    Cross Canada road trip. Weight capacity?

    I'm moving cross country and am packing the sonic fairly heavy. Just curious if you guys think this is too much? I got a bit of wheel tuck in the rear but still a few inches of suspension travel. For those interested in the setup up top, it is a GM roof rack with a Sportrack Expedition carrier...

    What a piece of junk! (6 month update)

    Ok so 6 months ago or so my wife and I bought our first domestic. A 2014 Chevy Sonic LTZ with the 1.4L turbo. We wanted something efficient so we're not always driving the Tacoma or the 4Runner (Both lifted and both thirsty) Everything around here is far away and we do a LOT of driving. Every...

    195/50r16?

    Anybody running any 195/50 R16's? Winter is around the corner and I got 3 free winter tires with good tread in this size and I'd like to buy the fourth but am not sure if they'll fit the LTZ. Also, what is the bolt pattern of the LTZ? Same as other sonics?

    Any Edmonton dealerships worth a trip? Notorious 2nd gear crunch, sort of a rant!.

    Ok so my local (Cold Lake) dealership sucks big time. Apart from the great price I got for the sonic and how friendly the sales staff were and still are every time they see me, there is nothing great I can say about their customer service department. I'm looking for a dealership that will take...

    Anyone else's rear view mirror creaks?

    Only thing I have noticed with my new sonic so far is that the plastic rear view mirror creaks on rough roads, especially uphill. It's kinda annoying. Going to see if the front face of the mirror comes off and may just use some silicone to dampen it, not a big issue but annoying none the less.

    "The Penny" Sonic LTZ

    Everyone likes "The Penny" so much that I decided to make it its own picture thread. The penny came to us freshly minted (no pun intended) from the factory after a long 8 week wait. After a not so brief lecture by onstar I drove it on its maiden voyage to the shop where it was about to recieve...

    Plastidip vs. 3M cover. Thoughts, concerns?

    So the wife and I are still waiting for our factory order to come in. We are also waiting for a quote from our dealer for 3M covering. We can imagine this will be around $1000 or more as we want to cover the entire hood, a-pillars, 3" strip just above the windshield, mirrors, bumper, and a small...
