  • Remember "cash for clunkers"? Well, using this program I went from a '98 limited cherokee to a '09 aveo sedan. I went from an awesome cherokee to a shitty aveo. :(

    After 30k miles, tons of problems, and being burned a couple times by the aveo, I traded that piece of shit in. (Well, it was my mom's vehicle the whole time, but I drove it the most) We/she now has a '12 civic. "I" bought my first vehicle, a '08 fusion 5 spd.

  • @wantsanewvehicle Now, I don't plan to keep the fusion forever. Maybe 6 months to a year (it's been 2 months so far). So I can build my credit a bit more :)

    Will I look at this car when I buy new next year? HELL NO!

    I have 2 friends that bought cruze's, I will see how they like them in a year and maybe I'll look at a cruze. Or a hyundai or kia instead :)

  • @wantsanewvehicle However, this does seem like a step up (albeit VERY small). I might test drive one, but I definitely won't buy it.

    ..and I can already say I wouldn't suggest buying it.

  • what an absolute POS. 

  • The Sonic made the Aveo look like shit. haha, just my opinion

    

  • I'm torn between this and the Cruze for my first car!

  • @carlover2013 go for the cruze i may be a ford guy but this just look alot more fun to own and drive especially the hatchback :)

  • @carlover2013 both australian cars.. u cant go wrong!! ;)

  • @carlover2013 Cruze plain and simple but i can't deny its a fun car to own :) chevy sonic owner since tuesday.

  • @brooklynboiz congrats on your sonic!

  • @brooklynboiz Congrats man. You made a good choice.

  • @carlover2013

    both are pieces of shit, but cruze is definitely better 

  • @carlover2013 How old are you ??

  • @carlover2013 CRUZE!

  • @carlover2013 SAME HERE!

  • @gardmans1 That wasn't my point dumbass

  • This is much nicer than the Aveo, I'm glad Chevy has something to compete with the Fiesta, Aveo, Fit and Yaris. And for all the people hating on it, wtf, if it had a Toyota or Honda badge on it, you'd bow down to it. I'm sick of people hating on Chevy, lets all grow up and realize your lame "plastic interior" or "it's American" critiques are old now.

  • @kyle51895 Finally!! Someone says something like this!! I take American over foreign ANYDAY. I hate the new Honda Civic, it's so ugly compared to older ones and Toyota doesn't make a single COOL car anymore. All just fuel economy crap. What companies make the legends like the Corvette, Camaro, Mustang, Challenger, etc? That's right, AMERICAN ONES!! They always have and always will and foreign car companies have never made anything close to them. At least Hyundai has some nice new cars out.

  • @kyle51895 People bag on American cars but praise Toyota for reliability. You buy new cars because they are reliable, unless you like getting ass raped by Chevy who don't want to admit their parts are poor quality, the dealer who doesn't want to get stuck wasting money repairing it, and Mr. Goodwrench. I know several nurses that drive Toyota Camrys and only need oil changes. Meanwhile, their husbands' Silverados are in the shop for 2 weeks, on the road 3 days, back in the shop for 2 weeks...

  • @betatalk357

    My first car was (and still is) Chevrolet Aveo with 1.2L ECOtec engine ,and i passed 60 000 km with it without any kind of "reliability" problems. Roads in my country are crap compared to one in U.S.A , they are full of holes and on some part there isn't any asphalt at all ,and my Aveo put's up with those roads just fine! I didn't had any problem with it so far!

    But my friend's Toyota Auris got it's bearings crushed after 23 000 km ,and you still won't hear me talking

  • @MeskovicZ Did you see the video of the guy with Aveo whose motor blew because a cheap ass plastic fitting connected to the cooling system exploded while on the highway, draining all the coolant out and froze the motor? Chevy refused to replace the car and stuck him with a heap of junk.

  • @betatalk357

    shit about Toyota ,or becoming nazi like you who bash other nationality's thinking that "your crap smells better than theirs"... If people want to buy Chevrolet ,who are you to stop them? If you don't like it ,than don't watch it ,don't buy it and don't judge people that drive it! Very simple!

    Chevrolet never forced anyone to "purchase" their cars! And most people i know that own Chevrolet cars are well pleased with them ,and would pick them again over any other car!

  • @MeskovicZ I went to look at the Sonic to see if it might be a good car for me to buy. After seeing its basically a rebadged Aveo, I'm not even sure it'd worth the risk of buying. You buy new cars because they're reliable. The Aveo has too much of a checkered past for me. I'm not stopping people judging them for buying Chevy; but when the engine blows and dealer/ GM tell you "its your problem", you know what's wrong.

  • @MeskovicZ You bought a car from a company with biblical unreliability and didn't change their ways, even though they call themselves the "New GM". Chevy didn't need to force people to buy their cars when they already stole $50 billion from the taxpayers. You said people you know who own Chevy cars are pleased with them, but you still said nothing about Chevy truck owners. That's because Chevy truck owners got ripped off with junk heaps like the Silverado.

  • @betatalk357

    As i said ,i passed 60 000 km on roads that are bad to the point where you couldn't even call it a road ,and i haven't had any problems with my Aveo so far. I am very happy with it ,and honestly i know couple of taxi drivers that also used Aveo's and went with them over 300 000 km without any problems.... So i am not worried. As for trucks ,i live in Europe and here we don't use trucks such as you can see in U.S.A. Here fot that kind of purpose we use VAN or real

  • @betatalk357

    trucks that can take up to 10 tons of material. Even some van's can take up to 5 tons of material inside ,so we don't really need trucks. They are too big ,too expensive and above all too big for our roads that are full of holes and curves. Not to mention that trucks like those are very thursty and here price of 1 liter of gas cost 1.50 Euro's which is 3.33 U.S. $....

    Not to mention that insuring such thing would cost arm and leg here... So i really don't know a thing

  • @betatalk357

    about those trucks ,but i really doubt they are that bad...

    As for that "blown up" Aveo ,well do you know how many cars per year gets blown up? Or just get cought on fire without any reason? In my town year ago a nice Mercedes AMG got burned to the ground for no reason at all! So does that mean Mercedes cars are peace of crap?

    I think not! Mistakes can happen anytime anywhere. By the way my cousing Avensis Toyota deployed airbags after he closed the door ,

  • @betatalk357

    I don't know really why you hate Chevy that much ,but again i am not gonna either try to change your belief. You have right to hate it ,and i have a right to love it. And i am one of those "thankful" customers that is happy with end product.

    PS: Check how many Ferrari's ,Lamborghini's burned to the ground for no reason at all....

  • @MeskovicZ I hate Chevy because I thought they'd finally fess up and apologize for the problems customers got with repairs and recalls, bad customer service in America. But they don't see their at fault, didn't take responsibility for their actions, and make amends. I thought they changed, they improved, but I don't see it any more.

  • @MeskovicZ Sure, people are only human because they make mistakes. At least Toyota owned up to their mistake, even several executives committed suicide to save their family's honor. Now, I'm not saying GM executives, should kill themselves, but they have to realize why 50% of all vehicles being sold in America are foreign.

  • @betatalk357

    My car is under 3 year guarantee (it could be 5 if i paid some extra money) and in contract there is section that clearly says that any problems with car not caused by his owner (me) will be repaired ASAP free of charge.

    Once i found my right tire been penetrated by peace of glass ,i went to Chevy local dealership and their machine for removing tire of a rim was not working ,so they supplied me with their car (Cruze) that i used all day ,and only paid for the fuel.

  • @betatalk357

    and ofc i paid repairs on my tire ,but they were very pleasent and really friendly. So i don't know what kind of experience you had with your local Chevrolet dealership ,i on other hand had very nice experience and met really friendly people that were eager to help.

    I am very well avare that Aveo is a cheap car ,and i know there is probably better cars out there ,but non of those brand new cars can't be purchased for 14 000 $. You get what you pay for in the end...

  • Mitsubishi called, they want their Lancer front end back.

  • Holden cruze

  • @boss33585 Holden Barina

  • The gauges in the Sonic look a little sparce to me, compared to the Aveo and the Mitsubishi Eclipse.

  • It's spelled "grille" not grill.

    A "grill" is something you buy at Home Depot or Lowes, a "grille" is what's on the front of a car.

    This message brought to you by Grammar Nazis, Inc. :-)

  • wow no wonder gm needed a bail out with crap like this

  • Nice job Kyle, your selling of this piece of crap proves the age old adage wrong; You really can polish a turd.

  • I don't like how the lower half of the "grill" and the chevy sign becomes the bumper and juts out. Why couldn't they just leave a clean and continuous line more like the previous generation Dodge Stratus? On those cars the grill and bumper blended better. This looks like they didn't know where to put the bowtie, so they just decided to slap it somewhere in between the grill and bumper. Please revise the front grill and bumper.

  • Whiney, pussy rock music ALERT @ 8:32 Minute mark. Great car and review.

  • at 15:17 kyle gives the middle finger

  • @bigboi000069 No he doesn't?

  • Good review Kyle, throwing in the Aveo was a nice touch ^^

    I think the Sonic is just so darned cute, how could you look at that face and not smile?

  • why are GM dashboards of most of the hatchbacks and sedans has the same design .... it is an amazing design btw but using it in more than 3 cars make me feel that GM is beginning to suffer from lack of designers!!!!

    btw I'm not saying that this chevy is a fail ...... and as usual, another great review added to your page :D

  • The Sonic is a cute and almost cheerful little thing.

  • Good video, but IMO a very ugly car!

  • Comment removed

  • only thing of GM i like... camaro XD

  • Sonic is a huge improvement over the crappo Aveo, but the Ford Focus is the best.

  • @igeekone Well, I should say the Fiesta in this price category.

  • Looks like a copy of the Mitsubishi Lancer. Mitsubishi should be congratulated because now everyone wants to copy their designs

  • @datpimpinboy it looks nothing like the lancer the lancer is so sexy and this new sonic is but ass ugly

  • @josh198869 Yea good point, the Lancer is one sexy car, but what i mean is many car makers are copying the shark nose grill that Mitsubishi started.

  • this car is a huge improvment over the shitty aveo but i still dont see the point in it because the cruze is bigger and gets better gas mileage, gm still needs much more improving.

  • kindve looks like the mitsubishi lancer

  • I've never been too crazy about American cars, but Chevy has always been an acception. In this case, I think I have a new favorite Chevy. The Sonic looks like a great new car for the decade.

  • The Hyundai Accent is waaay more better than thisinside and out and is much more cheaper.

  • Full House reference at 10:03 made this video

  • SaabKyle you are awesome :D I really want this car

  • So... the Focus is bigger, faster, safer, better looking, and gets more mpg? Yeah chevy ftw! xD

  • @Scorch1007 this one competes with the fiesta my man

  • @Scorch1007 Well of course; the Focus is also significantly more expensive. The Fiesta is the Sonic's direct competitor. I like the Fiesta more, but give credit where credit is due, this car is much more competitive with the Accent, Fiesta, Fit, Versa, and Yaris than the old Aveo.

  • @porsche911sbs True. But the fiesta is still better. Don't get me wrong although I am a ford guy there are not many car manufacturers that I dislike. That being said it looks like chevy didn't spend nearly enough time designing this car. from the poor look-a-like Lancer front end to the ugly rear end and awful interior it seems this car was simply rushed to the assembly line. Plus its poor performance which is what I was comparing with the bigger and heaver Focus.

  • @porsche911sbs It can compete with the Accent, but the Accent is better value for money and Chevy can't beat Hyundai's 10 year powertrain warranty. Especially when they pay Mexicans $1.50 an hour to make parts or build cars when they're eating refried sick wrapped up in a bread flavored diaper, drinking water contaminated with dysentery, and sitting on the can all day with the shits.

  • @Scorch1007 dumb ass. If your gonna be comparing the Sonic, then compare it to the crappy Ford Fiesta.

    If your gonna be comparing the Focus, then compare it to the Chevy Cruze, which by the way is much more stylish and elegant

  • @Scorch1007 The Focus isn't the equivalent of the Sonic...

  • @Scorch1007 the focus is compared with the chevy cruze. the sonic is compared to the ford fiesta

  • @Scorch1007 more expensive & different class :)

  • @Scorch1007 The Focus is also the next class up. Compare the Sonic with the Fiesta...

    

  • @drumr04 Eh find my other comment. I was simply saying that ford managed to make a heaver car faster and get better mpg

  • @Scorch1007 this car compares to the fiesta though... the focus compares with the cruze

  • @theoneandonlypda I know. The point was a heaver car is more fuel efficient and faster. Chevy put no effort in this car.

  • @Scorch1007 The focus is a different class of car... You should be comparing it to the fiesta instead. Sonic = subcompact, Focus = compact.

    That said, the sonic is pretty much better than the fiesta.

  • @Scorch1007 you are having a different perspective, man

  • @Scorch1007 but the Ford is more expensive! and you aren't comparing apples to apples

  • @carlover2013 Omg everyone is replying... The point was not to compare the cars I know they are not in the same class! The point was chevy failed to engineer this car. Ford managed to make a bigger heavier car faster and more fuel efficient. At no point was I trying to compare "apples to apples". Just trying to say chevy put no effort in to this car.

    Hope this clears things up :p

  • @Scorch1007 How is the 2012 Focus better looking? Have you seen it? The 2008-2011 was waaaay better

  • @carlover2013 agreed, the 2012 model looks like trash.

  • @Scorch1007 The Focus should be compared with the Cruze, not this. Compare the Sonic to the Fiesta for more apples to apples.

  • @Scorch1007 The Focus is also thousands more expensive. This car competes against the Fiesta.

  • @vash1053 That's what I've been telling everyone. Kudos to you for having a brain.

  • @Scorch1007 the focus is bigger/safer because it's a full size class bigger. Better looking is subjective. And I'm sure the mpg is comparable. I do prefer the focus though, but comparing two different classes doesn't make much sense.

  • @Scorch1007 The focus isn't even in the same class as the Sonic. So why are you comparing the two?

  • @joshy052 the point was a heavier car is faster and more fuel efficient.. I was not trying to compare apples to apples but simply saying the sonic was poorly engineered. Whats the point of buying a compact car if its performance can't even match a mid sized car

  • @Scorch1007 And more expensive.

  • god damn its an ugly pos. they should be focusing on bringing pontiac back so we can get a trans am

  • Comment removed

  • weak mpg

    

  • Looks like someone crashed a Captivia into a Cruze

  • piece of junk

  • @proudstr8 WHY?

  • I blame the car industry for the economy. Will NEVER.. buy an American car.

  • That car does not deserve the name "Sonic".

  • chevy sucks balls

  • beats a Daewoo.......

  • Since this is going to replace the Aveo is it going to be built here in he United States, or in South Korea in the old Daewoo plant?

  • imma stick to my bus pass

  • rather have a Kia Soul

  • Gotta change the horn... sounds whimpy

  • cars should be flying by now, so i think its a piece of clunky shit.

  • @FUCKYOUtwothousand You were frozen 50 years ago???????

  • the aveo ,cruze and now this one ,come on GM when are they gonna build a small and afordable car and stop buying daewoo and putting a chevy emblem on the deam things.

  • See this is what i;m talking about...you people just sit back and think that everything is A-OKAY with our country. GET REAL. Go fuck yourself you lazy cocksuckers. Stand up and fight for something. Cause in the end you are the ones that are going to pay.

  • PUKE

  • the SONIC? ....have they just ran out of names?

  • america has no style at all whats so ever anymore...

  • Don't like the tail lights... Everything else is good to go!

  • Very nice!

  • thats the good thing about chevy...they one of the only companies left that use a normal start mechanism

  • old lady at 0:37

  • obviously chinese people are more important to chevrolet and general motors than us Americans.

    insult to injuries....after taken our jobs and moving them to mexico and canada!!!! so now instead of the mexicans coming here to steal our jobs we bring them over to them and hand it to them.

    So GM is only headquartered here in the US but they are no more american than Toyota.

  • Comment removed

  • @crombie92 What are you talking about? This thing is built in Michigan not mexico you ignorant fuck.

  • @danie123182 Ouch! It was better when I thought Mexicans built the car. If it was of poor design or poor build quallity, it was because Mexicans are being paid $1.50 an hour to build cars while eating refried sick wrapped in diapers with a wicked case of diahhrea. At least it had a decent excuse for being a heap. Now, since its being built in the town that killed its own industry, it only embraces the stereotype of "lazy American."

  • steal our jobs?, like cooking,cleaning shit,landskeeping,picking fruits.! i bet your knowledge about who is really stealing from u is so clear. mexicans take shitty jobs ,asians and hindu people are really stealing from you,why? they freaking come here and work for the top companies like microsoft,boeing,amazon,ninten­do,etc you dont see us the wetbacks working in a office and getting 250k at year and hating your american way to live like mostly of asians or hindues people do!

  • Comment removed

  • @MrYonomequejo yes those are jobs. for AMERICAN and legal migrant....NOT FOR PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES THAT DON"T PAY TAXES. No asian and indians don't steal the jobs, they work hard and EARN them. WETBACKS need to learn english first, then get a degree before they can be executives.

  • hard to start at 5.43

  • government motors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no thank you!

  • No idea why someone would want to start their car when they're not even in it....

  • @lololmao7

    so it will warm-up before you get in it during the cold winter months.

  • wait was the car price i didn't get that.
