    RS seats

    Are they basically the same bolstering as the normal seats but in leather with an RS logo? Or am I missing something big time? Also, never seen them in person our sat in them

    Aluminum Dead Pedal (Foot rest)

    After realizing there's no dead pedal and reading through Papasonics thread, I decided to make my own dead pedal. However, I wanted mine to be a little fancier than the basic rubber mat. So I went to lowes and got a 6"x18" piece of sheet aluminum for $10, and then I got the same Reese sure step...

    Stock MAP Sensor

    I've noticed a trend on the tuned 1.4T's that I've read about that no one can really push past 22 psi? Is it possible that this is really the limit of the stock MAP sensor? Who has a tuned car and a real mechanical boost gauge?

    Firstorbit's Black Turbo Sedan

    I just got my car just over a week ago and already have some plans for her. Shame on you Sonic owner's forum for helping with my stage 1 wallet weight reduction. :D Here she is as she sat when I got her: Bone stock Custom Plates: And.... I just picked up a set of pristine Chevy Cruze 17"...

    Koni shocks/struts

    Speed Sensitive Power Steering (SSPS) - Adjustable?

    I just learned that the sonic has speed sensitive power steering (SSPS). Does anyone know if it is adjustable at all? I'd like the steering to feel more firm and direct at all speeds, except for maybe highway speeds over 65.

    Custom shift lights?

    Has anyone thought of installing custom LED shift lights in the three blank holes above the cluster on the right? According to the owner's manual, it looks like they don't do anything. They could be green, yellow, and red and light up at different RPMs. Perhaps, green under 5k, yellow 5k-6k...

    Will the Fiesta ST arrival hurt Sonic RS sales?

    At basically the same price point with nearly 60 more HP stock and numerous other upgrades, I can't see there being much of a chance for the Sonic RS once the Fiesta ST drops next year (unless Chevy is planning a Sonic SS or factory power upgrade). I know pricing hasn't been officially...

    Hi everyone. About to pick up a Sonic

    I'm about to pick up a 2012 Sonic 1LT 1.4T 6MT sedan in Black with gray cloth. It is used with only 9600 miles and thre price is $14,535, which seems like a pretty good deal to me. It's kind of a step down for me as I will be getting rid of a 2010 Jetta Wolfsburg Edition 2.0T 6MT with tan...
