    Front Air Dam Deflector Valance replacement?

    Hi again, different question now. Hopefully this is the correct spot to ask. My 2012 LTZ needs a new front air dam deflector valance due to me not paying enough attention when parking. Seems it's just high enough to catch on curbs, but low enough to catch on steep angled driveways. :mad...

    Another heated seat issue question....

    Hi all, been a while since I posted here! I have a 2012 Sonic LTZ with about 60K miles on it and I'm having the same problem many are having where the heated seat (passenger side) will shut off after 30 seconds without warming up. The dealership said (after a $100 diagnostic fee) that it...

    Brightened somebody's day....

    So, the wife and I are coming out of the grocery store and I spot an IOM Sedan parked in the loading zone where people can load their groceries near the door. I said to myself that if they are still there when we get done loading our stuff up, I'm going to swing by them and say hello. So, we...

    Playlists from USB drives?

    The manual says that you can use playlists with USB drives, but I don't seem to be able to get that to work. I've been using mp3 players for oh, I don't know, 12 years, and am pretty familiar with m3u playlists, but it doesn't seem to see them. Anyone else tried this yet?

    Picked up my 1.4l Turbo Automatic today!

    :banana: After 6 month of waiting to even be able to ORDER it, and another agonizing month waiting for it to be built, I finally got it today! Inferno Orange, 1.4l Turbo Automatic LTZ hatch with sunroof. Possibly the first in town, certainly the first they had sold. Took about an hour and a...

    iPod Vs USB thumb drive?

    I'm still a couple of weeks out on getting mine :( but I'd like to hear opinions about the difference between connecting an iPod versus just using a USB thumb drive. How are they different exactly? Is one faster over the other for things like searching tracks? I know the USB drive has a 2500...

    Stupid headlight question!

    What are those illuminated rings on the headlights called, and how can I get them on my Sonic?! It looks like something out of Tron!

    Videos of the sound system in action?

    Any of you guys with the connectivity package feel like putting a demo video together? I'm really curious to see it in action, especially the iPod connectivity. I'd like to see how playlists and song selection work, as well as what the display shows. Bluetooth calling demo would be cool too! :)

    1.4 Turbo Automatic available now

    Just got a call from my local sales guy and he said that according to what he was told at an official event last week that the Turbo Automatic will be available "after January." I realize that's a little vague, after all July is after January too, but I'm trying to be optimistic here...

    Uhg, help me decide, 1.8 Auto now or wait for 1.4T Auto

    Either way, we are getting a 5-Door hatch LTZ automatic, but the decision is basically when. I'm ready to buy right now, and if the 1.4 were available, I would probably just get it. Since it's not, I need to decide. Is there a release date yet for the 1.4 auto? How much more would it be vs...

    Silver Sonic LT Sedan spotted in Lansing, MI

    Just happen to be driving by Bud Kouts Chevy on Michigan Ave in Lansing and spotted my first meatspace Sonic. Funny thing was that it was parked over on the side with the "Pre-owned" cars. I've obviously seen a lot of pics, but I was wondering if I would recognise my first one when I saw it...

    Power outlets/sockets?

    The manual is a little vague, how many power outlets are there? Is it really just the one by the shifter? Is that shared with the lighter? If that's the case, it's a little disappointing. I've gotten used to my PT having THREE (1 power in the cargo area, 1 power and one lighter up front) and...

    Advantages of pre-ordering?

    Hello all, first post! Question is, what are the advantages or preordering now vs waiting for the Sonic to come out? I'm assuming that you might get it quicker, or have a better chance anyway. Would there be any advantage or disadvantage in pricing? What happens if you decide you don't...
