Hello there!

Hello Sonic owners!

I'm 30 years old, from Vienna (Austria) and I'm a Sonic owner since September '12. My Sonic is a 1.2 5MT LT model in carbon flash metallic.

Why did I choose the Sonic? Well, I'm living in a city with 1.8 million people and lots of traffic, so having a small car has definitely its advantages. As I really liked the exterior and interior design, the fact that it offers lots of space for a small car and because of its standard specs, the decision was quite easy - until now, I made a little more than 7.000 km (~ 4.500 miles) with the car and I really like it. I wanted to talk with other owners about their experiences, modifications, etc. and therefore was looking for a Sonic forum. I found SOF yesterday and already read many threads here and it seems I really like this place. :banana:

So, here's a picture of my car:

Another thing I like is also car-related: I'm really into automotive photography. If you are interested, check out my website carshots.at

See you!

Welcome, nice looking car. What kind of gas mileage do you get with the 1.2?

Welcome, nice looking car. What kind of gas mileage do you get with the 1.2?

Thanks! Concerning the mileage: Not as much as I expected and that's probably the only negative thing about the car. In the city (most of the time stop-and-go) it consumes ~ 8 liters per 100 km, which should be ~ 30 mpg. On the motorway (constant 75 miles/hour) it's 37 mpg.

if you slow down to 65 MPH you'll see a motorway MPG increase. also, could you snap a shot of your engine bay?

I know, small differences can have a rather big impact. No problem, of course I can take a picture of my engine bay ... quite sure I can make it tomorrow!

Hello Vanessa! Thank you very much for your welcome as well as your assistance! Very nice that you already provided me with the contact details of the GM office in my hometown. Until now, I am really satisfied with my dealer and haven't had any real problems with the car. Also thanks everybody else for welcoming me to the forum!

Hello carshots,
I enjoyed your car photos; very nice work.
I have a question about the language spoken in Vienna. Is German the most common language? Do you speak both English and maybe German?

BTW, I only live about 7,754 kilometers or 4,816 miles from Vienna Austria.

Hey Eric, here's a quick shot of my engine bay. Lots of space there ...

Hey Papasonic! Thanks, always a pleasure to hear people like my pictures. Regarding the language: The only official language in Austria is German, but you start learning English in grade school. Therefore, my mother tongue is German, but I think I get along quite well with English too.

BTW, I only live about 7,754 kilometers or 4,816 miles from Vienna Austria.

Only a stone's throw away, huh? :banana:
