I'd consider one too....... and they're adding a blue one, if I could just get "HEDGEHOG" as my license plate

Shoot for the 1.4T and you'll have a fuel efficient and surprisingly fun to drive daily driver.

I had one of the CTF Sonics last summer.

Get the 1.4 T. It's worth the extra few bucks for drivability. Pluse with the manual, the Turbo gets the 6 speed where as the 1.8 only gets a 5 speed.

Opt for the LTZ if you can swing it. That will get you the bigger wheels and better chassis.

All in all, it was a pretty pleasant car.

Thinking of a hatch or sedan?

I have been looking all over for a 1.4 1LZ hatch..... seems to be a shortage.

I don't think GM makes a RWD car smaller than the Corvette

And anything can be made to go fast, it just depends on how much money you want to spend. Actually ... you can probably convert them to RWD if you want too.

Chevy had a sea of Sonics at SEMA. I am not a small car guy, but I like the Sonic.

Sonics are awesome and the LTZ with manual and 1.4 turbo very hard to fine anywhere.

Man1acs · 12-17-2011, 05:50 AM

Good info. I would go hatch and get 1.t LTZ probly. Any info on how it dose in all winter, say in NJ? It just looks like a fun little car.
