The positive aspects of the Chevy Sonic Premiere are the in car technology- specifically the heated seats and the heated steering wheel. The reverse camera is also very nice for back up safely. I also take advantage of the cruise control often when driving long distances on the freeway.
I love that it is a smaller car than I have had in the past but it still have a lot of room. I also like the CarPlay feature. The backup camera is very useful as well. Things like interior are important to me and the interior is very sleek.
My car gets great gas mileage, which is perfect for a daily commuter. It has in dash display compatible with Apple and android phones. It has built in Wi-Fi and on Star. It has heated seats and defrost mirrors. It comfortable seats 5 passengers and has an extra cargo compartment in the trunk for additional storage.
Turbo, small turn radius, great gas mileage, leather like seats, SiriusXM radio, large touchscreen and great sound system for long drives with my two children who enjoy listening to kid's music on the radio.
The car has Heated seats and it has a heated steering wheel. The car has Touch screen with apple carplay and Bluetooth for your phone and radio it has automatic windows and seat movers to adjust your seat to your liking. The trunk space is nice and the front seats are spacious as well.
It is very fuel efficient and simple to drive. The cost to maintain is relatively low. The parts are easy to get. It has enough room to transport people and goods. I am pleased with the amount of money that I have spent on it so far, including the sales price.
It has great gas mileage both city and highway. It is comfortable and looks very nice. We love it. The Chevy sonic is great for long trips as it is very comfortable to ride in and makes the trip less exhausting and much more enjoyable. We would definitely buy this awesome automobile again in the very near future.
My car handles well, it gets good gas mileage, and it is perfect for me since I usually do not have any passengers. Mine had the sports package so is stylish and has nice features. I like the backup camera and dashboard features connecting my iPhone, iTunes, Pandora and other apps. Sunroof is nice. I am happy with it.
I don't really have any negative aspects of the vehicle. If people prefer larger cars or trucks, than the Chevy Sonic may not be ideal for them, as the car is smaller than most sedans. Also, the dealership did not have a front license plate mount on my car when I bought it. This is something that is required in my state so I had to make an additional purchase.
There are not many cons for this vehicle. I do not like the lack of a middle console. I also do not like that the passenger seat does not have arm rests. I also think it would be beneficial to have more cup holders and a back middle console.
It is quite small so it is not ideal to transport large items. My specific car does not include lane assist features but it is available for this make/model car. If you have a large family, it only seats five passengers, so it would not be a good car for large families or traveling with more than 2 people due to limited storage.
Small trunk, small seats, leather like rather than actual leather, small gas tank, cramped cabin, inability to access doors or trunk when battery system is dead. Current issue with electrical system that seems unrealistic.
The vehicle has little leg room in the back seats and the windows fog easy, the horn is not very loud and the speakers are not the best. The turn radius is not good either. You cannot make sharp turns and parking is a problem.
It is a cheap car, so I am afraid that the parts will easily break in the future. I have already had some mechanical issues with it - had to replace an O2 sensor. The OnStar/Wifi is constantly going out, which is aggravating to fix via phone with an agent.
It does not have a lot of power when the air conditioner is on. There is not a lot of room for passengers in the back but this really is not a big deal for us. This is a great car overall and there are really no major complaints to be made as cons.
There is not much leg room for my sons that are 6 foot 5, but they do not travel with me much anymore so it is not a big issue. I have got one tire that is losing air but that is not an issue to be blamed on the sonic itself.
The 2018 Chevrolet Sonic has an average owner rating of 4.51 out of 5 which ranks it #16 of 31 other Small Cars.
