Just got through that mess of getting into the forum - Just complaining.
As a past personal mechanic to a guy with car collection, I have joined many a forum, and this one has the worst sign in process. I realize its staying one ahead of spam, but ugh.
Ok, we rented a Sonic for a weekend, was a LT and it ran pretty well. We had 2 and luggage, hit some small mountains East of Seattle and it pulled through ok with the 1.8 / auto but did rev up high. Fuel MPG was fairly good but we were not trying hard.
I also drove to a trail head for hiking and was impressed at how the little car ate up the potholes. The steering was good and handled well - just a bit skittish feeling - such a short wheelbase.
Anyway, researched them a bit and now that I have a long commute on my job, I'm looking at buying one.
I will post separately that topic.
