We bought a 2015 Chevy Sonic 1.8l Automatic in June 2015 For a little over 13,000 . Add TT&L , it was a little over 14,000 , out the door .

Only real problem we have had , the A/C quit working . Dealer changed the compressor . No Idea what was really wrong with it . Dealer tried to blow smoke at me to get me to pay 1/2 . It was within the 36 month / 36,000 mile warranty . Told them no way , they backed down .

We now have about 25,000 + miles on it . In summer & A/C , got 23 - 24 MPG city & 34 + MPG highway .

Now , in the winter & no A/C , getting 27 + MPG .

We like the little car . Would like it more if I was not old , fat & stiff . :-)

God bless
Wyr

PS The 1.4l Turbo is suppose to get a little MPG . Not worth it for me . Hope to drive it a LONG time and I do not want the potential of a costly repair , if the Turbo went out .
