VW Golf nut now in love with Sonic

[Divinespark]

Hello everyone, bought my new Sonic last week. Been an avid VW guy from many aircooled to many GTI/Golf's but this is my first American car and I gotta say.... I love it!!! I tried to get a Golf but they are just way too expensive. Had no idea this Sonic was out there. I got a great deal on this car and the dealership didn't try to rape me. I was so surprised what came with this car for this price. It's loaded! We also have a new Jetta (wife's car) and it doesn't have hardly anything comparatively, it looks cheaply made and here's the kicker...it cost's a ton more! You get way more bang for your buck going with Chevy. So anyway I guess I gotta get this VW tattoo removed that I got when I was 18.

Welcome. The amercan cars are great and easy to work on. Vw seems to over engineer the stuff they have.

The sonic is a lot like the old golf. Small light nimble and fun to drive

Congrats and welcome to the forum!

The Sonic is a suprising car. GM finally got a small car right and boy is it fun and practical.

Very nice, welcome.

Is it a 1.4 or 1.8?

I also left the Volkswagen scene to purchase my Sonic. Here's a pic of my Rabbit loaded on a trailer heading to it's new owner in Florida.

I liked the Golf a lot too. It was on my list too along with the Fit. It's true the Golf is more expensive, but it's got a much nicer interior, except the cheapy HVAC controls, and it's more peppy. It's kind of like driving an Audi without the price tag. If the Golf had 16" alloy wheels like the Sonic for a reasonable price, I might have gotten one, but to get alloys on the Golf would have pushed me past $20K and I didn't want spend that much. Plus the the Sonic is built in the US of A, which appeals to me.

Nothing too special. 2002 VW Golf TDI. Very stock really, transmission went out and couldn't afford to fix it so off it went!

Mine was on a trailer for transportation to its new owner in Florida (I live in Michigan). Nothing was wrong with the vehicle.
