I searched for my first car for a good 5-6 months. I was looking at used ones from Saturn Ions to Pontiac Solstices. My parents and I figured out that people want way too much for used cars that they've beaten up. After we learned this, we started looking for Sonics. It's close to impossible to get a hatchback 1.4T with a M6. Totally worth it. My car stickered for $18,XXX with the options being hatchback, LT, 1.4T, M6, Mylink, and the Black which costs extra. I STRONGLY suggest the 1.4T. It gets better gas mileage, has more torque, is more powerful, and there seems to be less problems with it. The downsides of getting the 1.4 is that you have to go up to an LT and it's hard to find.

I'm averaging 28.6 MPG with almost exclusively city miles. I also drive it kinda hard. It's a fun LITTLE car. Going from a Camaro, you might not like the size.

I suggest the Hatchback, because I think it looks better, but that's an opinion. It's also more expensive than the sedan.
