I got a Sonic about a month ago, and am enjoying it. It's a Sonic Sedan LTZ 1.4 Turbo, with an automatic.

To be honest, it was a bit of a downgrade in some ways, but an upgrade in others. My last car was a 2010 Camaro SS, and I loved that car. However, because of health issues I can't really drive a clutch anymore on a daily basis, so I had to trade that car in. Though this car will never compare to the Camaro as far as performance & handling, it's peppy and gets great gas milage. The handling is also pretty tight with the LTZ package.

Though I had looked in Autotrader & Cars.com...I basically went in knowing exactly what I wanted as far as color & trim package...which they didn't have in stock. They managed to find exactly what I wanted from another dealer about 30 miles away that wasn't listed yet.

Overall, I like the car, especially the milage. Was getting 42mpg the first time I took it on the highway for a longer run. Combined, it's been about 28mpg. Compare that to the 14mpg I was getting before (with premium), and so I enjoy paying less each month for gas by a large margin. Not that the 14mpg wasn't worth it

It's the way it came

I think TBM is a fairly new color for Chevy. I know that the Camaros used to have Aqua Blue Metallic and Imperial Blue Metallic, but both of those colors were discontinued. Camaro hasn't officially announced what the next blue for the Camaro will be...but chances are it will be the BTM.

It's a nice color, though I think if I had a choice I still like the IBM a little better just because it's more subtle. At night, IBM looks black, which is pretty cool.

Hi Steve Dallas,

Hope you're feeling well and enjoying your new Sonic these days! The pics look awesome! The Blue Topaz is my favorite, nice choice! Thanks for the feedback and being a Chevy Customer!

You must have taken those pictures in REALLY bright sunlight.

My brother recently bought the TBM Cruze and it's very dark. Every Sonic I've seen is also a dark blue, yours looks very bright.

Well, it was a rare sunny day here in Seattle...but compared to the Imperial Blue Metallic that was my last cars color...this is a much lighter blue. Definately darker and deeper blue than the Aqua Blue Metallic's I've seen though.

Here's a couple of pics of IBM & ABM together.
