I bought a 2019 Chevy Sonic RS Hatchback I knew the mileage wasn’t that great (it’s plenty good enough though) but it had the Apple Car Play and the other goodies I needed. Plus the 1.4 Turbo gives it a fast feel off the line. Car had 29k when I bought it. Here’s what I changed since I...

I’ve used those before for various things. They work pretty good. You can get creative with those. 👍. I don’t believe in not having these things locked up. Even if your just going to the range. You should be able to get to it lawfully but it should be locked up where it can’t get lost or stolen...

LMAO I fell out of my chair reading this. Yeah I’m with these guys on the lock boxes. Last thing you want too is somebody smashing a window taking it. Their are some good solutions on the market today. That can be easily accessed when needed. I think harbor freight sells a good cheap one you can...

So let’s conclude this for now!!!! 2019 Chevy Sonic RS 30k miles Bought from Carvana. 1. Penzoil Platnium (Dexos Approved) 5W-30 2. Fram Ultra Oil Filter 3. All Filters Replaced (Purolater One was $10 on Amazon, Cabin Airfilter the same) 4. Chevy Fitted wiper blades $18 (3 it’s a hatch) 5. 4...

With my report I’ll tell you how the AutoLite Iridium XPs run. I imagine they’ll do just as well if not better. A fresh plug will always beat out a 30,000 mile one. So only time will tell.

Stay tuned for the next update. What does 60,000 miles on a heavy maintenance schedule for $100 bucks do to a 2019 Chevy Sonic RS for gas mileage at 30k which is early. We are about to find out!?!?! Cars to easy and cheap to work on. If this was my BMW or Mini. Hellllll no. Lol. So I’m curious...

Did the plugs!!! Yeah guys I’m right. .025 is exactly .635mm. Chevy wants .6mm to .7mm. That is low enough to be with in spec and allow them to widen with use as they will. A higher voltage or better coil pack you could probably go wider. But I’m calling this. .025 is your gap. I gapped the...

2019 Chevy Sonic RS .6mm to .7mm. Man that’s small. I just learned .028 is considered the high range so I will probably gap to .025 or .026. As gaps open over time and the middle of .6mm to .7mm is exactly .02559. Being in the middle end of the range allows the gap to widen over the service...

That’s probably about right! Reason I bought mine.

This has to be the easiest car I have ever done an oil change on in the history of mankind. I’m not sure why anyone would go to the dealer. 2019 Chevy Sonic RS. LOL everyone on here is talking about jacking up the car. Ummm I never Jacked it up. Just get your self a good quality oil pan that...

Yup for sure easy test to do. Just make sure you don’t start the car go into accessory mode. Let the fuel pump prime for 10 seconds. Then take key out for 1 second. Then do it again. I’d do it 4 times. Then on the 5th time start it. If it fires right up. You need a new fuel pump. But truth be...

There are many causes of hard starting but illustrative ones are a faulty engine coolant temperature switch (sensor), malfunctioning idle air control (IAC) valve, vacuum and EGR leaks, inadequate fuel delivery or pressure (clogged fuel filter, injectors), and contaminated or old gasoline. I...

Yeah the little car for the money impressed me as well. I figured it would have tons of body roll. Lol it definitely handles. That’s why I think Chevy should of bumped it a few categories.

That’s my biggest fear right now. When I totaled my BMW M2 last month I came out good. But when I bought the Sonic I said. Ohhhhhh **** if theirs a market correction I’m upside down fast on this car. Might need gap coverage. The point is it’s gonna drive and it’s gonna be cheap to fix. Chevy...

And All the stuff that went wrong guranteed cheaper then 1 problem on today’s Reliable cars like Honda and Toyota. As well as Today’s luxury cars. Trust me. That’s why I bought a 2019 last month. Needed something Cheap that had features and cheap repair ability. Lol I could fix half the issues...

This all depends. I had a Mini Cooper S that wouldn’t last as long as a Sonic, mainly because the repairs would drown you after high mileage. A BMW M235i that cost $900 for a thermostat since the parts expensive and the labor is insane due to where the parts located. People say the Chevy Sonic...

Hengst vs UFI. GM fucked this up. They used two types. The Hengst will be the most common. It is on my 2019. Check the cap and the metal housing for the logos. I’m guessing they made this change not because UFI was better but their may have been a shortage during production. Mechanics are...

So my BMW M235i and Mini Cooper S both had tunes. But they were faster cars off the lot. Now amazingly these Sonics are cheap to modify. But the gains are less due to what they start with. I probably wouldn’t do a Trifecta Tune personally I think that’s more of a joke. You need data logging. My...

Well coming from a 2016 M235i this was an easy choice? Last month tired after a long day of work I totaled my M235i rear ended someone on the way home from work pushing him into a 3rd car. They all drove off. I had to sit and look at my car. I didn’t get a ticket. But I was obviously at fault...

Now I want to talk about Oil. For a long time BMW was a huge fan of Mobil 1. That changed a long time ago. Bit of a break up back in 2016. Mobil 1 honestly isn’t the best. Yes it’s available everywhere and cheap but it’s not the best. Mini Cooper S also used various plugs over the years. NGK...
