New to Chev, New to Sonics

Ordered my sonic a few days ago after a lot of deliberation. Was going to go with something bigger, but I'm really quite keen to the 2017 Sonic's aesthetic.

Previously drove a Mazda 2, so I figured why not get a fully loaded Sonic. Keep the size, but upgrade the prize.
It's being driven to me today. Because I'm too lazy to go pick it up; and the dealership I purchased through offers free province-wide delivery.

Was never a member of any of my previous car's forums, but I won't even have the car for another few hours and here I am already.

Greetings!

Welcome to SOF from Lindsay Ontario.

Since you posted early this morning I assume you have your Sonic by now?
Tell us which Sonic you got and post some pics here after you get your 10 posts in the spam thread.

Where in Canada are you?

I purchased a 2017 Sonic RS with the True North edition package in Nightfall Grey. Pretty much fully loaded as far as the manual was concerned. Received it yesterday afternoon.

I'm from Nova Scotia by the way.

Your RS looks really good. What is this 'True North edition package'? I'm guessing it at least means heated seats and steering wheel.

Which engine did you get? I ask because prior to the 2017 model, the RS badge was only on 1.4 turbo.

The RS Package is just an appearance pack. Rally Sport. Different body kit, and some red trim on the interior stylings. Nothing major.

The True North edition changes the engine from the 1.8, to the 1.4 litre turbocharged engine. Also bumped me from a 5 speed to a 6 speed stick.
Gives the car a power adjustable driver seat, sunroof, keyless entry, keyless start, compass, and probably a few other minor things.


As far as plans for it go, nothing right off the bat as of yet. Still looking into available modifications, and what I can/can afford to do right now.

That's surprising. I mean, what do all those options have to do with 'True North'? I thought it would be options needed for a colder climate.
Nice total list of features though; I have all your options except keyless start and power driver seat, but the option packages had different names in 2015.

the RS badge gave me all those options in the states.

Canada's options packages are particularly weird. We typically don't have the same sub-models either.

Something similar to a Touring Edition in the states Could be available as a GS or GX, or an LS or LT in Canada.

Makes it hard to find info on vehicles sometimes, because the models range so widely.

The US typically has more options in general.
