    Traded out the Sonic

    Sad to say, I had to let my little Sonic RS go. :( Loved the car and had a blast while I owned it, just wish the paint decided to stay on the car rather than get scraped off. Traded it in on a new Camaro. :) Wish it got the MPG but, you gotta pay to play I guess! I will say, I like this...

    Hatchdoor Paint Issue... Again.

    I recently posted about my hatch door rubbing against any surfaces it may contact. This would scrape the paint away. Luckily, the car was repainted and it looked nice and I was told the door was adjusted. Fast forward to today, once again I am detailing my car and I notice the door is chipping...

    Neat Weather Observation

    So recently it warmed up to around 35-40 degrees. This is up from the usual 0-10 degrees... Anyways, I drove the sonic on the same highway trip I usually do and ended up with a solid 2.5 mpg better than when it was cold out. I don't know how accurate that is, but if so, it's kind of...

    Sonic 1.4 Heater = Garbage?

    Does the 1.4 sonic just have a terrible heater or what? Takes a good amount of time before the heat even slightly comes out.... Rear window defrost and seat warmers work well though.

    Eco cruze vs sonic rs?

    It isn't a race question.... Just a dumb one. So when I drive my lady's cruze eco MT... It feels like it is "quicker" It has 65k on it. My sonic RS has just under 4k miles on it, and it feels like it doesn't pull as hard.. Maybe i am just assuming it?

    Shifting problems?

    Hey As it's gotten colder, I've found that my sonic doesn't like to go into gear very well... It seems like when I try to shift it's hitting a "wall" then I have to put extra force to make it go into gear. Its very noticeable in 5th gear. Anyone notice this kinda stuff?

    Possible front end issue.

    Hello all, I have a 13 sonic RS M/T with 2k miles on it... Sometimes if I take off harder than usual, go over a bump, or casually take a left turn, the car will make a very LOUD metal on metal smacking sound. The only way I can describe it is if you took a hammer and struck a piece of metal...

    Moar turbo noise

    Hello all, I want more turbo sneezes. If I can't go fast I might as well make it sound like it can. Can I achieve more sound from a simple filter swap? Or is the intake as restrictive a I read leaving me with buying an intake Thanks
