My car has developed a sour smell (like a wet cloth that was left wadded up). I asked about it when I had routine Oil Change. I'm pretty sure moisture is caused by condensate from the AC. They said it was normal and cleaning (I don't remember what he called the area that needed cleaning) the...

I received my monthly status from On Star which says two of my tires are below pressure. However, my dash light doesn't indicate a problem. I assume my display light for low pressure is not working properly (it does light up before cranking the car). However, before I risk wasting an hour at...

The sun visor is not very long, but the side window is. In the winter, I am having to position my hand to block the sun. About 3" of black film at the top of the window would be functional, but it is not a look I like. Maybe if there was a 4" tall gradient film that was clear at the bottom and...

I'm kind of glad this isn't coming to the US because I might regret having bought my Sonic! I always love love the practicality of a wagon, and this one is pretty sexy! Chevrolet Cruze Station Wagon Pictures Emerge Ahead of Geneva | AutoGuide.com News

At a bit over 200 miles, I am beginning to worry. I know it is common to smell burnt oil from a new car as residual oils used as preservatives on the engine and components is heated and burnt off. It is never real strong, but how long should I expect to wait before addressing it with the...

After 3.5 months, I finally got my new car! Here are some things I think worth sharing: Removing emblems: Aside from not putting any dealership decals on the car (something I have requested for my last 3 cars), I asked my sales guy if he could have their shop remove the "Sonic LTZ" and the...

My car should be showing up at the dealership any time now. Does anyone have any tips for taking delivery? I'm kind of afraid the excitement of getting the car will lead to missing things best caught at the dealership. Any thoughts or tips are appreciated!

By all accounts I have read, it seems that the 1.4T has better performance than average in its class. However, seeing how easily the Trifecta tune adds 30% hp and 30% torque really begs the question of why Chevy didn't tap into more of this potential. Brain storm this with me. Here are a some...

Just found this review dated 2/2/12: 2012 Chevrolet Sonic Road Test It is great to see this car establishing Chevy as the one to beat among small cars!! :)

Well, my Sonic ordered on 11/3/11 went to event status 3000 on 11/8/11 and is still there today.:( After 2 months with no progress, I am a bit frustrated. Fortunately I am under no obligation to buy it when it arrives. I ordered because 1.4T Sonics were not in circulation; but now, I think I can...

I hate to admit that I didn't notice the absence of a cup holder until someone here pointed it out. Has anyone come up with some specifics to install a decent looking and performing after market cupholder?

Why not include a "Half Tune" that gets about a 15-20% increase in HP and Torque along with the Factory and Normal Trifecta Tune? I would think it would cost hardly anything, and I bet sales would increase substantially. Many of us are understandably wary of adding the full power increase to...

Fiat 500 Abarth This the best car commercial I have seen in a long time (maybe ever!). fiatusa's Channel - YouTube FYI - Abarth is Fiat's high performance division.

Sonic is finalist for Motor Trend's "Car of the Year" I was in the doctor's office today and had a few minutes to peruse the January 2012 issue of Motor Trend. I was pretty happy to see that the Sonic was a finalist! The VW Passat won so this is among a broad category of cars (not just...
