Anyone know much about the Chevy Sonic?

Been looking for a car for my 16 year old daughter and have not found anything used to fit the bill. So I started looking at new cars thought this might be a good entry car she could keep through college. I plan to go drive one Saturday. thanks

Mike I know nothing about the Sonic. However, I will say that I was very impressed with the Ford Edge. We looked into getting one and all the reading and reviews where great. I even talked to a few owners, all of whom loved it. We ended up going for the Explorer, but I doubt we would have missed the it had we bought the Edge.

Just a thought..

I would be looking at other brands as well, but a classic car dealer who also owns a chevy dealership is wanting to buy my 69 convertible and give me what I am asking for it, but they want to do a little trading. He had nothing i wanted at his classic lot (way overpriced) so I started looking at the new car lot instead.

Don't forget about the Cruze or Malibu. Not sure your budget, but both those cars get good reviews. I've only driven a Malibu(a rental) and really liked the car.

Mike I service two Chevrolet dealers in my area . Both of them are selling the Sonic very well .. The car has alot of room for as small as it is and the interior lay out is well done also I've had a couple apart already and can tell you its built pretty well. Overall not a bad car ,you can tell they finally are pulling away from the Daewoo crap. By early summer there will be a two door version called the Spark..

The funny thing is, she wants a four door. I could already bought her 10 coupes that fit her needs but not what she wants. I hope she got practicality from her mother because it did not come from me! Thanks for the feedback.

Cruze is only a few bucks more, and I would buy one of the new concepts i saw at SEMA for my wife if they bring it out. They were very cool looking and got great gas mileage

That Cruze looks like a decent car. A friend of mine has owned 4 Malibu's because it's been the best car she has ever owned. She is VERY picky!

i manage a chevy dealer and i personally would pick the cruze over the sonic.

I am a straight up chevy guy all the way, but the ford focus looks pretty cool for a small car and they are pretty neat inside.
