Hello!!!

[samsonic]

Name is Sam. I'm in Denver, CO area. I just bought a 2013 Sonic this weekend for commuting and general driving. I also have a 2001 Land Rover (12mpg!!!) that I used to commute with. The Rover has given me a few headaches overr the years and I have had great support from the Rover community forums so I figured I would join a Sonic forum for general help as well. Hopefully I won't need any anytime soon

Put about 130 miles on it since Saturday (hovering around 31mpg) and have had a blast so far. Who knew great mileage could be so much fun!

2013 Sonic LT - Inferno Orange
1.4L Turbo, 6 spd manual
Mylink radio
EVERYTHING will remain stock.

Cheers!!!

Thanks for the welcomes! and the peer pressure.

Unfortunately, this thing is going to have remain stock as I don't think it has enough room to sleep in...if I start tuning it, my wife will make sure I test that theory.

Eric - you sure you want pics? It IS Inferno Orange

That depends on if you got a sedan or a hatch, I could sleep in the trunk of my sedan if need be lol.

 

[samsonic]

Nothing special...just your standard Orange hatch

 

[$ub$onic]

Just like mine

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

well you could always try to sneak in the tune without the old lady finding it, $300 for the tune (during the sale till the end of the month) and only about 30 min to install it, have power mode set to CC on and I doubt she'll ever find out!

Haha nice, we get all of our vehicles from Johnsons. The GM Matt Boone is a good friend of the family.

Nice. Yeah, they seemed like a reasonable dealership. They messed up when they gave me some pricing info and were willing to work with me to make it right...ended up getting it for around $16,300 with some oil changes thrown in...think I got a decent deal (?)
