Took some time to run through the newest Trifecta Tune on our 1.4L Sonic. Being an automatic, I wasn't expecting much....Surprised! The full process is in my video review along with a how to, 0ish-60ish runs, fuel mileage and everything else. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks...

This is a product review we just did, and in all honesty found the company great to work with. I always thought these were neat, but pricey.. Either way, I wanted to show them up close with some detailed shots and video, just in case somebody was interested but on the fence. Very cool stuff...

Just installed a Husky Shield paint protection system the other day. Not sure if they offer them on Sonics, but it is a pretty clever kit you can do at your own house. Basically a clear bra, felt like I was installing a massive screen protector. Husky Liners Husky Shield Hoagies Garage

Anybody out there track their Sonic? I've seen them at the track before, but not very often. Nelson Ledges is a fun track that is a great deal. I spent the day in a Z06 there, and figured I'd offer up my commentary on the vehicle and the day. Hope you enjoy and maybe we'll see you out there...

We have the ZZP setup in our garage and did an entire walk through installation on the kit. Very easy to do and really simple. If you want to learn how to install it yourself, the link is below. I also give my opinions on the setup with a test drive so you can hear what it sounds like...

We had on Optima charger in the garage all winter and currently, running a long term test. Optima stuff is usually more expensive, and this is the case with this unit as well. Some trick features though you won't find on other chargers. Hope you enjoy! Optima Chargers Digital 1200 ? Hoagies...

We just ran this guy through all of our tests. If you are in the market for an OBD Scanner, Code Reader, or whatever you want to call them - Check this one out as I'm sure it has come across as an option for you. Vgate iCar Hoagies Garage

Got my hands on one of these handy little guys for the Sonic. It was in need of a major cleaning inside and also a freshening up. This air freshening system from Meguiar's seemed to handle the job. Full review is on our site, enjoy! Meguiar's Whole Car Air Re-Fresher ? Hoagies Garage

Ever hear of the Mojio? We didn't either... Interesting add on that we will be running tests on over the next few months and reporting our findings. OBD add-on's seem to be a big thing that is up and coming. The Camaro will be sporting it this Summer to see if it's something useful, fun or just...

If anybody is a fan of record, high speed runs on the highway, this film is pretty solid. We had a chance to watch 32 Hours 7 Minutes and wrote our take on it. Anytime I'm doing that drive time calculation for a vacation or anything, I always wonder what would happen if there was no speed...

Latest car in our garage was the '15 Buick Regal GS AWD. I wasn't too excited about driving a Buick, but after spending time in this vehicle, we became believers in what Buick has become. Hope you enjoy the story! This is not the Grand National ? Hoagies Garage

So I spotted this guy while driving around. A Maserati Quattroporte for $22k, which is $80,000 off the original price when new. Seems too good to be true doesn't it? Well, you get what you pay for. An interesting and somewhat scary test drive followed. Hope you enjoy! Test Driving A Used...

We did a Holiday Gift Guide last year and wanted to continue the tradition for 2014. Ten ideas that would be perfect for almost any gearhead or car nut. If you have a great idea that didn't make it to the list, comment or post. What is #1 on your list this year? Sonic Parts? Garage items...

We did a review on the Optima Red Top a few weeks back and just posted the story. This review/writeup was not on a Sonic, but it still gives you some facts on why an Optima is a great product and also some quirks I've found out over the years of owning them. Hope you enjoy! JT Optima Redtop...

We have our Sonic LTZ Long Term Tester in the garage, but in the meantime got to drive the MX-5. Not gonna lie, expected a lot more out of this thing. I feel like a slightly modded RS would easily run with this guy. Thoughts on the MX-5 and our story? Thanks! Hoagies Garage

I run a small automotive review site and we were able to test out some of the Husky Floor Liners in our long term Sonic Tester. Not sure if anybody else is running these, but they seemed to be built well and fit our LTZ very nicely. Here is a link to the story if you would like to read our...

I have an LTZ with the front plate mount installed from the factory. What does it take to remove the lower grille section? I can see the plate mount is riveted in, but I was wondering if it would be simple just to buy a new/unriveted lower grille and simply replace the one I have now. No...

Before I start or ask for answers, I am planning to visit the dealership in the next week. Just got our Sonic LTZ 1.4L Turbo last week though, only have about 200 miles on it. Check engine light is already on... I called onstar for the fun of it, they said something with emissions system. I...

I was curious if all sonic seats are interchangeable. I am looking to upgrade to leather from and LTZ or RS even. Just making sure they all share the same bolt layout, mounting, etc. Thank you for your help. JT
