Mine is in Nightfall Grey. Looks really clean with some dark(ish) tint. Good commuter car, and I appreciate the heated seats when it gets cooler outside. I do wish the hatch opened quicker, but I suppose I’d rather have stiff struts than struts that are too weak to keep the hatch open.
these also come with white wheels, lowered with a sport suspension and exhaust. makes a nice 500 replacement. small, lightweight, good HP with utility .
Definitely expensive when new. I bought one for $18k in my early 20s out of desperation. Lmao no way it’s worth that. Paid less for my used Corolla XSE and it’s way better.
I love this car but what I hate is that they are extremely slow compared to how they look, wish they made it way faster. Don’t get me wrong this car hugs corners extremely well it’s a fun little car but don’t think you will be beating any cars out there..... I forgot to mention that the seats are awesome in this vehicle!!
Very nice review, but sooo many features I would never use. Literally never use. But yet, I'd happily pay for all of them if the RS came with an engine upgrade for some real performance (would happily pay more for the engine upgrade as well obviously) instead of only having sporty looks. And the RS badging is just tacked on with nothing to back it up. Reminds me of when I was a kid. Guys in the neighborhood would buy the base Camaro, then go to junkyards to buy SS badges off of wrecked Chevy cars. Then they'd put those on their base model Camaro. Never thought I'd see the day when Chevrolet itself would pull the same type of cheesy stunt. No engine upgrade? Okay, give me an LS instead with the only available option for that trim level; the 6-speed automatic transmission. All I need, with a minimum of expensive electronic features that are usually the first things to break down and cost the most to have fixed. (Since the engine and transmission are covered under warranty. So ironically better if one of those breaks down than the Push-button Start or the power driver's seat.)
The biggest problem I have with mine is the glossy black plastic that surrounds the infotainment and the door handles (on the interior). I've only had the car for a few months. Knowing that the gloss black won't age well, I've been removing dust with a microfiber cloth... but as time goes on... more and more micro scratches and swirls show up on the gloss black. Don't understand the decision to use so much of it. Surely, Chevrolet has top notch Human Factors people working on their cars, right?
@@stephanle9510 I like my Sonic allot! It's not perfect but I am happy with it for the most part and would recommend it to anyone. I like the color, black rims, the interior design, and futures the Sonic offers. This is the highest end Sonic offered. The Sonic RS Premier.
@@stephanle9510 This is the last year the Sonic is being made so you may have to do some searching. Try going to your dealership and have them do some searching. I would recommend getting the Sonic RS Premier.
Kinda just looks like a bootleg vw golf that was designed to cost least as possible. Wonder how the engine bay looks like...probably as small as the trunk nice lil car tho if your looking for a cheap lil car but not my style.
I break this rule myself. But one should NEVER buy the first year maybe even second year of a new model change til they get any bugs out. Or in my case I should have waited to buy the 2018 versus my 2017. Why ? They updated deck, made bowties blk. But not to get the 2019 or 2020. Why ? Because they delete the push button on rear doors, deleted the premier or LT emblem and turbo emblem on back. So 2018 best of this new model style. Mind you I changed my bowties to blk.
Chevy to many models on offer ? need t to reduce the range of vehicles overhaul on offer ? all to confusing ? Just go for the best selling vehicles and discontinue the rest? Could save the company millions of dollars overnight? and go full steam ahead 🙂 with electric vehicles ☺️ gasoline engine's are going the way of the dodo . The Chevy volt battery car 🚗 is a good example. Of what can be done over the whole thing.
Jest brzydki niczym Terlecki z Polskiego rządu.. 🤣Myślę że poprzednia generacja T 300 była super.. Nadal wygląda swierzo choć premiera była 🤔2011.. To odpowiednik Sonica w Europie 😃

Got the same color but I a small rock hit the grill
Rare to see reviews and videos of the Sonic. Thanks for sharing!
I try to cover everything!
As long as it has cruise control, I’m sold. 😂💪🏾
these also come with white wheels, lowered with a sport suspension and exhaust. makes a nice 500 replacement. small, lightweight, good HP with utility .
I love this car! Very beautiful too. Thanks for the information I’m planning on getting one
Very nice car! No problem.
Yu
This is a nice little car for what it is. I wouldn’t pay more than 15k for it so I hope it’s close to that.
Bill D it’s not. It’ll run you you about 22k with incentives for the premier RS . Kinda expensive!!

Have a 2017 premium rs. Great car. Tuned and modded. Lowered. Runs like a little rocket. Button shifter is best way to drive the automatic.
Nice!

I have the blue sedan model, the heated seats and key to start are my favorite features!
I have a Chevy spark 2017 and thinking about upgrading to a sonic.
Big baller!

One thing I didn't like when I had my Sonic, there is no temp gauge.
Even with a temperature gage you're screwed either way if you're 500 miles from home and the car is overheating.
@@ivanperessini2185 Not really if you shut it down and let it cool off. What kind of logic is that it could just be a cooling fan.
Very nice & this car is no longer going to be in production😳????
No it is not :(
@@ChevyCLE why?

Why the steering wheel bigger than the rims?
I have this exact same car but mine has a sun roof!
How do you like it?

@@joedexter7495 I found one in red but really wanted the orange like yours. Fingers crossed they can find one!! 🤞
I would seriously buy or lease this vehicle- if they keep it.
I really like the Sonic. In my opinion, it is better than the Yaris.
You need to two color those black rims with some orange too.
Do they still make them with timing belts? That's a $1,000 repair every 100,000 miles.
Timing chain on the 1.4
Tenho um 2012/13 aqui em Sao Paulo Brasil. Gostaria muito que a Chevrolet dispinibilizasse esse modelo 2020 aqui no Brasil tmb. Otimo carro.
It's a nice little car. I like it.👍👍
Woo-hoo! Too bad they discontinued the Sonic in Canada. I know, weird. It's almost always the US that loses a car first.
Have you checked out any other cars similar to this? Any other hatchbacks or CUVs you've been impressed with so far?
Yea they discontinued the Sonic in the US too. I'll assume the last year is 2020, it's 2021 and there's no Sonic on the Chevy website. Bruh
Acho o Sonic muito bonito e fantástico em geral principalmente o sedã tenho um 2012 e gostaria de ter um 2020 aqui no Brasil
Its worse or same gas mileage a subaru crosstrek
How tall are you ??
Good review.....thank for the price!
No problem 👍
nice video, it would have been nice if you were to have driven the car but still a good video.
I have the manual transmission. LTZ.
$17,000 would be the most I would pay for this vehicle. No more than that though.🤔
I'm 6" 2 feet ,can I fit in it?
Yep
very nice are they going to be a Sonic in 2021 ????
That I have not heard yet.
nope
Nice car are they coming in 2021 ????
I believe so.
@@ChevyCLE nope 2020 is last year
Made in USA?
Yes
@@ChevyCLE Assembled in the USA but made in Korea.
With The round taillights it looks better
Lumbar support?
@Joe Tiernan No. It's an entry-level vehicle......
Kinda just looks like a bootleg vw golf that was designed to cost least as possible. Wonder how the engine bay looks like...probably as small as the trunk nice lil car tho if your looking for a cheap lil car but not my style.
Sangat elegand dan modern dari segi penampilan.... Hanya saja di Indonesia GM sudah angkat kaki😭😭😭
Nice little car, but dont se how can this model compete with the Ford ST...
Looks nice but performance wise it doesn't
Better motor, the ST was a way for ford to offload bad motors, knowing people would mod them and void the warranty.
Rear drum brakes? Seriously, in 2020?
I know right!? It makes no sense.
Saya rasa andai Aveo Sonic dijual kembali diindonesia dengan model 2020 akan menyingkirkan Honda Jazz dan Toyota Yaris😎

2020 highest trim without auto climate control! bye see ya next year
17 isnt a small tire
Rip the Cruze
isnt this just a dressed up spark
Bigger
@@ChevyCLE thanks may consider one of those looking or something fuel-efficient for work
Drum brakes thought they had disc brakes
GM has always been cheap
@@blacklotus4076 No need for disc brakes on the rear wheels. Drum or disc will almost last forever on the rear of a vehicle.
why does Chevrolet hate backside passengers?
incrível
Once again. Stop getting rid of manuals...

Garbage car Honda is the best and Toyota Corolla
Garbage huh? The Sonic for 2020 was rated highest quality in its class by J.D. Power. I beg to differ.
How tall are you ??
6 foot.
