As a owner of the previous gen im liking the new refresh. Thinking to possibly pick up one next year. Also the community behind these is great many helpful people and parts out there
Just bought a 2017 Chevrolet Sonic RS LT-Auto 5 Door, I test drove the LT & Primer and notice the Primer's suspension is stiffer which in turn sacrifices a just a little bit of the quiet cabin. I love my car to be silent yet deadly and most of all smooth 😜 All I did was chose the turbo engine with the convenience & drivers confidence package. Basically I got all the goodies of the Primer just no leather seats which is exactly what I wanted. Whats amazing is you get your moneys worth. Before making my purchase I took the time to test drive many hatchbacks and this is what I have found. Bear in mind that everyone's preferences of what they want in a car differ from mine. So I'm not knocking anyone down 👍🏻 Any car you love is a car worth buying. For me I focused on the following areas: Quality, Ride, Size (Similar to Sonic) Convenience, & Power (By Stock Only) Honda hatchbacks at least the most popular 1990's to 2000: Quality wasn't there overall, but the ride in todays models are quiet and nice and very convenient but only in upper trims. Power was not there stock wise only in the form of add ons, however mechanically its been outdated for years. Good thing is their cars seem to be very reliable and long lasting. Mitsubishi: Quality wasn't there, Ride was noisy, Convenience was there for upper trims, Power was there but not a gas saver. Subaru: Quality wasn't there, Ride was good, Convenience was good, and Power was there but reliability is an issue and little overpriced too. Nissan: Quality felt poor in low trims, Ride was noisy, Convenience was good, Power was not there and reliability was sub par. For me the Chevrolet Sonic was amazingly built from the bottom up, inside and out. You can feel it in every button and service. It's amazingly quiet, smooth, gears change like butter and are unnoticeable whether in Auto or in Manual Mode. Yes the Automatics have both to select from and without the annoying clutch pedal 😆 If the hard plastics bother you that much you can always add material over it. For me its beautifully textured so I let it be. The cloth that is used is actually very expensive. 138HP stock may not seem much but it is a lot compared to other subcompacts in todays market which range from the Chevrolet Spark 98HP to the Ford Fiesta 160HP. The Fiesta may have quite a bit of power but severely lacks quality inside and out and therefore is not worth the price tag. I'd stick with the 138HP in the Chevrolet Sonic and increase it. Overall don't take my word for it, go test drive one and see for yourself. If the Honda Hatchbacks were once known for their sports car potential; the Sonic is a great place to start on a budget. In Todays Market you will rarely find a car that spoils you for this price. Don't believe me check for yourself. Fun fact: The Chevrolet Sonic's suspension, build, handling, and tuning were all done by Specialized Corvette engineers and this one car that is excited to utilize the whole speedometer. There is also no lag when accelerating in anyway which the Spark had before.
I just picked up the LT RS in magenta and I can't say enough good stuff about it. I absolutely love it!!! This car is amazing from the aggressive look to all the great creature comfort features it comes with. I know it's a small car but I don't feel like I'm in a small car. So much room in the front seat to get into just about any position needed. I am 6ft tall and I have an easy 6 to 8 inches of space above my head to the roof. Just an all around fantastic car for medium to large city living. Last but not least I feel slick when driving in traffic... and my Sonic get lots of looks.
Huge,huge help for me buying a car. I'm a Travel Nurse and wanted to see if this was large enough in the car's cargo space to pack it for road trips and it appears to have features I really,really want. The heated side view mirrors are a must as well as the Turbo charged engine. I love Onstar and I had this with my prior car that still is on the road. I gave it to my Niece but had it painted and refreshed. It was a Pontiac Vibe,12 years old and drives great. I like the Sonic even more after you showed the RS model on TH-cam. I'm going to definitely test drive and possibly buy this car. I have a very GPS so I think this will be grew on gas and can go on road trips vs. fly in and rent cars.Thank you for helping me to decide what to seriously look at.
First time watching your review... Kudos to you...You bring out everyday consumer questions and answer them, not everyone understands the technical side of cars they just want to know the basics, Nailed it man!
Somebody who lives near me recently bought a 2017 Chevy Sonic sedan RS in the blue. Wow it looks good. It made me come on here and look them up. Pricing seems a bit high for size and power, but definitely a looker.
i don't like the new headlights design in fact i think the old gen headlights design makes the car look more aggressive and just morre better looking. i also don't like the fact that gm decided to stick with the 138 hp limit might as well buy a 2012Ltz or a 2015RS. i really love this car because is so well rounded, and it does get better when you move up a trend, but it seems like it isn't improving overtime. it just seems like this car is destined to be number 2 in its class right after the fiesta and that hurts my heart since I'm a sonic owner (2012 Lt 1.8), and i want it to be so much more than this. Interior, safety, space, and reliability is fine, but it could totally be better in the performance and styling department (transformers 4 styling).
I just bought a 2014 Chevy Sonic hatchback yesterday, and I love it so much 😂 it’s very similar to this one. Mine doesn’t have the leather seats like this one, though.
Ordered my car a couple of weeks ago and i watch these videos every other day for some reason lol......... The wait is killing me ughhhh!!! Edit: Oh and when i pick up the car ill play this song too
that's what I'm saying, i love chevy with a passion but it should live up to its name, they should've put the 2 liter turbo from the malibu *250hp* into it.
I just discover this review and this channel and I have to say I was rather impressed with both. You are quite informative and easy to listen to. You're entertaining and enthusiastic without being irritating as well. So props to you. You've just found yourself a new subscriber.
I like how the Spark and Sonic Hatch look near identical. Wondering which of the two they are going to phase out - but I guess the appeal of the Spark is the mileage you get on it. PS: Have a Chevy spark 2016. Love it so much.
See I was thinking bout getting a sonic but I heard the older ones only have the turbo...and I didn't want a turbo...im glad to hear the 2017 has a 4cyl .now I'm think picking one up💯💯🔥🔥
Larry LaPointe flash this car with trifecta and it will make a little over 170hp and something like 190 ft-lb torque. Trifecta for a stock sonic is $298.

Gold Pony, That seems like a very well thought and put together small car! That makes me think : it could be interesting to compare it to Ford's littler sporty car (Fiesta ST). Salutations, JRB
Great little car! Lot's of features! Awesome video work as always! I need a slider!! :D I have lots of respect that you have the energy to keep doing the reviews! I guess now your channel name has spread to all PA dealers... no more issues to get a car?! :D
Yes, get a slider! They're not too expensive and they add a nice extra touch to the video and yea every dealer likes free advertising so having fun trying to drive as much as I can! :-)
This is the second review of the 2017 and both reviews forgot to mention the drop space in the cargo bay. Your tire doesnt go under there. The cargo room in the Sonic is why I bought my 2014. As soon as they showed me the bottom piece comes out I was sold. It has been amazing what I can fit in this hatchback. I do not like the 2017 Exterior front as now all the chevy vehicles look the same. The previous front made the car stand out from all the rest in the line. I do like the new interior though.
There are incentives you just have to keep looking. I got the Sonic RS LT-Auto 5-Door, $18,970 Convenience package + $500 Drivers Confidence Package + $500 Tax & Fee's $1,000 Golden Tag 20% ($4,000) Cash back $1,000 ================================== $16,000 @ $250 per month When I was going to buy mine I asked to find a Sonic with a Chevrolet Golden Tag that took 20% off MSRP price tag, plus your $1,000 Cash Back. They found one and started the paperwork. For a car that pampers you, you can't beat $250 per month.
For about $500 you can turn the 1.4 turbos into little beasts. CAI and Trifecta tune will add about 50whp and 55fpt. Add an exhaust , downpipe, and injectors .... Look out.
Wait a minute, the previous RS had rear discs and now the new RS has rear drums?! The 1.4L in the Cruze and the Buick Encore puts out 153 hp. Why not put that version of the 1.4L in the RS at least? For about $1000 more you can get a Ford Fiesta ST with a 197 hp 1.6L and blow the Sonic into the weeds.
Think the new wheels on the new RS are horrid too. Painting them black makes them look smaller. Liked the silver 5 spoke wheels on the previous RS. Looked more sporty.
Jim Seeber Yeah for some reason they're making the RS package strictly an appearance package. Hopefully the discs up front are bigger because they really weren't enough on the '12- '16 models.
because not that many buy the Fiesta ST, and the Sonic gives you plenty of power for small families. the Fiesta ST wouldn't be good for a small family, but for a single person it's fine. also real drums are more reliable than disc brakes, so you'll be fine.
Hey Drew, nice I will check it out, I', currently driving a 2014 Acura RLX. After seeing the review of 2017 C300 Coupe..! I'm sold, my next car will be C300 Coupe in Polar White w/ cranberry leather interior, P2 package is a must !
Dont know why people complain they back a lot of stuff in this for the price. 21k for a car isnt bad. Was recently looking at trucks but with how much they are even used and i wouldnt get a loan because 04s under 100k miles are still 15k and most banks wont give out a loan on them. So i found this car for around 15.8. Would prefer rear disks instead of drums
the whole thing is great, but my only complaint is how the hell does chevy go from 131mph with the 2013 sonic, to 108mph with the new sonic? like how does that make sense?
good luck to anyone looking for a premier RS hatchback with a 6 speed manual tranny... even though it is the standard transmisision at no added cost, it appears that Chevy does not make such a model because nobody in SoCal has one.... good job GM... or perhaps dealerships are to blame for not ordering any?
I went to a dealership and was looking at the touch screen when I test drove it I didn't have an aux cable at the ready do I have to have an aux cable plugged in to make the aux work because I wasn't able to touch the aux button to change it to aux when I was in test driving it because the one I was looking at didn't have Bluetooth and I don't want to be paying for it if I can't even use my own music
I have a 2015 LS with manual windows and mirrors.....but I want those tail lights .....also why does no one have the shitty basic no CD radio? Every one I have seen has a nice radio or the mylink screen......
I guess it depends on the needs, seeing It's just myself It fit perfectly, but I wouldn't justify paying $30k+ for the same features or a bigger car unless you intend on having family road trips or so. Even then my friend has 3 child car seats in the back with amazing room.
Okay Need anyones INPUT. I have a a Canadian 2017 Blk Chevy Sonic RS Turbo LT bought Aug 30th, comes stock with the 17" blk wheels. Does this mean I have the sport or touring suspension. Meaning the touring is more comfortable driving in if that is what I would have ??? Also I noticed in few videos that when the car is turned on the clear lights in shape of a check mark below the headlights flashes or blinks when car is turn on. How do I get my stock factory car to do this or can I. Does the cdn version come that way. kind of cool. Troy..Please help out folks.
The Sonic, the Ford Fiesta, and the Toyota Yaris, all look so much alike. I have driven both the Ford and Toyota products, and both were just great little bottom line economy cars. The Yaris could use a little more than it's 106 hp, and could use a better automatic transmission than it's outdated 4 speed. Six speed would be better.
How would you compare the stereo to the sound of the late generation scion tc? im I'm the market for a new car under 27k and stereo it always a selling point dor me and I appreciate your comments and testing of the audio system. seems here the sonic offers a lot of car for the money
Dreaklock turbo whine? You don't want turbo whine lol. Turbo spool is what you mean and it's because of the stock air box system and the sound dampening that is required to pass certain tests. Easily can hear some spool with a SRI or CAI

Heartagram The hatchback has a lot more interior room (19.0 and 47.7 vs 14.9, cubic feet, seats up and seats down) which is more useable for hauling larger things because there is no trunk lid/rear window in the way, and for driving/parking in tight spaces the hatchback is 159.80 inches and the sedan 173.90 inches (over a foot longer). It was designed to be a hatch, most of the world would want the hatch over the sedan, and its larger inside in a smaller outside form....
Wait what? So the *mustache* got even bigger? No.... Just no. Also miss the round headlights, taillights. Now it looks like everything else.... SMH l will keep my 2016 RS
As a owner of the previous gen im liking the new refresh. Thinking to possibly pick up one next year. Also the community behind these is great many helpful people and parts out there
Excellent review. I have a 2013 LTZ Sedan and I love it.
Taner Dulger how did you get a sonic with a diesel engine???

Always nice to see your detailed reviews. Thanks again!
Im thinking of getting this baby :)
Same.
i got a 2015 rally sport. it really moves out!
stay off the road
I have a 17 hatch 1.4t don't get one in a auto with the 1.4 the transmissions are junk
Siggy Rocks no you're not, stop lyin'😂😂😂
I have a 2013 Aveo LTZ in indonesia, i'm falling in love with this car... excellent!
The reason I love this car is simply because of overall driving experience. Fun as hell.
I just picked up the LT RS in magenta and I can't say enough good stuff about it. I absolutely love it!!! This car is amazing from the aggressive look to all the great creature comfort features it comes with. I know it's a small car but I don't feel like I'm in a small car.

So how many times has it broken down now? Lol
Yeah, but if someone sits behind you, you're gonna have to move the seat up, then you have less leg room.
Huge,huge help for me buying a car.

Going to get one at the dealer today. Fell in love with the orange so ordered that. Thanks dude.
First time watching your review... Kudos to you...You bring out everyday consumer questions and answer them, not everyone understands the technical side of cars they just want to know the basics, Nailed it man!
+Planet MrLaMarkB Thanks, appreciate it!
Somebody who lives near me recently bought a 2017 Chevy Sonic sedan RS in the blue. Wow it looks good. It made me come on here and look them up. Pricing seems a bit high for size and power, but definitely a looker.
i am sad that they got rid off the round lights, i thought they added character..
Thanks for not being boring
i don't like the new headlights design in fact i think the old gen headlights design makes the car look more aggressive and just morre better looking. i also don't like the fact that gm decided to stick with the 138 hp limit might as well buy a 2012Ltz or a 2015RS. i really love this car because is so well rounded, and it does get better when you move up a trend, but it seems like it isn't improving overtime. it just seems like this car is destined to be number 2 in its class right after the fiesta and that hurts my heart since I'm a sonic owner (2012 Lt 1.8), and i want it to be so much more than this.

I just bought a 2014 Chevy Sonic hatchback yesterday, and I love it so much 😂 it’s very similar to this one. Mine doesn’t have the leather seats like this one, though.
I just bought one, I love the manual option. It's a pretty awesome car, I bought it for 12,000
I watched this for less than a minute and realized I have this guy.
Ordered my car a couple of weeks ago and i watch these videos every other day for some reason lol.........
The wait is killing me ughhhh!!!
Edit: Oh and when i pick up the car ill play this song too
+dailybrother haha congrats on your soon to be new car! 😁
like the review, do wish it came with more power, it is called the sonic
Ha! good point... more power on a car this small would be a blast!
that's what I'm saying, i love chevy with a passion but it should live up to its name, they should've put the 2 liter turbo from the malibu *250hp* into it.
nice video*as always * but i will ask for more reviews tho
*just subbed*
... LMFAO.....
I just discover this review and this channel and I have to say I was rather impressed with both. You are quite informative and easy to listen to. You're entertaining and enthusiastic without being irritating as well. So props to you. You've just found yourself a new subscriber.
+Bradley Chapman Thanks, appreciate it!
I am going to buy my daughter one!
I like how the Spark and Sonic Hatch look near identical. Wondering which of the two they are going to phase out - but I guess the appeal of the Spark is the mileage you get on it.
PS: Have a Chevy spark 2016. Love it so much.
i have a 2016 sonic and my wife has the spark.
Sparks aren't built the best as reviewed by scotty Kilmer.
Is the orange "obnoxious"? Dang I was thinking about a used one.
I'll be buying one in December
Gotta say that thing is nice....would be a good low key car
See I was thinking bout getting a sonic but I heard the older ones only have the turbo...and I didn't want a turbo...im glad to hear the 2017 has a 4cyl .now I'm think picking one up💯💯🔥🔥
I'm getting this car soon!
Looks like a fun littel car.
previous ones were more aggressive looking
I've got the 2014 Sonic RS, tempted to get this one
I have a 2015 and love it.6'2" and has lot's of room.
Good overview thanks 👍
I hate "one touch power windows". Always nice playing games with the window while trying to roll it down halfway. Should be a toggle thing instead.
Mine is coming the end of November :( fricking feels like forever!!!! Arctic Blue thooooo
+Sam Harrison Awesome! Definitely a fun car!
I really hope I can get this car for myself.
looks mean from the front
That is totally right, talk about one hell of a badass car.
i dont like that they made the mustache even bigger than before.
Larry LaPointe flash this car with trifecta and it will make a little over 170hp and something like 190 ft-lb torque. Trifecta for a stock sonic is $298.
Gold Pony,
That seems like a very well thought and put together small car! That makes me think : it could be interesting to compare it to Ford's littler sporty car (Fiesta ST).
Salutations,
JRB
+Jean-René Boutin good point... Yea haven't driven that one yet but now I'm curious!
From the way the Everyday Driver guys are consider it and recommend it so much, I think it is a great car in that category.
Regards,
JRB
just bought the 2017 RS sedan today. awesome little car.
+Kevin verwey Awesome! Congrats!
Gold Pony this car is incredibly underated, your review sealed the deal for me. thanks a bunch!
Congrats!!!!
Great little car! Lot's of features! Awesome video work as always! I need a slider!! :D
I have lots of respect that you have the energy to keep doing the reviews! I guess now your channel name has spread to all PA dealers... no more issues to get a car?! :D
Yes, get a slider! They're not too expensive and they add a nice extra touch to the video and yea every dealer likes free advertising so having fun trying to drive as much as I can! :-)
I'm going to get the LT trim of 2017 chevy sonic hatch back.
This is the second review of the 2017 and both reviews forgot to mention the drop space in the cargo bay. Your tire doesnt go under there.
The cargo room in the Sonic is why I bought my 2014. As soon as they showed me the bottom piece comes out I was sold.
It has been amazing what I can fit in this hatchback.
I do not like the 2017 Exterior front as now all the chevy vehicles look the same. The previous front made the car stand out from all the rest in the line.
I do like the new interior though.
For 21k it'll stay right on that dealer lot. Lol
I know, I can see negotiating 15 grand.. for 21 grand I can get a base Subaru Forester.
There are incentives you just have to keep looking.
I got the Sonic RS LT-Auto 5-Door, $18,970
Convenience package + $500
Drivers Confidence Package + $500
Tax & Fee's $1,000
Golden Tag 20% ($4,000)
Cash back $1,000
==================================
$16,000 @ $250 per month
When I was going to buy mine I asked to find a Sonic with a Chevrolet Golden Tag that took 20% off MSRP price tag, plus your $1,000 Cash Back. They found one and started the paperwork. For a car that pampers you, you can't beat $250 per month.
Nah this car sells like hot cakes , it's amazing.
I got this car in Black😀
Yes that's what I am looking for while backing up... squirrels lol
For about $500 you can turn the 1.4 turbos into little beasts. CAI and Trifecta tune will add about 50whp and 55fpt. Add an exhaust , downpipe, and injectors .... Look out.
Good effort but for 21k I would rather have a civic hatch 1.5 turbo sport manual that has more power and gets 40mpg highway and better city economy.
I like the color, this reminds me of the Nissan Armada that I like.
good alternative of golf gti and mini cooper s
l looked at the golf and like it but i got a 2016 sonic rs. i liked the price haha
Great video man!
Thanks, appreciate it!
Good review. Just wish you would have touched on ride quality and interior noise.
Wait a minute, the previous RS had rear discs and now the new RS has rear drums?! The 1.4L in the Cruze and the Buick Encore puts out 153 hp. Why not put that version of the 1.4L in the RS at least? For about $1000 more you can get a Ford Fiesta ST with a 197 hp 1.6L and blow the Sonic into the weeds.
Think the new wheels on the new RS are horrid too. Painting them black makes them look smaller. Liked the silver 5 spoke wheels on the previous RS. Looked more sporty.
Jim Seeber Yeah for some reason they're making the RS package strictly an appearance package. Hopefully the discs up front are bigger because they really weren't enough on the '12- '16 models.
Ah yes, the question no one is asking:
Why not make a Sonic SS with disc brakes all-around, and with the Cruze's new 1.4L? Who knows.
Jim Seeber what ever I have one and it rides like a coach
because not that many buy the Fiesta ST, and the Sonic gives you plenty of power for small families. the Fiesta ST wouldn't be good for a small family, but for a single person it's fine. also real drums are more reliable than disc brakes, so you'll be fine.
Great Review, Drew ! what car do you drive ? I'm loving the outtakes !!!!!!
+Jose P. I'm driving a civic now... I did a vlog on my car history a while ago tho...
Hey Drew, nice I will check it out, I', currently driving a 2014 Acura RLX. After seeing the review of 2017 C300 Coupe..! I'm sold, my next car will be C300 Coupe in Polar White w/ cranberry leather interior, P2 package is a must !
Dont know why people complain they back a lot of stuff in this for the price. 21k for a car isnt bad. Was recently looking at trucks but with how much they are even used and i wouldnt get a loan because 04s under 100k miles are still 15k and most banks wont give out a loan on them. So i found this car for around 15.8. Would prefer rear disks instead of drums
the whole thing is great, but my only complaint is how the hell does chevy go from 131mph with the 2013 sonic, to 108mph with the new sonic? like how does that make sense?
It's the Holden Barina in Australia : p
Hope soon Sonic 2019 will have a 7 inches android touch screen and digital air condition controller to look more fun and enjoyable to drive
Is this the RS?
good luck to anyone looking for a premier RS hatchback with a 6 speed manual tranny... even though it is the standard transmisision at no added cost, it appears that Chevy does not make such a model because nobody in SoCal has one.... good job GM... or perhaps dealerships are to blame for not ordering any?
Dude...Are you sure?? There is such car. Lol
dude... are you sure...?? its a myth~!! lol
Dude...Are you sure?? Make your own on the website like I did lol, it's a great first car
Dude...Are you sure?? most people drive autos so the dealers just order those. You have to make your own on the website
Dude...Are you sure?? I have one
I like the previous year digital display better (which I own) . Such a small tweak that closed the car sale for me
Did General Motors get rid of the Sonic?!?!?!?
Im getting this for my first car my moms bf works for chevy and he gets a huge discount :)
Pretty good for small car.
whys the mileage so bad compared to comparable vehicles from competitors? like don't people buy small cars for fuel savings?
Where are the other 2 airbags?
I need a 17 sonic taillight to ship to Thailand, where can I order it?
Please add MPG in the text description
What drives better, the new Sonic or a base-model VW Golf?
Nothing beats a VW Golf for solid feel and handling.
Bigger than spark?
Should i get this or a 2016?
Nice
golf cart
Loved your review. Can you do one on the Chevy cruze?
Disregard lol...I see you have one already
I have a 2017 rally sport that thing is fast
i wanna drive it and go eat at Sonic amd get asked if Do I Sonic? and i would look at the car and say yrs i do. hahaha
I went to a dealership and was looking at the touch screen when I test drove it I didn't have an aux cable at the ready do I have to have an aux cable plugged in to make the aux work because I wasn't able to touch the aux button to change it to aux when I was in test driving it because the one I was looking at didn't have Bluetooth and I don't want to be paying for it if I can't even use my own music
I have a 2015 LS with manual windows and mirrors.....but I want those tail lights .....also why does no one have the shitty basic no CD radio? Every one I have seen has a nice radio or the mylink screen......
Nice car but the price is way too high for a car like this.
I guess it depends on the needs, seeing It's just myself It fit perfectly, but I wouldn't justify paying $30k+ for the same features or a bigger car unless you intend on having family road trips or so. Even then my friend has 3 child car seats in the back with amazing room.
Does it still use a timing belt in the 1.8 non turbo?
Okay Need anyones INPUT. I have a a Canadian 2017 Blk Chevy Sonic RS Turbo LT bought Aug 30th, comes stock with the 17" blk wheels. Does this mean I have the sport or touring suspension. Meaning the touring is more comfortable driving in if that is what I would have ??? Also I noticed in few videos that when the car is turned on the clear lights in shape of a check mark below the headlights flashes or blinks when car is turn on. How do I get my stock factory car to do this or can I. Does the cdn version come that way. kind of cool. Troy..Please help out folks.
what is chevy's answer to the fiesta ST?
Benim 2011 AT Hachbeck Aveo ile takas yapabiliriz...
The Sonic, the Ford Fiesta, and the Toyota Yaris, all look so much alike. I have driven both the Ford and Toyota products, and both were just great little bottom line economy cars. The Yaris could use a little more than it's 106 hp, and could use a better automatic transmission than it's outdated 4 speed. Six speed would be better.
800 hp?
I forgot this car even existed
How would you compare the stereo to the sound of the late generation scion tc? im I'm the market for a new car under 27k and stereo it always a selling point dor me and I appreciate your comments and testing of the audio system. seems here the sonic offers a lot of car for the money
+richard bean I prefer the sound system of the tC.... So much more bass.
so good to know... thank you!
Well you probably didn't rent a sonic with the 200wat subwoofer, were you can find when you go to the Chevrolet website.
richard bean TC looks better and has a great sound system.
come on man do the infinity Q50 red sport
+Irvin Grijalba No red sports around me yet... But definitely would love to check that one out!
Compared to the 2018 Honda Fit Sport???

I am beating the crap out of a 2007 fit. Unbreakable...buy the fit.
The Manual Fits are a lot quicker than the CVT Fits. 0-60 mph is like 2 secs quicker for the manual.
Anyone know if this comes with stop start
It's a nice car, but it's too bad the Dexcool GM put in it will destroy the engine within 2-3 years.

How come there's no turbo whine?
Dreaklock turbo whine? You don't want turbo whine lol. Turbo spool is what you mean and it's because of the stock air box system and the sound dampening that is required to pass certain tests. Easily can hear some spool with a SRI or CAI
A lot of bang for the buck, unique styling, but could use more hp, at least 200.
That's lot of car for the money

What's the point of this? Sedans get similar mpg and look better..
I agree
Not everyone wants a sedan....think.
Heartagram The hatchback has a lot more interior room (19.0 and 47.7 vs 14.9, cubic feet, seats up and seats down) which is more useable for hauling larger things because there is no trunk lid/rear window in the way, and for driving/parking in tight spaces the hatchback is 159.80 inches and the sedan 173.90 inches (over a foot longer). It was designed to be a hatch, most of the world would want the hatch over the sedan, and its larger inside in a smaller outside form....
ImaFirinMyLazuh You have a point. Although in the US hatches are nowhere near as common as sedans
Heartagram That's true. Sedan lover here.
well its interesting.
we don't care.....
ok?

Drums in 2017 on a top trim? LOL
Wait what? So the *mustache* got even bigger? No.... Just no. Also miss the round headlights, taillights. Now it looks like everything else....
SMH l will keep my 2016 RS
For this kind of money just go get a Fiesta ST.
