Hello all!
I'm Nate and I just purchased a 2013 Red LTZ Turbo hatchback. What a great car! Hoping for some new rims and a muffler soon (not a buzzer, just something with a chrome tip)
I did notice some water in the headlights last night..but there's nothing today...they should be a sealed unit...so it may be a dealer visit...bumper to bumper!

Besides that it's a great car, the seat heaters are HOT and I can't wait to see how my MPG's are. My old car was a 1996 Riviera, I had her for 8 years...but eventually she was starting to cost too much to keep running...

I also had a 2004 Civic Si, but it was short on creature comforts...fast, but no thrills... This Sonic fills in nicely where the Si failed.

Anyhoo....I used the owner's club forums for both cars and had a great time and learned a lot! I'm glad this site exists cause I'll be using it!

Nate

welcome to the family. You might want to look into the ZZP catback. it comes with a massive chrome tip.

I had magnaflows on the Riv...nice.
I'm just looking for a tip...no buzz box or stuff like that...
But thanks for the info!

I would like eventually to have disc brakes for the rear...I suspect the aftermarket is just revving up with Sonic stuff since it's so new...

 

[Stew]

Wecome! I'd like to eventually get rear discs too, figured I'd start checking the junk yards for RS's in about a year and grab the whole assemblies.

 

[Insanika]

Purty! The brakes are a big part of why I am going with the RS.

Welcome to the Show! Your headlamps are Vented and that is Normal Unless there is Water drops in the bottom of your headlamp...

Welcome to the crew Nate. Nice choice btw.

 

[Natesriv]

well I've had the LTZ for a little over a day and I love it. I did some research and read many reviews of this model...all positive. Youtube has some good videos...

Things I would like to see:
Automatic climate control
Power seats (why not!)
cargo net (do they have one?)
homelink garage door opener or at least an overhead bin to put a remote

Oh and I can't wait to drive her a full tank on my normal work route and see my MPG's..The Riviera got about 20 on Premium! I'm hoping for the high 30's

welcome

Nice sedan Blackberry...
I really looked at the sedan before the hatch too...This is the ONLY hatch made into a sedan style which looks right.
The Fiesta or Focus or Kia's just look lumpy...but the Sonic sedan has a mean stance, especially with the LTZ trim...
I mean...this is NASTY BAD!
