I'm thinking about selling my sonic. As much as like the car, its been collecting dust for the past 2 months. I've only put 70 miles on it since 3-30. When i bought my sonic I wanted a fun fuel efficient car to get back and forth to work. Now I have a new job, with a company vehicle that I...

Just figured I would let everyone know I just saw a commercial for xm. XM is free till 6-2-14 for all non subscribers. Thats a whole 4 days :rolleyes: They also said they are offering deals to returning subscribers. They didn't say what kind of deal though.

:banana: Riding season is upon us. :banana: Since there is no motorcycle thread yet I figured I would start one. Post up pics of your bikes. Talk about rides you've been on or plan on going on etc. The past few years I haven't ridden nearly as often as I would have liked to. Between my wife...

Anyone know of a good product for removing rust stains? This winter was way too cold and snowy to try and keep my car clean. Unfortunately the lack of cleaning resulted in rust stains on my rims from the rotors. Normal car wash soap and elbow grease won't touch the stains. Before I try any...

When are they going to issue a recall for this? I've heard this question hundreds of times. If its not a safety issue, or emissions related, it will never be recalled. I don't care if gm finds out that every radio ever produced will turn into a brick tomorrow, its not a safety issue. Same goes...

Just got an email from onstar about a recall for my '13 sonic. Apparently it's for an enhanced software update. Anyone know what they're updating and why? My sonic is a 1.4t automatic. It was built 10-12 so it was built after the BCM update for flashing brake lights or not warning a turn...

This is something anyone with a stock intake should check. While checking things under the hood, I rested my hand on the hose between the air filter housing and turbo. Then I noticed the hose move where it connects to the turbo inlet. Without much force the hose was able to be wiggled off. I...

Did chevy chande the shade of the blue topaz paint between '12 and '13? I have a blue topaz hatch and have never seen the bright blue like I've seen in other members photos on my car. A quick look on cars.coms web sight shows the available colors for each year. The '12 is brighter than the '13...

I'm looking for 4 rims either 15" or 16" to mount snow tires on. I don't need tpms, or tires unless they are snow tires. Thanks

If this is old news sorry, but I haven't seen any info on here about it. :eek:I just read about a possible fuel tank strap recall on '13 '14 sonics. Apparently some straps were improperly welded. According to the article a recall hasn't been issued yet, but it is something to keep an eye on...

I currently live on Long Island NY. With the high cost of living and my wife not working so she can take care of our 2yr old, $$ been tight. So I've been thinking about selling our house and moving out of NY and going where cost of living is less. Now here's my problem. I'm a union (IUOE local...

I don't know if it has been done or discussed on here, but I couldn't find it. Has anyone converted the rear drum brakes over to the disk brakes that are on the rs models. If so is it a basic swap, bracket, caliper, rotor etc. or does it require changing the rear spindle/axle assembly? Also is...

Just got my new sonic on the 22nd. Blue hatch LTZ 1.4l turbo at. Can't wait to see how much $$ I save at the pump compared to my Tahoe.
