at all. Gas mileage I dont think its great.I guess sort of average but not nearly as good as other little cars!! Handles curves and turns like a champ.Unfortunately didnt handle the snow too well because the front is so low, we kept getting stuck and i had to rock back and forth so much of the way home because we kept getting stuck. We also had chains on at the time. What I dont like though is I feel its really small inside. After having a PT Cruiser this car is dinky inside!!. I cant fit hardly anything in this car!! When i went to visit my brother I let him drive and I absolutely hated the back seat, there was absolutely no leg room and were sort of short folks too!! Overall I do love my Chevy Sonic very much. I have had a few issues though. My air conditioner went out after 2 years and had to have it fixed before summer a couple years ago!! Everyone said it shouldnt have went out but well it wasnt blowing cold air!! Anyways Shes my baby and I love her!!

I got mine with 97,000 miles for less then $8000, I’m averaging 36.5 combined mpg and the little turbo engine is peppy and fun to drive. It has sxm radio, heated leather front seats and steering wheel, hands free control 2 one up touch windows and a nice infotainment system. It’s a huge upgrade from a 2003 Nissan Altima I used to have. Couldn’t be happier! His name is Sonic btw
