When the transmission went out in my mini-van, I knew I was in the market for a new car. I focused my search on compact cars with good reviews and great gas mileage. In the end I purchased a 2012 Chevy Sonic. I am extremely happy with my new little ride. The body and trim style is sporty, featuring "motorcycle" style headlights. This style continues to the interior in the two-tone dash and retro-look gauges. At first I wasn't crazy about the black interior, but once I noted the cloth upholstery, I no longer worried about sizzling seats in the summer! I have cranked up the stereo several times and love the sound quality. In addition, the convenient volume and search controls on the steering wheel let me keep my focus on the road. The six-speed automatic seems to hesitate just a tad in second gear, but there is plenty of pick-up power when I'm merging onto the interstate or passing someone. So far the gas mileage has been just under thirty mpg, a 100% increase over my previous vehicle. Finally, the trunk is HUGE for a compact. Plenty of room for a dead body! Overall I'm very happy with my Super Sonic!

I bought this car in late 2016 as a certified preowned vehicle. What I love most about this car is its incredible gas mileage and ability to get around. I don't have to spend nearly as much money on gas as previous vehicles I've owned. The only complaint I have about my 2015 Chevrolet Sonic LT is that it's extremely light. It's a little harder to manage in high winds and slides around a lot on super snowy road conditions.
