- Start date
2014 RS Hatch, Dragon Green Metallic, Manual Transmission and Sunroof. Listed for $22,500 and talked em down to $18,250 at Sutliff Chevrolet on 10/24/14.
SO happy with this car, I've got it as my daily driver and a Saturn Sky Redline with almost 400RWHP as my fun car lol.
Gonna aim for close to 200FWHP in the sonic over time, but still want to keep it as a comfortable cruiser, i've already lined up the mod list.

Purchased a 2014 LT, Hatch, in September. They could not find an LTZ anywhere in SoCal. The car came with Automatic trans, 1.4L turbo, Sunroof, Mylink and 35% tinted windows and 3m chip protection. Got the car for $18,314 out the door, tax license and the extended warranty to 6yrs/60,000mi. Bought it to be our new RV tow car.
The Sonic has become...my daily driver. Added the Trifecta tune day 8 of ownership. Wifey is still drives our Beemer...but I love this little car. I can get 42 mpg....but why, with gas at $3.35 a gallon right now for premium, I can get 35 mpg...and still enjoy driving.

2013 Sonic LTZ Turbo
Inferno Orange
6 speed automatic with manual mode
Heated black leather seats
Aluminium 17" black wheels
Black spoiler
Sunroof
Purchased from Wedekind dealership in Schenectady, NY. Put it on a trailer and drove it all the way back to Eau Claire, WI.
The original owner definitely went all out and purchased plenty of the add-ons from Chevrolet. It even has a cargo net in the back (which is a pain, so I typically don't use it)

Wow, over 2000 miles for a 2013 Sonic! Well done sir. Must have been a heck of a deal! I paid $13K for a 2014 LTZ about 4 weeks ago from a local dealer near me. Miles were ultra low and it was dealer owned. Don't know why anyone would pay $20-21K for a car that depreciates so quickly.

2015 Sonic LT Hatchback 1.8/AT in Mocha Bronze. I got the connectivity package, Wheel and Fog lamp Package,and the Chevy Mylink system.
I needed a car to replace my sad sad sad worn out 2000 Hyundia Accent that had 149,000 miles and was eating it's 5 speed down to just a 2 speed, 1st and 4th. So I rolled in to the dealer and told them I needed something good on gas. They showed me a Cruze, and right next to it was this Mocha Bronze Sonic. I told them run the numbers and drove the Hedgehog home. I have had it 4 weeks and have racked up 2700 miles already. I drove off the lot with 24 miles on the clock. The car is great, I just wish they would have had a manual on the lot, but with all the freeway driving I do, it doesn't matter THAT much. This car will not remain stock for long.

Grey 2014 Sonic LTZ 1.4L turbo, automatic with manual mode, bought in early Decemeber in Northeast Ohio... Bought it for $12,995... Wanted a Ford Fiesta ST, but with summer only tires in Ohio... it just does not work... also I could not find one for the right price and wife wanted automatic...
2012
LT
Inferno Metallic Orange
Sonic Sedan
1.8L
automatic transmission
Cruise + Connectivity Package
17" wheels and fog lamps package
Been driving it for about 2.5 years since I got it with around 300 miles originally (as the car was driven to my dealer) and now have about 43500 on it.
Have had the transmission turbine recall corrected, had them replace my radio to get my Bluetooth connectivity to work for both sides of my car, and had them correct the driver seat which had an internal part 'snap' of some kind all under the original warranty.
Just had to take it in for the oil pressure sensor not working, and joined up here to find out more on the possible 'recall' from another user in Canada on this issue.
I love the car, it is my first 'brand new' car, of the 5 I have driven/owned.

2015 Sonic LT Turbo
6 speed manual
Active safety, My Link and premium cloth seats.
Its got almost 1000 miles on it. I'm averaging about 33 mpg, with primarily city driving on it. I put new wheels and tires on at about 500 miles. It rides a little more firm, but still rides well. I originally had 15's, and upgraded to 17's.

Well lets see 2015 Sonic sedan LS base and i mean no options on this car 1.8L with 5speed in Black Granite Metallic which i have to say is a nice color. Technically im the second owner. The PO only put 800 miles till he traded it but i got for only 10.5 so that was worth it. I bought it as an eco car sence im going back to school so probably wont mod this one much. So far just tinted the windows and im working on adding cruise control.

Just bought a 2012 sonic ltz sedan.white ,sporty 17inch wheels.It's got 70,000 miles on it.'I know,I know'quite a few miles for a 2012.But is obviously has been well taken car of because it looks new and drives like a new one!Bad thing is that me and my wife bought it for our daughter and she is almost 16 and find myself wanting to do this mod or that mod to customize it the way iI would like it.I feel so guilty because it is my daughters car and not mine but I can't help it because it is a really sporty car and I can see so much potential.we got the windows tinted ,at least we all wanted that.But she wants pink pinstriping!Guess I will have to bite my toung on that one.I would think black metallic would look good on the white.I guess it is hers and I need to just sit back and let her do with it as she wants,as long as takes good care of it!That is the main thing that is important to me!!

A new one
2015 summit white sedan LT with 1.4 turbo. I have a long but fairly easy commute so wanted good gas mileage. First Chevy I have owned.
Track a heavily modified Miata so no need to for mods.
