The sheer number of storage spaces makes it easy to get comfortable in the car.

Onboard conveniences like steering wheel mounted controls and Bluetooth connectivity keep your hands on the wheel. The new-style speedo takes up little visual real estate, encouraging you to concentrate more on the road ahead. Overall, it’s a fairly fuss-free car to have. Though the Sonic may broadcast excitement in its online escapades or with its very appearance, it’s a lot more sedate and relaxed in real life. In the city, the car managed to return 7.9 km/L and 10 km/L in the highway. Bumps and potholes are handled with little fuss while the car itself feels stable and grippy. Don’t expect the same action you see in the viral videos as power kicks in later, at above 3000 rpm. There’s enough oomph for traffic and stop and go situations. Discs in front and drums behind, equipped with ABS as standard, bring it to a stop.Īs a daily drive, the Sonic rolls along fairly well. It rides on 16 inch wheels with 205 55 series tires. MacPherson struts and a torsion beam rear suspension system keep it aloft over bumps. This, in turn, delivers power to the front wheels.

It’s paired with a six speed automatic with manual shift buttons on the side of the stick. Hauling all of this along is a 1.4 liter engine that produces up to 101 ps and 130 Nm of torque. On either door are cupholders big enough for bottles and behind is a large trunk big enough for a month’s worth of groceries. On the center divider is a coin organizer just after the stick shift and cup holders in between the seats. There’s one on either side of the center stack and a space just below it. Perhaps the best part about this car’s interior is the sheer number of pockets and storage spaces. Audio and a phone connected via Bluetooth can be controlled via the remote on the wheel. It can be hooked up to an iPod via a cable.

Over in the center stack is an integrated stereo and automatic climate controls. Take note that, just like other American cars, light controls are on a dial to the left of the wheel. Rather than dials, a motorbike inspired instrument cluster sits above the steering column, integrating the tachometer, digital speedometer, fuel efficiency readout, range and odometer. The dashboard wraps around the front passengers like an aircraft cockpit, making you feel more like you’re inside a private plane than a car. It features a similar twin cockpit interior as found in its larger sibling, the Cruze. Inside, the Sonic continues this youthful and sporty style theme.
