![]() ![]() I would not recommend buying this car brand new unless you absolutely have to like I did. The climate control knobs and the stitching in the seats are a couple of things I can think of that fit into that.ĭriving in bad weather conditions can be a little more tough in this car since it's so small and lightweight.Ī pretty big negative aspect is if you buy this car brand new it will depreciate very quickly. Some of the negative things I would say about it is that some of the parts and features just feel and look kind of cheap. As of this moment in time at about $2 a gallon, it takes a little more than $20 to fill up from E. But it does have a small gas tank so filling up happens a little more frequently than in some cars. ![]() I get about 28 MPG on average and that is a good mixture of highway and city driving. The gas mileage on this car is pretty good. ![]() The main controls you would use are also available on the steering wheel for an even easier experience. I have been in cars where the screen/radio is slightly tilted or just not positioned in a way that is comfortable for the driver to use, but the size and position of the touchscreen in the Sonic is good. This also makes up for the lack of a center console. Some of the good things about the car root back to how compact it is which also goes for being able to reach the glove compartment very easily from the driver. In replacement of this area there is an extra cup holder, presumably for the backseat riders since there aren't cup holders in the back. I kind of like there not being a center console as usually it's just another area to collect unnecessary junk. The car is so compact that passengers usually end up sharing the armrest with me, but it's usually not a problem or uncomfortable for either person. There isn't a center console so there is just one adjustable armrest on the driver side. I don't have a car seat so I can't provide information on how well they fit. The backseat can be just a little tight if your front seat riders are taller, but unless you are in the 6'5 range I don't think someone sitting behind you would be so uncomfortable that they couldn't actually sit there. They also don't get as warm as most other cars I get into (I sell cars), but it at least does the trick. Most other cars give you the option to control how warm they get, but there isn't this option in the Sonic. I have heated seats and there is only one setting for it. I'm not sure if it's made out of an easily cleanable or just super absorbent material, but either way I'm okay with it. I've spilled a few different things on my passenger side seat and the dark interior shows nothing. I actually don't care for driving cars in general, but it's pretty tolerable in the Sonic. I don't think I would recommend this car if you have children and tend to need space for all their stuff. ![]() You really have to plan for space and minimize where you can. Speaking of long trips, if you're thinking of purchasing this and are not a single person there will not be a lot of space for items from multiple people especially for these long trips. But do keep in mind this area is in view of the rear window so you have to be careful of what and where you place items so you don't obstruct your view. There also a shelf above that has the ability to hide your belongings or offer a little more stacking storage space. It makes grabbing items easier and stuff doesn't roll around to the back of a deep trunk. With this comes a little less truck space, but if you're a single person you may even prefer having the shorter space. I chose the hatchback for extra style and uniqueness. I've owned this car for almost a year now and my experience has been pretty decent. ![]()
