2016 Sonic Order - Trouble with options

[sharp21]

I really like the Sonic and am pricing a build online, but the options are all over the board.

When I built an LT with 1.4L, 6MT, I can order the Stage I tune, but not wheels, stereo, floormats (!), fog lights, or anything else without switching to the 1.8L.

So I try to build an RS but it doesn't even have the option for Stage I.

Also can't find any special edition packages like Dusk.

The LT can be built for under $20k, which seems alright. Only trouble there is the Fiesta ST, which is a riot to drive, gets pretty close in price...

i personally wouldn't go with the GM "stage 1" upgrade anyways, its way overpriced and only yields pathetic gains at best. if you want RS but more power, get the rs and go with EFI Live tuning through Jerry @ bad news racing. factory extra options are stupidly over priced and there are much better options for less money available out there in the aftermarket. Only reason i could understand going with factory options is to maintain warranty, which is a joke anyways. apparently i voided my warranty when i did my own oil change. was gonna be making a cross country drive and oil life was down to 2% and they said they couldn't schedule me until the following week... /rant lol

Good points, thanks.

I'm worried about warranty and emissions testing. I really like the Sonic and could afford to build a new one spec'd out how I want it, so it's frustrating that many of the options are only available with the 1.8L.
