From cruze to sonic

[spacedout]

I previously owned a 2012 cruze 1LT and at 95,000 miles decided to trade for a left over 2015 sonic LTZ hatchback. I should mention I like the utility of the hatchback, but think its ugly and only bought it because it was a good deal. I much prefer the look of the sedan.

I've already added 35% 3M tint all around, weathertech vent visors and floormats and added sylvania xtravision low beams,

I've removed the lower second floor cover(the one over the spare tire) so I can have even more camping gear hidden beneath the top trunk floor. I also plan a few future mods. Hard wire my GPS and mount its mount somewhere. Not sure what GM was thinking with no second power outlet.

Things I find annoying about the sonic, The washer sprayer pattern, from the looks of things I can swap to the cruze style one. I also HATE the horn, but the cruze dual tone seems plug and play.

I'm averaging 35mpg with the sonic so far, averaged 35.7MPG with my cruze. I think over time though I will surpass my cruze MPG numbers. This 2015 engine runs 1000% better on regular 87octane fuel, my 2012 needed premium to run correctly.

To chime in, the Cruze spray nozzles do fit.

hmmm you can aim the nozzles BTW... put a pin in the hole of one of the three and you'll see they swivel.
Having said that, I'd still prefer a misty stream...

Have to google the Cruze nozzles.

Welcome to the site!

A second plug would be nice. Probably should just make them usb though.

The 2012 1.4T has a noticeably more aggressive timing map than the newer ones, based on what I've read. Could be why the new car runs better on 87 than the old one, fwiw.

Welcome

Thank you! Will probably look into finding the correct part number for the cruze nozzle this week.

I may be able to aim the sonic ones, but they use 2-4X the amount of fluid as the other style.

PART NUMBER: 95226510

Same left and right.

Just be careful pulling the hood insulator so you don't break any retainers.

Thanks.
If they are an exact fit why wouldn't GM use the same part in all cars on such a trivial thing to save money?

We ask ourselves the same thing in parts and the shop all the time.
