Just Bought the last 13 hatchback on our lot! Got a Great deal on it so I thought I would give the sonic a try! So Far So Good! Fun little Car. My other Vehicle's are a Hummer H2 and Tahoe.

I work at a Chevy Dealership as an Inventory Manager... So if there is anything I can do to help... Just let me know

yeah, find out about any intake Chevy is supposed to have for the Sonic. I've seen on in their catalog, but no actual real world info.

And welcome to the site!!!

PM Me your Vin # and I will check it out on monday for you! The Vin Insures that our Parts Department is looking for the right part for the right car! I entered mine in the system to get the Cruise control and Remote Start for my super stripped down Sonic.

Post #6 Better make it topical... The 1.8 makes 138 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque.

 

[Timmy1909]

Post #7 The 1.4-liter turbocharged Engine also produces 138 hp, but more importantly, 148 lb-ft of torque!

Post #10 My Hummer h2 dose NOT get 6 miles to the gallon like everyone I meet at the gas station thinks it should... to keep this sonic related... my First tank of gas in my new sonic gave me a hand calculated 33.1 MPG!

 

[Natesriv]

I average 32

 

[Timmy1909]

I drove mine like a girl for the first few days... Most of the driving I did was from 55 to 60...
That being said... when I test drove the Volt for 2 weeks I averaged 114 mpg... that was due to the cold weather kicking the generator on. with warmer weather I would not have used any gas at all. Loved that car... but I like the sonics price better!

Post 7: the auto transmission is weird but I'm digging it... 1.8 btw

After a second or two in the same gear the car's torque kicks in. Has a smooth sporty kick. Hard to explain. The 1.4 prob kicks in quicker. I am so glad I'm out of the Cobalt. Omg what a horror show. Minus the engine... that motor was good.
