Finally got my Sonic!

It finally showed up! #77 off the line for 2018!
Premier 5-door hatch RS
6-speed manual
Sunroof
Performance package has yet to be installed (I had no idea that was a dealer-installed option!) so I'll have to make the trek back to the dealership eventually. I'm looking forward to the extra power and better suspension as this is awfully.... well not what I'm used to as you might be able to see.

Clearbra and tint is happening this week.

Oh, and the camera does NOT do this color justice! WOW is it beautiful.

Nice color!

That must be the same color as the Chevy Bolt, do you think? I have a Bolt parked out where I work.

Yup. Kinetic Blue Metallic. There's a few other cars that use it as well. It's a gorgeous color--especially with a fresh coat of wax on it.

Hi Shibbs, that color is awesome. How do you like the handling/ride w/ 17" wheels?
I've been looking at a similar premier, but w/ the Auto trans.

It's really nice. Not anywhere near amazing, but it handles well enough. I'm definitely not a fan of the Hankooks that come with the car - even with 40PSI in them the sidewall is MUSH. Once I put winter tires on these wheels, I won't be putting the stock Hankooks back on. Probably be replacing them with Continental Conti ExtremeContact Sport.
