Took the time on the Chevy site to build 2 different Sonics. First one was the LT Manual in Summit White with the only other option being the 1.4L turbo option. Came out to $16050. Searched to see if any were around me and I scored a direct hit on one at the dealer that sponsors us. How lucky? Just have to hope it's still there when I get back. Other build I did was for the LTZ manual just to see what I would be looking at. Opted for the 1.4L turbo again and since it being an LTZ it would have leather, mylink, and nicer rims. Came out to $17760. Not bad (but would have to order it). Basically, if I like the test drive and I can't get them to discount the crap out of it to around $14,000 before taxes, then I'll get the LT. Not really looking for every creature comfort, but if somehow I can talk them down and be able to jump on the LTZ, I'll definitely do it.

I like the Sonic LT with 1.4 turbo as well. I almost bought one, but my wife wanted something bigger. I would still consider one for myself if I hit harder financial times.

Does the HB give you quite a bit of room to haul stuff? And does the front passenger seat fold to give you any more room?
I have a MKX as my DD and have thought about going smaller/cheaper because we really don't need two SUV's but I like to haul my own stuff w/o taking the Flex. |

Thanks - gets tempting since the trade-in value of my '07 MKX is slightly higher than a new 2013 Sonic HB...

The turbo makes a huge difference.

I think the only car the 1.4t comes standard on is the ECO? The rest are 1.8L unless you option for the 1.4t

I looked at a Sonic Rs at the dealer today manual and for a great price didn't test drive it cause id prolly buy it if I did lol wasn't looking to buy was bored and needed something to pass a bit of time. I did like the space in the HB and where to usb was in the top Glove box if gas prices start to creep back near 4+ a gallon I might consider one of these.
