Thought Sonic owners would appreciate this.

Hello all,
New to this forum - obviously...
Been a lurker for awhile.

My wife and I have/had a 2012 Hatch (in signature)

It was her daily driver in Central PA.

I say 'was' because on Friday, on her way home from work, she hit a patch of ice and rolled the car three times! I haven't seen the car personally yet, but as close as I can tell; all the windows are broken, most of the airbags are deployed and all of the sheet metal is damaged. The Trooper didn't cite her, as it was a no-fault accident and he had the road re-salted right away before someone else could crash.

Here's the good part - the important part - the part that Sonic owners can enjoy: She walked away with no scratches and a small bump on her head!

While we are definitely Chevy enthusiasts (see sig.), we both really loved this car and attribute it to her current well being. That said. we are going right out and trying to replace it ASAP with another (almost identical) Sonic. These cars are well made and a credit to American automobile manufacturers!

Glad your wife was unharmed. It must have been a horrific experience, ... I would be shaking for days to come!

Yeah, the Sonic has airbags most everywhere. Better to have them and not need them than ....

Definitely glad to hear that she's ok. One of the top reasons I encouraged my girlfriend to get a sonic, and that I ended up buying one, was its safety ratings. It's good to know that it's there for you when you need it to be.

Wow! That is incredible. You're wife sure has great luck- time to buy a lottery ticket. While driving my pick-up from KY back to Jersey for Thanksgiving I hit ice in PA on Rt 80 not far from the Ohio border. I fish tailed back & forth maybe four times going 45 MPH or so and recovered without even so much as a scratch on the paint. It scared the hell outta me. I'm glad to hear your wife is good.

LOL, no he was talking about all the spam we have been getting lately and there was some on your thread that was reported and deleted advertising Russian Viagra.

So, I finally have an update on our new Sonic! The insurance company covered the 2012 completely, the payoff even covered everything including our cost on the rental! Second, we located a 2014 Hatch in White (in signature) with the fun and sun package. The wife is picking it up on Friday or Saturday and I've set her up with an appointment to go get studded tires right away! The Sonic proved itself to be a safe car, she's felt no ill effects since the accident and we'll both feel better getting her back in one.

She's been driving a rented Nissan? Rogue with an auto and she hates it. She can't wait to use a clutch again - that's my girl!

I wish we still had the option to use studded tires here in Illinois; that privilege was taken away way back in the late 70's for us.

The Mrs picked up the new car on Friday and got it home and into the garage just in time for the snow that fell on Saturday. She spent Sunday running errands in it and learning/setting up the MyLink. She loves it!

*Should be getting the snow tires on Saturday, hopefully no more snow 'till then.
