2014 Chevrolet Sonic Reviews

1) In the shop for 2 months. Needed fuel panel replacement. Tried a used one which was a dud. Couldn't get a new one because they were on national backorder, then GM went on strike. Finally tried a second used on that worked. Few months later, computer was completely replaced. Now during all of this check engine light. Code showed thermostat which was replaced. Again several months later, same thing. Again thermostat was replaced. It was good for three week...CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SAID THERMOSTAT AGAIN! Finally blew a head gasket. SONIC IS GONE!

I currently have a 2014 Chevy sonic and I have had it for about eight months. Before I bought this car I was driving a Yukon so it was a bit of a change. Overall, I love my car. It is comfortable, fast and I haven't noticed any issues with it. However, some people may not like the size of the car because it is a smaller car so I would not recommend it for anyone who needs to drive with several people in the car. It is so easy to drive and get used to and I do not think I could get used to driving another car again. Overall, 10/10 I love my Chevy sonic.

The Chevy sonic has brake issues because of the electrical system, brake boosters are kind of bad, the car has no sunroof, a thin steering wheel car gear shifter button sometimes gets stuck has great engine the style of the car is cool and comfortable not to big not too small, the sonic also has a digital dashboard very air conditioning and great heating system great car for a small family the sonic comes standard with a 138-horsepower, 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine paired with either a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. It is available with a 138-hp, turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder that can be mated to either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. Agile handling and a roomy interior help make the 2014 Chevrolet sonic one of the top used subcompact cars on the market. It also has one of the best safety scores in the class.

I really love the gas mileage that my car gets. I usually get around 30 miles per gallon. That is great for me! One thing I wish it had was a bigger gas tank. That would help me out for the longer trips that I have to make every couple of months. It is a little on the smaller side. It is harder for adults to fit in the back especially if there are already tall or larger people in the front seats. I wouldn't suggest it for someone who is going to have more than two people riding in it frequently. I am single so it works great for me. I love the reliability of it. I have only had to take it to the shop one time since I have had it.

I loved this car when I first got it. For about 2 years, it was great. Then my thermostat busted. Replaced along with the air intake hose that had a huge gash in it. Then almost exactly one year later, I had to replace the thermostat and housing again. Then another year after that, same thing. This car is turning into a headache. I've replaced tires, air filters, kept up on oil changes and I'm losing gas mileage. It's a decent stepping stone to a better car.

The Chevy sonic is a very reliable vehicle. I have been driving this car for about 3 years and it has never gave me any problems. I keep up on my oil changes and yearly maintenance and it has done me justice up to this point. It is a smaller car and is not super comfortable for long car rides. It is very low to the ground and can easily bottom out on potholes or high entryways into establishments. It is a 2014 year car but has Bluetooth which is a very good feature. It had crank windows which is not ideal but it is not a deal breaker. I wish it had a backup camera but this is also not a bad thing. The price I paid for it when I bought it was not too bad. It was a good price for what I was receiving and overall I love my car.

Great car. I bought it used, but I have done regular routine maintenance on it. Has not let me down yet. Drives beautifully. I have the ability to start the car remotely with the key which is great on cold mornings. The heater is already blowing warm air when I get in. Handles very nicely, and has a lot of room in the back seat. My trunk is spacious. The Bluetooth works great. People tell me there is a light whistling noise, but I do not know if that is the car or their phone. Sound system is really nice for stock system.

Having bucket seats in a car is amazing. The car handles amazing and problems did not start until after hitting 100, 000 miles. Parts for the car are inexpensive but poorly made. When one problem arises, everything else breaks. Car is simple to fix with just searching the issue online and having simple instructions. Easy to access all parts. Biggest complaint when I first purchased the car was the driver's seat has an arm rest but the passenger seat does not.

The problems I have had with the car is the tires, as well has the menu lights come on, when nothing is wrong and do not easily turn off when the problem is fixed. Does not run well in the cold sometimes. The overall performance works well though, I like my car a lot and how it runs. It is not the most comfortable car but it is comfortable enough for me. Not luxury by any means but it gets you through the day. It is a pretty reliable car. The most problems I have had is just the tires and the light symbols on the dashboard. Besides the bad I like my car a lot for it being my first car. It is a perfect first car.

While the vehicle is compact and can fit in any parking space, it does not have automatic windows, which can prove to be very inconvenient when trying to roll them up while driving. If a bug gets in, or it begins to rain, you are virtually out of luck. Also, the car does not have cruise control. This means that if you are driving long distances you are unable to garner any assistance from the vehicle. Lastly, the care does not have any seat warmers so it takes a while to become warm.

I love the leather-like seats and the touch screen monitor in my car. It drives nicely and smoothly and speeds up a decent amount. I also think the Chevy Sonic is aesthetically pleasing. I have rarely had any issues with my car and usually only need to take it in for tire rotation and oil change and things of that nature. Seats are comfortable as well. Also, for a compact car, there is plenty of space in the trunk and the back seat although not as much as a sedan (obviously).

My car has run pretty well over the past 5 years. It does have an issue with the engine where it will 'shudder' when stopped and additionally the check engine light comes on when the tire pressure gets low. But it is a very nice car with many nice features such as Bluetooth connection with the radio and enhanced sound, power windows, and is an automatic. I paid 13k for it and it is still ticking with no major maintenance required, so I think that was a fair price.

I loved this car for the first 24,000 miles. It looks great, perfect for inner city parking. Gas mileage sucks, around 22mph at best, but so much fun driving the turbo engine. The gear shift lever broke at 24,000 miles. At 24,500 the windshield washer tune came loose in the hood and ruined the under hood liner. No liner replacement but they plugged in the hose to fix it. I have fixed it myself at least 3 more times. I kept smelling coolant at 29,000 miles, but they kept telling me they could find nothing ( 2 days without a car and no rental offered ) At 38,000 my car suddenly overheated, I towed it to the dealer, it was a cracked thermostat housing. Under warranty, no car for 2 days and no rental offered. At 39,500 the air conditioning died and it was out of warranty for that. $400 from my own mechanic. He was very surprised it died to soon. I was too! At just over 44,000 miles, I smelled coolant again. It was time for a new radiator!! Not covered, the dealer wanted $1300. They were surprised it went to quickly, and got me a “deal” from GM to “only” pay $500. The water pump also was bad and replaced under warranty. At 47,000 miles the gear shift lever broke again, I replaced it myself with the help of eBay and YouTube for under $20. Now, at just over 49,000 miles I smell coolant again, take it back to the dealer where they replaced the radiator 6 months before believing it was under warranty from their previous repair, but now it is the coolant recovery tank that is broken and they want another $400 to fix a $47.00 part. They asked GM if they wanted to help me out again, since all this is happening under 50,000 miles, but I got a big NO. I paid $150 for the diagnosis and am taking it to my mechanic and having it done for under $200, so I save at least $50 and have the pleasure of never giving Chevy any more of my money.

Honestly there’s not a lot of negative things I can say about this car. It is a small yet very comfortable car and if taken care of, will last you years. It is been 6 years and the car still drives beautifully. The trunk is spacey so I can fit a lot in there, if not the backseat is spacey as well. I also love the Bluetooth touchscreen radio. It makes it so easy to connect and disconnect phones or other electronics fast and since it does not let you mess with it while you are driving, it is safe.

My Chevy sonic does not meet my personal needs. I live in an area with harsh, snowy winters, and the sonic is regularly not powerful enough to overcome minor slippage, even with brand new tires. Other features also make this car unsatisfactory: it has a 10-gallon fuel tank, so I have to stop at a gas station quite frequently. The horn is very wimpy sounding; it does not call attention in any way that is not embarrassing, and it has proved ineffective at performing its main function. Another big problem is the enormous blind spot in the rearview mirror, caused by the rear passenger headrests. These headrests are not removable, and frequently obstruct my view out the back windshield. Other than these larger problems, there are several trivial issues adding to the frustration: there is no center console between the front seats, with a poorly positioned, tiny arm rest only on the driver's side; the touch screen is not very responsive and needs to be pressed quite hard; the Bluetooth is very finicky and constantly needs to be reset. I will say, however, that when the Bluetooth (and other audio) are operating correctly, the sound quality is excellent, as is the volume range.
