    Factory Amp? Metra dash kit wiring harness question

    I have a 2012 sonic LT with the bluetooth, usb, 6 speakers, etc... Does this radio come with a factory amp? The Metra wiring kit instructions differ depending on if the car is amplified and I am not sure if they are referring to a factory amp or aftermarket amps. They have resistors between each...

    Maintenance care prices...

    Information geared towards 1.4t/6mt. I have noticed that some of the owners manuals vary depending on the year of the sonic. For instance, for my 2012, it does not mention changing the transmission fluid in the 6mt and the spark plugs are over 100k. In the 2014 manual, in severe driving...

    name this sound

    A video on youtube that sounds like my car. Don't remember having this sound when new, but then again I never paid attention and rarely have the radio off. Happens at idle. Keeps the same frequency with revving and it usually inaudible above 1500rpm. Car runs good, no codes...

    Sonic's Value Over Time

    I hit 50,000 miles today and decided to check KBB. Anyone else check the trade in values lately? My 2012 is fetching $8700 today. And you know the dealer would offer less. Dealer value is mid $12,000. Gives me a little mental boost as I'm cruising around in a $8700 car with 50,000 miles of...

    Ultragauge data

    anyone else notice a difference in the RPMs between the ultra gauge and the cars tachometer? I start to notice a significant difference for anything above 1500. The car says 1500 but my ultra gauge says 17-1800. While cruising at 65mph, my car says 17-1800, the ultra gauge says 20-2100.

    Anyone have any pictures of their road bikes in the back of their hatch? Preferably with both tires off. Looking at trading in the sedan for the hatch to avoid leaving my bike in the elements on long trips.

    Valve cover cracked. 1.4t 25k miles

    Just wanted to give y'all a heads up in case this happens to one of you. Car started to idle horrible, surging from 400-800 rpm at idle and lacked enough power that shifting was hard to do( between shifts the RPMs would drop too fast making it hard to shift smooth). Brought it in, threw a code...

    Crazy highway MPG...

I was getting about 42 around town and 59 on the highway, with shifting at 1500 rpms, but now Im driving 'normal' with shifts around 2k rpm and im averaging about...

    New TX Member

    Just got my Sonic LT with the 1.4L engine upgrade. Ive had it for about 2 weeks now, enjoy the car a lot. Traded in my fullsize truck so it's taking a while getting used to driving something so small. Overall I like the car. It is fast enough while getting on the highways, and I'm getting some...
