So I'm having a curious problem... I can't turn my traction control off. The button does not respond to my presses. I can't hold it and get stability management to turn off either. Is there a fuse in this system or did the switch die on me? My 30lb dog occasionally steps on the switch, but...

Item 1 - LED fog lights. Not a fan of the standard fogs, or the new RS fogs. Very envious of Ford's LED fogs. Item 2 - LED Halos. This car looks awesome with them. Item 3 - LED Taillights. Can't wait to see some! Item 4 - Roof Rack. Need to get our two kayaks around! Hopefully...

My 1.8L auto hatch is at just over 4800 miles, and as of last night, oil life (according to the car) is just over 50% still... I can't imagine the oil will be good for 10,000 miles but perhaps with oil being as good as it is and engine technology improving, is it plausible? Anyone know if the...

I was on a steep incline coming out of a parking garage when I noticed it. Pretty neat!

Here it is for all of you still tossed up. In the left corner we have Sunburst Orange Metallic and in the right corner, we have Inferno Orange Metallic. My vote is for inferno!

Saw it when the sun was hitting it right. Future Sonic ECO? Also, I wonder what the trip meter reset button is for when everything is done on the blinker lever? Or how bout the difference between TC off and squirelly driving car off? TC off button does the TC off light.

Checked the manual and it doesn't say you can't, but I haven't done it just in case. It says don't shift to reverse though so I don't know. Anyone tried?

Here's a vid I took this weekend to give you guys a better idea of how nice the 1.8 sounds from the cabin. This car is silky smooth and the engine pulls quite hard. As a side note, I did not have the pedal on the floor for these vids. mN79uhtaITU

Destroyed a possum @ 70mph w/ the left front. No damage as far as I could see looking underneath. Woofta

It looks terrible on my bookmarks bar w/o a logo! Sonic-Mike, you should give us the size spec and make a contest out of it.

I've got it bad for rally cars... The WRC Fiesta and the like are phenomenal looking and I would be tickled just to see a rendering of what a WRC Sonic would look like. How about the rest of you?

2012 Chevrolet Sonic LTZ First Drive "If small is the next big thing, then the Sonic is huge." "...we observed a consistency in this Chevy that Porsche engineers strive to achieve: matched effort in all driver controls." "Name a category and the Sonic either matches or dominates its...

Here's a couple of cool, relatively hidden features I've found on the Sonic you guys might enjoy... 1) There's a setting in the vehicle menu on the radio that automatically turns on the rear wiper if the car is put in reverse with the front wipers on. 2) This one might be common now a days...

Traded in my Ford Explorer for the Sonic today!!!! :D Ended up with the LT, 1.8 auto, inferno orange hatch, black interior w/ the connectivity package. LOVE IT Took it up to the cabin and back (~150 miles) and am in love. Its fun to drive, remarkably quiet, the seats are incredibly...
