@topeiraboy Lol evo copy? you need your eyes check asian cars suck.

[SweetHubby82]

2:48 Average 7.2 mile/gal LOL

[SweetHubby82]

lol, did anyone realize the car has the gas almost half tank left, and trip computer shows the distant it can travel is 121 miles, so roughly it does less than 300 miles a tank, not good enough.

[revolutionday1]

Just read an article on the Washington Post's site about 4,300 of these being recalled for -wait for it- NO BRAKE PADS being installed!!!!!!!!! Thanx, but NO thanx!

[brooklynboiz]

@revolutionday1 What car hasn't had a recall ever? and 4300 is low in comparison to how many were produced and shipped statewide. My 2ls has brake pads.

[revolutionday1]

@brooklynboiz Correct; recalls DO happen, but....I mean...missing BRAKE PADS??! That's beyond what I would call "poor quality control". Floor mats that wad-up, things like that...okay. But neglecting such a crucial item is just plain jackass. Sorry.

[MASTERNCS]

Chevy just replaced the crappy Aveo with another crappy car. WTF is up with American car designers? Are we trying to compete with the foreign auto manufactures now since when. Really sad to see that we no longer are the market setters but rather followers. Crap for Crap is the new Chevy motto.

"And a nice slot over here where you can store your food stamps."

[TEMEZARE]

this version is crap

[8747800]

the front looks like the lancer

[Vitaminous]

Putting the control on the stalk again... God damn it GM, why can't you /ergonomics?

[fokGoogol]

Asian styling suits US cars. Would be nice if the build quality is up to par too. :)

[noremorse126]

really nice car, i was impressed, is there a performance package ?

[OdonnellChevyBuick]

@noremorse126 I've seen an RS package out there in Chevy's marketing. I'm sure it's on its way. The engine and transmission will be the same (1.8 or 1.4 liter turbo with 6-speed), but the the appearance will be more sporty. These little Sonics get up and go.

[urrahfag]

the front reminds me of the lancer, cool lookin car.

[sockerdood11]

This body style would make a cool little coupe. I like the color and the gauges.

[knightrider250]

I SAW THE CAMARO IN THE BACKGROUND!!! 1:19 - My dream car :D

[JPzorz777]

please turn off the radio when you do videos like this.

[Artyfil]

2:31 RPM gauge? HAHAHAHA

[tcradical]

Not a bad car! But $15 grand for only these features is way to high and I'm not sure if we can trust chevy with small cars. I rather go with Nissan versa....

[OdonnellChevyBuick]

@tcradical I've sold the versa before too. The CVT transmission isn't ideal for longevity. I remember seeing one come in with 80k miles and no reverse gear. Remember, this Sonic has an Ecotec engine from Chevy in Europe. This is a different Chevy. Not the same as the past, admittedly. Drive and research before you pull the trigger. It's well worth a try. I've sold all makes and models in the past. The Cruze and Sonic run circles around imports.

[asdfgoogle]

@tcradical I just saw a comparison test by InsideLineVideo and to say the least, it said the Versa was pretty crappy.

I'm personally excited for the Fiesta ST (1.4L turbo, 180hp, high 30's mpg).

[OdonnellChevyBuick]

@asdfgoogle We already have 1.4 liter turbo Sonic's. They also come standard with OnStar.

[ladyyuna2000]

I want this 2011 chevy sonic in this color. ^_^

[SuedElf]

I cannot find a LTZ with a turbo hatchback around where i live... Are they available in Canada??

[rudfil]

... Great chic car

[24twentysix]

nice car! whats the price?

[OdonnellChevyBuick]

@24twentysix MSRP is about $15,700

[OdonnellChevyBuick]

@24twentysix MSRP is about $15,700

[24twentysix]

@OdonnellChevyBuick thanks...typed the comment before the end of the video

[metroperson]

overall the car is really cool....but no cd player....or usb???

[OdonnellChevyBuick]

@metroperson Available, but not on this model. It's basic. There are two more levels above the 2LS. They are the LT and LTZ.

[landyachtfan79]

@OdonnellChevyBuick I DID see an Ipod slot.  With that, who NEEDS a CD player?!!

[OdonnellChevyBuick]

@landyachtfan79 True. The CD player is becomming the 8-track player we've seen go away in the past.

[Bio4ce1]

A very nice car! I took one out last week up in N.Y.

[OdonnellChevyBuick]

@Bio4ce1 Sometimes an entry level compact has a cheap feel. This one does not. Very solid and plenty of power.

[Jaydoba]

Could you upload a driving video with interior lighting at night?

[OdonnellChevyBuick]

@Jaydoba Yes, I will be off work for a day, but do it on Friday night.  Thank You.
