Hello!

Just joining this forum today... after a recent purchase [10 days ago] of my sonic Hatchback.

I'm used to auto forums, tho. I'm an old-standing member of the Quattroworld forum. And, am looking forward to getting to know folks here.

Welcome!

Welcome to the forum.

BUT

You're gonna have to post some more details, man; that Sonic isn't just a Sonic to us, we want to know:

Sedan or Hatch
LS, LT, LTZ or RS
Auto or Manual
1.8 or 1.4T or... for the non-US members, some other engine
Color
Year
New or used

Then we'll start to get really intrusive asking about your plans, how you want to drive it, whether you plan to mod it, what your mother's maiden name and last four digits of your social are and... what, no, no, we weren't planning to steal your identity these are standard questions I swear.

Plus most important, PICS PICS PICS!

To anyone else, a Sonic is just a Sonic, or more likely its a "what's a Sonic" but here, well, it's hard to find two Sonics alike on this Forum.

OK... Hmmm...

I thought that these details were posted in my required info when I registered... well, with the exception of my Mother's maiden name, my SS#, how long it is, ... Opps, did I just write that?

My new sonic is a:
-- 1.4 Turbo Ecotech engine, w/ 6 speed manual tranny
-- LT version, however I have added a few LTZ options
-- Hatchback!!!
-- Black/Brick interior coloring
-- Door Sill Plates,
-- Fog Lights
-- MyChevy Infoentertainment
-- Body Color Spoiler in White
-- frt and rear splashguards
-- Cargo tray

Once I feel it's broken in, say like yesterday [JK] I plan to drive it like my old Audi 4000. which is to say that I bought this car after roadtesting several American-made cars. I felt that this car was the most like my old 4K in the road-feel dept..... sooo, I'll be driving it with penache... and robust vigor!

No pics available yet here at work... However will post some soon.

Well.. If that's the case, you'll be needing the tune. Well you don't REALLY, but yeah, kinda you do. Yeah.

I'm a spirited driver, and the Sonic is just fine for me plain ole stock.. But she's so much MORE fun now

There are lots and lots of mods done here that will help increase that feeling for you.. I don't know how much you're going to get into them, or how soon.. More people with more mods than me will chime in I'm sure.

Pics of the new boy...

All photos taken in the parking deck at work this am. It's raining here. It's been raining here for days it seems like. We are starting to call "here" as North Rain Forest Carolina....

Anyway, that's why things are yellowed out, due to parking deck lighting. My car is white, really.

Pics of the MPG!

I'm soooo happy with the mileage since I bought the car.

1st shot is taken at a stabilized average x 5 minutes average @76mph/ 6th gear.

2nd Shot at stabilized average x 5 mins @ 71mph / 5th gear.

More interior shots

These are taken at a stoplight, again this am on the way to work.

I was a bit miffed at the new warning indicator of low tire pressure. A visual inspction shows that the tires are all looking good! No obvious lowered PSI a'tall.
