These are kinda noisy engines to begin with, lots of ticking, but mine seems to have begun making a more pronounced ratcheting noise as the RPM drops. You only notice it if you rev it in neutral and more so with the door or window open, but it's there - uploaded this video to youtube. Listen to...

I've got a 2012 1.4T - noticed maybe a couple weeks ago that I was having a hard time getting down into 2nd while pulling into the driveway (normally I pull it down into 2nd to slow down, then take the hard corner up the driveway)... Given 2nd gear on these cars is kinda a bear didn't think much...

Hi, I've got a 2012 with the 1.4T, has 92K on it. Was good up until now (no breakdowns, just oil changes and topping off fluids), however yesterday I noticed a bumping sensation at idle (like you were sitting on a bridge and trucks were going by), which is not due to the AC.. Opening in the...

I got a 2012 LTZ w/ the manual & 1.4T; I ordered it back when they were having trouble keeping up with demand. Overall I do like the car - it's fun to drive and averages 37 MPG, without going easy on it. Quality wise had a defective window switch, that's it... Just recently noticed an oil...

Hi, I'm at around 34K on my 1.4T LTZ 6-speed manual.. Love the car, I beat the piss out of it and still get 36+ MPG haha.. But today I heard the metal indicator on one of the front brake pads scraping on the disk. Haven't even looked at it yet but I'm pretty sure the honeymoon is over. Gonna...

Hi, After changing my oil I noticed the o-ring had fallen out of the plug, ie after I put the plug back in and filled it with oil.. Somehow it's not leaking, hey maybe it doesn't need to be there, but I'd like to pull the bolt out and put the o-ring back in, without dumping a new fill of...

Just for conversation sake, why isn't anyone talking NOS yet? Haven't seen any kits out there for it; eventually it seems to end up available for any model anything. When you are looking for performance & MPG, it's a great way to make neck snapping performance available without affecting day...

Does anyone expect we will see incentives offered on Sonic early in 2012? I assume the way ordering works is that when the car arrives at the dealer you still need to sign-off on any financing/payment when taking delivery, as if the car was on the lot and you showed up that day to buy it?.. I...

Haven't been able to find a 6-spd manual sonic to test drive, did take a Cruze Eco out and was really impressed by the transmission.. Dealer said it's the same. Has anyone driven both and/or can confirm this? Thanks, Jon

Hi, Looking to pickup a Sonic or something similar (consideration into Cruze and Focus, Sonic looks like more bang for the $$ though, plus lighter with same engine as Cruze). Just tired of the gasoline mortgage and looking for inexpensive cool little american car that will get me near the 40...
