Hello all,

I'm obviously new here or else I wouldn't be posting in this area. I have always liked the concept of the Sonic but a couple things always turned me away. I never liked the circular headlights and taillights, and I also didn't like the gauge cluster.

As my fiancée and I are expecting within the next couple days and with the 2017 facelift got me looking at them again, and, well, I wound up ordering one. It comes within a couple weeks and I am super excited.

The one that I got was the 2017 Premier Hatch (Manual). Its' color is Nightfall Grey Metallic, and it will have the black bowtie emblems as well as the roof rails. The only other option going into it is the Driver Confidence Package which includes; Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and Rear Park Assist. Got that for the misses haha.

Super excited to have my first new car and can't wait for the warranty to finish up cause soon after I plan on having some fun with it.

I probably won't be on too much as I am terrible with forums but I will try my best.

Welcome!
We're always learning new stuff anyway so by time you're ready to mod we'll probably have things figured out even more

Also a new member!
Just bought a 2017 RS to replace my totaled 2015 Sonic.
I wanted to join the forum to learn more about these cars, I just love 'em.

Welcome to SOF!

I wouldn't want that nagging nanny Driver Confidence Package but if it works for your wife, that's all that matters.

How bout some pics of your wife's new Sonic?

 

[LMurphy]

Okay, sorry for the delay as the new baby, school, and work has been piling up. Here she is.
Still waiting on the roof rails and black badges to get here form the dealer.

Thanks for all the pics; we don't usually get that many from new members.

Car looks really good, and beautiful interior. I've not seen leather seats on a 2017 premier and was beginning to think leather was no longer available on the RS or Premier package.

The only blemish is that dealer badge above the 'Sonic' badge. I would have insisted the dealer remove it before taking delivery, which I did when I bought mine new. Free advertising defiling your car.

I do not have it taken off in the pictures but rest assured, that is exactly the first thing I did to the car when I got it home was take that sticker off. They put it on and it was taken off before the first 24 hours.

I do not particularly like leather seats but I changed my view with these, they feel real racy and I love it.

Nice car! I'm a little jealous of the wheels and the RS styling.

You wouldn't happen to know who owns that limited edition Indy 500 Camaro in the background, would you?

Great looking Sonic, I really like the updated front the more I see it and those tails flow really well. Thanks for the pics!

Awesome! Nightfall gray is my favorite Chevrolet color.

That is actually at the dealer. Being in Indy there are tons of those around. That one specifically was at Hubler Chevy in Greenwood, IN.

Eventually the wheels will just be my winter/all seasons and I will get something else probably within the year. Problem is finding the style that I like with our bolt pattern.

Thank you. It was that or the white. I battled with myself for three weeks which to choose. I ended up going to Facebook with a poll to determine which color. Grey won with an overwhelming majority.

I do love the gray and white... so I got red. [emoji23]

My parents live in greenwood! I'm on the west side of Indy. Congrats on you purchase!

Anywhere I can see what your car looks like? I might have seen it and might have been one that inspired me to get a Sonic.
