Sonic owner since 2014, just joining form

Greetings Sonic Forum,
We have a 2014 LT 5dr Hatchback Crystal Red Metallic 1.4 turbo manual trans. The car is fun to drive, we wanted a manual tranny (scarce these days), and it gets around 37 mpg in semi-rural driving. So that's the good stuff. But it just went to the Chevy dealer for a water pump & oil pan gasket, so I thought it was time to join the forum, this car may require a community of owners to consult with, it seems. The Chevy dealer was cool about the warranty work, but that's a lot of failure for a two year old vehicle. Our other vehicle is a Jeep Patriot. I thought the Jeep would be the problem child, but no non-scheduled maintenance needed for 5 years.

I just bought a 2012 Sonic LT with the 1.4L and 6 speed MT. It has 103k miles on it, but it was a commuter car for a guy who lived outside of Denver and worked downtown. No rust, which is nice, but it had a few dings here and there. No mods when I bought it, but I'm making my own intake (Spectre filter and piping) and bought a Diablo II tuner from a member here. Not sure what I'll do next.

2017 Sonic in Kinetic Blue (the stock model with stock parts). Drove it off the lot with 8 miles (Bought back on 3/10/2017). Currently looking at 11k on the mileage (yes, in 6 months... an addiction to Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 37 miles away one way will do that)

Sorry, joined this a while ago and never put this in here.
I drive a 2020 Sonic Hatchback LT with the "Convenience Package". It is Cayenne Orange Metallic. Made a few modification you might find interesting.

We bought it because it is one of the few cars you can set up for flat towing behind a motor home and still have an automatic transmission. We have our set up with Blue Ox base plate, internal extra brake and turn signal lights and Brake Buddy remote braking system. So when we are pulling it, we hit the brakes and a air compressed piston hits the brakes in the Sonic.

Here is is all hooked up.

We pulled it from Ohio to Texas. Through Arizona to the Grand Canyon. Down Route 66 and back. Car is great and really like it. Small and quick. Hope they bring it back someday. I would buy a new one.

Really like the color on this one!

Its a shame that you are running the wheels while you tow it, its almost like driving the car and racking up the miles!

Just bearings and shocks, cold ATF is very thick and protective of a torque-less AT
