My tire pressure light went off yesterday. This morning, I had to chance to get to gas station to put more air in the tire. Then, I found a nail in there. :( The pic is attached. Based on the location of the nail and a quick google search, I don't think it can be patched. If someone thinks...

While driving my 1.4T 6sp manual Sonic, I have much different driving experiences depending on whether or not the air conditioning is switched on. Oddly, the result is opposite of what I would expect. While the air conditioner is on, the RPM of the engine drops quickly, thus allowing for a...

I've always worked on my cars when I could manage it: a radiator hose here, spark plugs there, little stuff. But now that I have a new car (my Sonic), I want to take that a step further. Why? Because it's fun and a neat hobby. This next step will need a shopping trip, so I would like to ask...

Good day! I own a 2012 hatchback and I'm looking for ideas and suggestions on what to do when I put stuff in my trunk. I'm the type of person who has very little (nothing) in the trunk unless I'm actively transporting it. Of course, with trips to the store and a baby usually in tow, this...

Today I had a "whew" moment while driving to the store with my one year old daughter, Evelyn. For reference, I have a 1.4L Blue hatch with a manual transmission. Our subdivision pulls out onto a service road with a speed limit of 45 mph. I was sitting at the stop sign, about to turn left...

Purchasing my car from several states away has created some interesting situations, one of which is the lack of a front license plate bracket. Don't get me wrong, if I lived in a state that didn't require a front license plate, I would be very thankful for the dealer not installing it before...

Hello! I've had my 2012 1.4L manual Sonic for a few weeks now, and I'm very happy with it and all its shinyness (a technical term). One thing that's been bugging me though is the cold engine light; I have yet to see it come on. I am lucky enough to be able to park my Sonic in the garage, so...

Hello fellow Sonic owners! Some of you may have helped me pick out this Blue Topaz 2012 1.4L Sonic LTZ with a manual transmission. For that, I'm very grateful. I hit a bit of a rough spot trying to get this particular car. I got picky once I signed paperwork but had it sneak out of my reach...

Hello Sonic owners! As the topic states, I'm considering the Sonic for my daily driver. I've sat in and driven many of the other cars around this price point (Corolla, Focus, Fiesta, Elantra, etc), but the Sonic has a couple things that really appeal to me. Here's a bit of what drove me to...
