All in all, I cannot complain.
My car has comfortable seating for the driver and passengers. A lever below the front seats allow for the driver and front passenger to adjust the seat to their satisfaction. I have had my car for about 6 months now and it has functioned as I expect it to. The dashboard controls are easy to see and operate. The car is stylish. And the headlamps provide ample lighting of the road. All in all, I cannot complain.

Overall reliable, useable car.
It has a nice, smooth ride. Good handling. Its Bluetooth compatible, has heated seats, and a decent amount of trunk space. Plenty of safety features, good GPS, dual climate control, decent sound system. Sound system does have a crackling sound when volume is really high though.

Chevrolet sonic: big, bold and exciting in a small package.
The 2020 Chevrolet sonic premier sedan has a 6-speed automatic engine 1.4l turbo engine, and has more power than the older 2.4l models. It also gets 26 city /34 highway mpg. The car also comes with apple CarPlay and android auto capability. The sonic is first rate in its commitment to safety, as it comes with 10 standard airbags.

It has heated seats, turbo and my car is made in the USA.
I would recommend my sonic to anyone. It gets great gas mileage, sporty and has a very comfortable ride. The sonic gets 409 miles to tank of gas. It has the rs package, has heated seats. The color of my car is a very beautiful dark blue. I have named my car sapphire. It also goes very well in the snow. My car USA four cylinder but still has the power. I consider Chevrolet the best. I would advise anyone to buy a Chevrolet. If you want a great car that has power and is sporty. I suggest you buy a Chevy sonic.

My 2020 Chevy sonic lt is a very reliable car.
It is amazing and very reliable. I drive it an hour to work everyday and I couldn't be happier with the car I got. It gets to and from work and it is pretty good on gas. It has an awesome radio with a backup camera. I also added speakers and amps which made the music sound better. It is a very good reliable family friendly car and I haven't had any major issues with it in the last three months I have had it.

I absolutely love my car!
I absolutely love my car. Perfect for me and my child! Small but also comfortable. I wouldn't recommend for a big family. I do wish the trunk was bigger for when I go grocery shopping. It has a back up camera and apple CarPlay which I think is very cool.

My first car did not disappoint!
I absolutely love my car. It is a smaller car, but at the same time it is still spacious. I was able to fit a 65” TV in it, which was surprising. It is great on gas, and drives really nice. I am very happy with my purchase. Also, it has remote start and heated seats which is the best!

It is a small silver car, very comfortable and quite versatile.
It is very comfortable and a perfect compact size for me. A great car to have with me in college. It gets fantastic gas mileage as well. I really have no complaints about the car. It is great for my personal needs. It is probably not my favorite choice style wise, but the comfortable interior makes up for that.

Best decision I made. I need something for myself.
I have not had no problem with the car since I got it. I just do not care for the floor of the car. Overall I love the car. I got it from Chevy in Tifton ga. They work with me every step of the way. Getting the car was the best decision I made at first I was not sure but when I got it I was happy with it.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Jon O.

Small decent size for a single or couple and maybe 1 child also nice cargo space if you haul groceries or gym bags. Gas efficient. Reliable. Great sound system. Low maintenance and less trouble since it's already a 2020.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Jon O.

Color selections and not very good if you have tall family or friends visiting!! Cargo space wouldn't work well with skiing or extra large equipment if more than 3 people wanted to do a winter road trip.
