Sonic Fan from Malaysia

[sonicson]

Hi folks, been reading this forum silently and today i decided to join in as a forumer. I hail from Malaysia and a proud owner of my black Chevy Sonic LTZ 1.4 Sedan which i name her 'ShadowStriker', a Decepticon fembot from Transformers.

This is my first car as I used to be a 'public transport' person before this (yeah, commuter). Being a big fan of Transformers and learnt about the solid backing from GM/Chevy in all the Transformers movies makes it one of my main reason to get her.

My car taken at the mall's car park after a late night cinema with my gf.

Sonic is considered 'rare' over here in Malaysia as most Malaysians are inclined to Japanese and Korean cars. Plus, the previous distributor 'ruined' the reputation of Chevy for their bad customer service making Malaysians tad worried about having them. Other reasons being that is the difficulty to get spare parts as they have to be ordered from designated dealers/garages, not just any third party dealers/garages. what ever the reason is i'm proud to be different and im havin hell of a good ride so far.

Look forward for whole lotta advice and learning from ya'll here Thanks for havin me.

1.4 non turbo? Not an option here but I understand it is common elsewhere in the world. There's been some interest in upgrading the 1.4 to 1.4T by importing the parts from the US, don't think I've seen it done yet though.

The other classic question is did you get the manual or the automatic?

More pics more pics! Get her out in the sunlight! Oh, and pics of the car as well, of course.

yep, non turbo...not much option here in malaysia as you either had a 1.4 sedan or 1.4 hatch, that's all. i got the auto as driving in the city with crazy jams is not so friendly to your legs lol.

will dig up more pics from my cellphone later.
