    Passenger side engine mount bolt broken

    When installing an aftermarket intake on my 2017 RS I had to remove two bolts on the passenger side engine mount. Top one (green checked 1) came off fine, bottom one (highlighted 2) gave me trouble, so I put some PB blaster and use a breaker bar and I accidentally broke the screw it was on...

    What to look into

    Sounds like a clutch especially if it is an original 2012 clutch. Of course, I would get a trusted mechanic's opinion first. Here's an option sold by ZZP: https://zzperformance.com/collections/sonic-cruze/products/gm-performance-clutch-kit?_pos=7&_fid=212d9c20c&_ss=c Note: Fri at 12AM ZZP will...

    Massive Oil Leak after Turbo replacement

    Just replaced my turbo on my Sonic 1.4L, the OEM oil drainpipe is a POS. When I removed it, the plastic nozzle broke off in the iron block. I had to pull it out with a pick. I replaced it with the Dorman one with the metal nozzle. Installation was a pain though, we had to push it in with a...

    Any advice? Jerking at low rpms, intermittent loss of power on accelerating, no power past 4th gear...

    Could be a ton of things, if it's still drivable take it to an auto parts store they will usually do a free scan on you ecu to see if the car is reporting any trouble codes. Take it to a trusted mechanic for a full diagnostic check if the auto parts stores come up empty.

    Throttle/jolt when slowing down/braking

    Sounds like a downshift from an aging automatic transmission. Don't take my word cause I'm not a mechanic. Also, because I have a manual and I coast in neutral and rev match gears. Maybe look into getting this lower trans mount...

    Update from ZZP: "Unfortunately, it is difficult to give solid ETA for products right now due to everything going on. Portions of the kits are on hold due to small component companies not being able to supply us, supply chains, or powdercoating being backed up, etc. We are hoping the product...

    Turning a Sonic into a "Electric Vehicle" I wonder if it could be done?

    Isn't the bolt EV just an electric sonic? It pretty much took over the Sonic's spot in Chevys model lineup.

    2020 Chevy Sonic 1.4L Turbo LS for sale, Heavily modded, well maintained

    Miles? Car prices are still inflated in the used dealer market. Not sure on the private market though. I think its a safe bet to add on the price of the mods and tune if you are selling privately. Might be hard to find a buyer for that though. Why are you pricing this out? You've obviously...

    Possible New Owner...

    I'm 6'3" 280lbs and my 2015 Sonic LT Hatchback fit me fine. I would say they have pretty average reliability a few weak points in the engine like most cars do. Pretty sure the Cruze and Sonic share the same engine so you might want to look further into that.
