Right, I'd rather modify the car to suit my wants than buy a car that addresses some of them for a much higher price.
I also have no interest in leather, heated seats, or the factory 17s. I'll go aftermarket if I want different wheels. I do like the front bumper. It's a bit more aggressive looking than the regular models.

Agreed, only thing appealing on the RS is the exhuast tip, diffuser, front fascia (minus fogs), spoiler, dash, seats, and instrument cluster oh and drums.
None of those are needs and the added weight, shorter gearing, and much higher MSRP make those unappealing in my opinion. I don't have anything agianst someone buying an RS, just not for me.
LT sounds perfect for you
Also for upgrades is the TTR clutch/pressure plate as well as any stage of clutch masters clutch and/or flywheel (I believe it has recently been determined cruze/sonic use same clutch. Their 1st one was made for a cruze, swordsmith just got one for the sonic)
Vermount Tuners also has or is working on a turbo upgrade

Of course, not much she can say when I make my own mortgage payment.
I'm fairly excited, I found some wheels that remind me of some of my all time favorites.
Work Emotion CR Kai knockoffs in 5x105.
17x7.5 ET35 I'm hoping that 7.5 ET35 should work, I'll have to do some looking at some other's setups and get a feel of what offset range I need to be dealing with on a 7.5.

I like those quite a bit, Nice find
So...
I walked into the Chevy dealer today to look again, and see what they had.
4 hours later, I own a 2013 Sonic LT Sedan, 1.4T manual with MyLink.
Cyber Gray with the Dark Pewter interior. I take delivery on Monday when the car arrives from the Dealer Trade.
I opted for the 5 year comprehensive warranty as the cars are still too new to know if things will start failing within that time period, and well I don't want to have to fix everything again.
Also, GM Friends & Family discount is awesome. That made the deal for me after the dealer tried to give me a price with 1k in markup.
It's still sinking in that I just bought a brand new car.opcorn:

Congrats!

Congrats Dustin! I've had my Cyber Gray 1.4T hatch for about a week now and am amazed every time I drive it at how nice these cars are for the price. I too opted for the extended warranty. I think of it as cheap insurance. Speaking of cheap, I was shocked at how reasonably priced it was. I got the GM "Major Guard" Protection plan. I got 100,000 mile coverage with zero deductible for about what I pay for one year of car insurance.
You mentioned wanting fog lights in an earlier post. The OEM kit is around $200 from your Chevy dealer parts counter. Fair price, in my opinion.
