Just got a "new" replacement v20. Previously with varisous phones I would pair and the gm music device would show up along with the my vehicle. With the new phone only the my vehicle shows up with a misc. The phone pairs and shows up on the radio but not the gm music device. Anyone else have...

I have a dash cam with rear camera as well. It uses a cigarette lighter for power. How do I pop off the trim to run power cord down to the lighter or other switched power? Once I figure that out I also have to run the long rear camera cord to the front. But thought I would start with the easy...

anyone have any experience/feedback on these: https://www.fasttech.com/p/3542100 It is a Bluetooth scan tool that relies on you phone with simple hardware. I figured at $7 with shipping it if doesn't work I'll just toss them. I also recommend they not by used all the time as they might...

My 2012 sonic appears to have a "wrap around" on the phone book from my galaxy s3. I attempt to dial a "v" listing and get a listing from the "a" section. the listing immediately behind the original "v" listing is the next one in the "a" listing. When dialing manually the v listing, the sonic...

My 2012 LTZ 6 speed manual turbo shifter knob has the metal chrome pealing off. Can I get a stock replacement knob anyplace?

Long time no post so here goes. Just hit 40,000 miles on my sonic. It is a 2012 (waited months to get) 1.4 turbo manual 6 speed LTZ. Very happy with it and especially the oil consumption. I go 12000+ miles and it's still at the top of the dip stick.

problems I've had with my 2012 ltz 1.4 turbo manual. 1) starter wire loose--took three days to find. LOL 2). one recall for fuel line or something 3). front sway bar end rattling--replaced no cost. Now for the really really fustrating unacceptable for a 30K car problem. an oil leak...

Got a rent a car for a week and chose a cruise because I though I would be familiar with the blutooth and stuff. Bottom line is I am so glad I got a sonic. In order to get in the cruise I had to pretend (and I'm a guy for the record) I was a gal in a skirt. Face to the left, put my butt in...

Here is a review of 10 economy cars. the sonic and Fiesta are rated the best. Your Guide To The Cheapest New Cars On The Market (they also mention the spark). FWIW I am really happy with my sonic and glad to see others' are noticing as well. The sonic is much better then my old 1999 saturn...

Just got my 2012 sonic ltz 6 speed manual turbo back from my 25,000 mile maintenance/oil change. second oil change-- both times less than 1/2 quart oil used. not bad!!!! anyway had two new items. The driver's door weather seal wore our where my fat a*** rubbed againset it exiting and...

GM sales rise in U.S. - CBS News Wow this really surprised me. sure I really really like my 2012 sonic and am very impressed. But I see much less sonics here the honda fit's (or it seems that way anyway). Plus I see almost no advertising here for the sonic after the original over the top...

Just heard on the nightly news (4-sep-2013) how auto sales had done so well. The best selling GMs were the silverado and sonic. So just how good is the sonic actually selling?

My dash mpg is 32-33 mpg which also agrees with my ultragugae when I was using it. My manually computed milage is much lower like 27-29 or so. Has anyone else had a similiar disagreement between your manual calcualted milage and the displayed amount? I did reset it once and the same thing...

once. Traveled on interstate for 160 miles under 75 and finally got 39-40 mpg. Usually get 35 or less. 2012 1.4 turbo 6 speed manual.

My 2012 turbo manual 6 seems to have an oil usage problem I'm now at 19,500 miles. I changed the oil at 12,000. i think? So 1)is it time the change again? 2) why doesn't my oil level go down on the dip stick?
