Used Chevrolet Sonic for Sale in Austin, TX

The base 2014 Chevrolet Sonic has a 138-horsepower four-cylinder engine that is adequate around town but struggles on the highway. It comes standard with a five-speed manual transmission. The available turbocharged engine has the same horsepower but a lot more torque for better acceleration. Both engines are available with a six-speed automatic transmission in some models. The Sonic’s combination of a comfortable ride, accurate steering, and athletic handling make it fun to drive. The base engine has an EPA rating of 26 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway, which is low for a subcompact car. The turbocharged engine with the six-speed manual returns 28/38 mpg city/highway. The turbo’s better fuel economy and acceleration make it a better choice, even for the higher price.

Very good performance. The suspension is impressive, being able to drive around curves or slaloms at a good speed. The dashboard is easy to read and informative, showing relevant information. The sound system is also impressive.
