I wonder if the Japanese piss and moan about Hondas and Toyotas being manufactured in NA. Not trying to start anything, just wondering aloud.
Nah probably not since Honda sells so many cars world wide
I paid $10k for my 2013 in January 2016. It's worth $6k now, 7500 miles later. Have replaced more parts in 7500 miles (cc switch and end links) than I did in 92k miles of Scion ownership.
Can't wait to get rid of my Sonic.
As the title says...
Will be selling my Sonic and never looking back. First and last GM car for me.
Had a 2001 Jeep Wrangler
2003 1.4t Passat Wagon
2007 Nissan Versa
and a 2012 chevy sonic 1.4t
First off I don't post much but a long time lurker thank all of you for your time/helpful posts this has been the only plus about this car was the wealth of knowledge I can tap here.
Will be selling it with only 52k miles.
At 12k miles I actually had the water pump bearing go out.
At 23400 I had the Torque Hub give out an pee tranny fluid all over my driveway.
Had one of the bad battery ones. Acid...and cleanup (yay).
Two PVC vales which in the 1.4 means new valve cover/gasket (who the ?#$&^%! designed that ?!)
New wheel bearings and struts already too.
This thing has depreciated soo fast! For example sold my versa in with 120k miles and got 10k for it at a dealor (no trade in/up). Blue book for my sonic for dealer trade in is only 7650 with literally half the miles and same age . Oh and the Versa was only 14k. I got the LTZ here so it was 18500 new. Filed multiple complaints with GM the last straw was the PVC (again) but in military so in Europe. I know that GM doesn't do warranty work in Europe (although they own Opel) I tried my hardest just to get them to pay for the vavle cover as it's a **** design and who needs two PVC valves with literally 51200 miles on a car?! They wouldn't do jack . Wish ya'll many happy miles . The 1.4 T was soo much fun at first but the issues are just too many for me.
See ya'll on the road
