    Speaker adapters

    I did the same thing on wife's 2015 Equiniox .. . I noticed while doing a "dry fit" that the Scosche adapters would not seal. Plus, I applied an extra layer of foam seal tape all around the speaker.

    Anyone else kissed a deer in their Sonic?

    I never got pictures, but a deer ran into our 2019 ( on a very rainy afternoon ) and slid across the instate lane and hit very low. Nowhere near the damage you sustained. The deer hit the lower bumper fascia, pushed the A/C condenser coil, radiator back into the engine and busted the radiator...

    Ruff idle, blowes a ton of smoke out of exhaust under acceleration

    Why was the head gasket replaced? What was the problem there? Did you loose a lot of coolant due to over heating the engine? Warped head now??? Sounds to me like the head gasket blew again. Possibly wasn't aligned right or sealed correctly. Also, sounds like the original P0171 still may be a...

    Difference between gen 1 and 2 sonic?

    If the part numbers are different for the 2nd Gen, then best to go with that. But most part should be interchangeable except for possible wiring harness concerns. and maybe sensors and modules.

    Help - Roof Molding and Retainer Clip Replacement

    I had this also on one side of my 2017 black roof strip. I used Goop Automotive Adhesive on the clips that was still in there. Only two were loose. I've used this for a number of things including under the hood where heat from the engine gets pretty hot. Just remove any old adhesive from the...

    Codes P0171 and P0442

    Welcome and hope to hear more. Those codes and the purge valve solenoid are common issue alright. And easy 5 minute fix for that many owners can do there selves. The Sonic 1.8L has a few things that are "wear and tear". . . . but for $300 to $400 for ALL of them are pretty low cost maintenance.

    Bang for buck Sonic vs Fiesta ST

    Hey . . . I love our 2017 Sonic hatch as well. . . but for a number of reasons including the 197HP stock on the Festive ST. . . I'd go with that. I have never owned a Ford. . . that's my brothers thing. But the Festy ST. . . . would be a blast and in my opinion if maintenance is kept up will be...

    Mileage

    Similar for our 2017 Sonic hatch. Although, wife drives it 6 miles to and 6 miles back from work so barley gets warmed up. Then MPG is about 26 to 27 depending on the cold winter driving temps. Still . . . it's only maybe one fill up every 2 weeks and still has usually has two bars left. On...

    Please help!!

    I would check the battery by doing a load test. Even then, a weak or intermittent dying battery can cause all sorts of weird issues. If you have or can get a GOOD stout battery charger . . put that on for a few hours. Also, check the battery cable connections for tightness and corrosion ...

    Gas mileage is horrible

    Wow. . have you checked under the car with it running for gasoline leaks? Does it smell from gas outside the car if you leave it running? I assume you have the 1.4L engine. So I'd check for turbo issues, air leaks, etc that might make the engine run rich. If there is a vacuum leak somewhere...

    What the hell is this???

    The Sonic was not made in Korea. They were made in Michigan. Now many of the plastic parts are made in various countries. That said, the design for Sonic was U.S. based and Korea. And many of the engines were made in Europe. . Hungary for instance. To me, this is a benefit because Sonic...
