    Are Chevy Sonic and Chevy Spark keys interchangeable?

    Hey Sonic friends, My husband and I just bought him a used 2016 Chevy Spark from a Ford dealer this past weekend. We love the little car, but the dealer only gave us one key. That's not going to work, as we both drive it and I do all of the maintenance. Being an LT1 trim, it has the same...

    Rebadging to a Holden

    Hey folks, It's been a while since I've posted anything on here; since the time we bought our Sonic this past January. Despite having only 1,500 miles thus far, we love our Sonic! It's been much more trouble-free than the Honda Fit we previously had and is a much more solid, enjoyable vehicle...

    Sonic to Barina Conversion

    Hey everyone, Has anyone done a Sonic-to-Holden Barina conversion? I'm from Australia originally and it just seemed natural to do it. It'll make me feel a little more at home too! Plus I can get the parts relatively easily through family or when I visit The rear badging seems simple enough...

    When Does the XM Trial Begin?

    Hey folks, I just bought my Sonic last weekend and it does come with the XM radio, along with three-month free trial. On the drive from the dealership, I noticed that the only station I could get was the preview station. I've received an email the days following to activate the XM Does the 90...

    My New Sonic Meets LA

    Hey folks, It's a crisp, clear, beautiful sunny day here in LA (no hard feelings to all of you struggling on the East Coast). I decided why not take a few shots around Downtown LA and take advantage of a day with no smog. The city served as the perfect backdrop for the Sonic, plus it gave me...

    Sonic VS Fit Comparison (the home edition)

    In the New Member Intro page, I introduced myself as a new Sonic owner and that I'd just purchased a new Sonic LT 1.8 with the manual this past weekend. Although it wasn't intended to be replaced for years to come, the previous car that I'm currently selling is a 2015 Honda Fit LX that has 4k...

    Finally Own a Sonic!!!

    Hey everyone, I'm not officially a new member, but I am now a Sonic owner! Back in late 2014, I was on here listening to your tales while considering a Sonic to replace my fantastic 10 year old Focus. However, the so-so reliability ratings on the Sonic turned me off, and we ended up buying a...

    Rental Sonic on Road Trip/Comparison to Honda Fit

    This past weekend for 4th July, I visited my parents up north in the High Sierra near Yosemite. One of my biggest thrills is renting cars and taking them on this 700 mile round-trip. The journey involves a variety of landscapes; LA freeway traffic, long, mind-numbing stretches of flat freeway...

    Your Overall View of the Sonic- Before Buying One...soon

    I found a potential buyer for my '15 Fit, and am starting to get second thoughts. The Sonic would be my choice guaranteed after the Fit. Will it be reliable? Am I silly for forsaking Honda's enviable resale and losing out on another new car that won't hold its value as well? My biggest...

    The Fit was a disappointment- Want a Sonic

    In February of last year I posted in the new member introductions that I was considering a Sonic among other cars to replace my old 2005 Focus. I was leaning toward the Sonic but wasn't sure about dependability. In October I ended up buying a brand new 2015 Honda Fit (my first new car). The...

    Hey guys, I happened to stop by one of the local public auction yards here in LA over the weekend. It's a good time filler for a car enthusiast and there's some unique cars and some oldies but goodies as well. I stumbled across the only Sonic I've seen there; it was a 2012 Sonic LS (build date...

    Hello Everyone! Considering buying a Sonic

    Hey Sonic owners and fans, I'm considering in the next six-seven months replacing my 2005 Ford Focus hatchback. It's been a fantastic car; stylish in bright yellow (which I love!), roomy, comfy, reliable (from a Focus!!), and drives so nicely with great handling and good power. It's just getting...
