This car is still available. The current buyer is having difficulty getting the money together and so as long as they are waiting, I am entertaining other offers. Original post below: The time has come to part with my beloved 2013 Chevy Sonic LTZ, 1.4 Liter Turbo, 6 speed manual. It only...

I have a 2013 Sonic 1.4L turbo, hatchback. Just under 25K miles. For the past few years whenever I pump gas, I have to do it at the absolutely slowest flow rate in order not to trigger the auto-shutoff on the gas station pump. Even at this slow rate, it often cuts off. It does not matter where...

I just installed a backup camera on my '13 hatch. I managed to get the wires from the camera into the hatch, through the rubber grommet thingy into the body of the car, under the C-pillar, and along the rubber weather stripping to the front of the car. I still have a couple of questions (I'm...

My 2013 1.4 Turbo just ruptured the coolant hose from the resevoir to the rest of the system. Am I correct in thinking that this part is NOT covered under the 5-year, 100,000 mile powertrain warranty?

Hi all, My 2013 1.4 turbo sprung a leak in the hose that leads from the coolant reservoir to the rest of the system. I got some silicone repair tape and wrapped it very tightly. The leak seems to be gone. My question is, now that I have added more coolant, should I be worried about air bubbles...

Mine was clogged (though I think I am having another leak on top of it). It took me a little while to find it so I thought I would add a picture of where it is here in case anyone else is looking for it: Here it is under the car. It is located behind the front suspension in the exhaust tunnel...

Ugh. I have a 2013 Sonic which I never ever take to the dealer. Well, about a few weeks ago I was running late to get out of town for a road trip and the car really needed an oil change. So I took it to the Chevy dealer (F. H. Daily Chevrolet) and had them do a basic oil change. Then I drove...

Well, here it is: 2017 Chevrolet Sonic gets Camaro-inspired facelift for NY debut meh. Headlights and taillights look a lot worse in my opinion. Not like I would be in the market for a new car anytime in the next 6 years, but I don't think this would have bubbled up to the top of my list...

Almost immediately after I bought my '13 sonic I was side swiped by a city bus. The body shop did an excellent job repairing the damage and almost everything is right in the world :) Except that now, about two years later, the passenger side mirror rattles whenever I drive on rough roads.I...

Just saw a very nice looking silver LTZ or RS (I only saw it for a split second) going to Berkeley Bowl this evening. Had roof racks on it which is the first time I've seen them on a sonic in real life. Looks great. I passed you on my way to the i80 on ramp (from Ashby) in my inferno orange...

2013 LTZ hatch. I have been getting a pulsating squeaking sound coming from what I assume are the rear brakes when I am coming to a stop. The sound only occurs when I am gently braking. It sounds like the brakes are warped, but I don't know enough about drum brakes to know if that is possible...

And where (if at all) do our Sonics fit in? I'm only interested in finding out what people think of looks, not performance or quality. (i.e. Corvette vs. Spark would only be based on styling). This is just idle curiosity. The rules (if there are any) are to only select from cars/trucks...

So I'm getting ready to (maybe) install permanent roof tracks on my hatch. The idea of drilling into the car is scaring the bejesus out of me, so I may not actually do it. That said, if I do I'd like to make sure I don't drill into anything important like wires, cross beams, or airbags. A lot...

My friend's Mini just up and died (transmission) and she decided that she was done with expensive cars. So it came time for her to buy a new car and I suggested that she consider the Sonic (as well as some other, similarly priced cars). She took mine out for a test. She did so reluctantly as...

After my LTZ Turbo Hatch (MT) of course...

Just announced from Google: Android Auto Android Auto Android Auto Demo at Google I/O 2014 - YouTube <-- this demo is being shown in a Chevy Spark! It sounds like a more involved version of what some of us have with the Bringo, Pandora and Spotify apps and our touchscreens. Chevy is listed...

...Are we gonna allow this? Autoblog has a little article about the sonic and spark. In the comments a bunch of trolls are voting down any positive comments about the cars. Head on over to Autoblog - Comments and let's make sure they don't sway the perception of our great little car!

God I hope not. Chinese facelift the Aveo/Sonic/Barina.

Just saw this: 2014 Our Sonics rank at #16 in domestic content/made in the United Statesness. That's pretty good if you are in favor of that sort of thing. I like it.

For I have found a solution. Turns out that a VW headrest from a 2004 Jetta Wagon fits our cars! (Please read the warning at the end of this message before installing though). It may well be that many other VW headrests will fit as well, but this just happens to be the one I had access to. I...
