    Goodbye Sonic - Sorry to do this to you

    Hey Folks, As many of you who read the MPG forum know, the main reason I bought my Sonic was to save fuel. If fact, I only bought the Sonic after a Google search brought me to this lovely forum when I was searching for "Real world Sonic MPG". Figured the 51 Imperial MPG highway (42 US MPG) on...

    Recall on front Stabilizer Shaft Links

    Went to the dealership for a service this weekend, and wanted them to check a clunk in the front end. It sounded almost like a loose strut. The service writer said he had recently seen a "recall" on this and wondered if I had received a notice. I assured him I had not. Regardless, they were...

    Who Killed the Electric Car?

    Just watched this documentary last night on Netflix. Not a conspiracy theorist, but money sure does make the world go round, doesn't it? Anyone else see this? Honestly, if I had watched this before going car shopping, I may have very well skipped visiting the GM dealer.

    Honda vs. GM - How times have changed

    As I contemplate the fact that I just bought a Sonic, something occured to me. One of the Sonic's chief rivals for purchase was a heavily discounted 2012 Civic. Over the five years of financing, the Civic was more, but the Sonic was also heavily discounted. If I was buying a 2013 Sonic, the...

    Good day from Canada, eh?

    Hi all, In researching whether to buy a Sonic or not, I was researching "true" mileage for the vehicle, not EPA or manufacturer. That brought me here! And of course, after seeing the hatch model in Inferno Orange, trying out the logical and roomy driver's area (word changed from the normal...
