The Chevy Sonic is a nice, compact car. It runs well on gas, has various lovely utilities, and has only let me down once in the year it's been in my family. It can be used for both short and long distances comfortably, though it may take quite a few refills to make up for the smaller tank.

It's compact enough to get the advantage on parking. It's a smooth look that also doesn't make you look cheap. The gas millage is great at 32mpg. The interior is basic, not prefect, but worth its price. I got it based on reviews as one of the most reliable cars of 2016. I got it over a year ago, and have had no problems! It came with Sirius Radio channel. I believe the price was around $8,000 before taxes.
