    Test Drive: Touch My SONIC Sweetheart!!!

    Test Drove a Sonic Sedan today (Sep 26). Wow!!! This is an Excellent Very Fine Automobile! Drives real nice, lots of low end grunt (1.8L aspirated, non-Turbo engine). Great cornering. Can’t say it is super quiet at 65mph, but it IS quieter than my Cobalt. (Want quiet, then pay a lot more for a...

    Touch My Sonic! GM Engineers to best VW Golf???

    VW Golf is THE car to beat. Hands-down. Golf has, standard, all wheel Disc Brakes. I think Sonic has same on top-of-the-line. IF GM Engineers can come close to Golf performance, they have a winner! Pro Sonic: 1. American made, 2. Less likely to be “keyed” by unemployed UAW members, 3. Service at...

    Turbo vs Naturally Aspirated Engine Debate

    Calling for your expertise! I have never driven a turbo engine car. IF Sonic is offered with heated seats AND a non-turbo engine, I will buy one. However, my hunch is that GM will market the Turbo on the high-end heated seats Sonics. Typical GM marketing ploy: Appeal to the Ignorant Buyer! Get...

    6 Speed Auto Tranny

    This looks good for Chevy Sonic……I am a Detroiter, embedded (or at my senior age, should I say “submerged”?) in the car culture of my city. Yesterday my trusted mechanic told me the rumor that early models of Chevy Cruze had a serious problem with the 6 speed auto tranny. The NEW GM got on top...

    Sonic. Good as Golf?

    This be MacGregor posting from Ann Arbor. Driving a 2005 Cobalt coupe with 130K miles on her. Drives like the day I bought her in May, 2005!
