Regular Car Reviews: 2013 Chevrolet Sonic

The 5 star crash rating is accurate. I got into a major accident in one of these the other week, and I got out of the car with minor bumps & bruises. This car saved my life.

And at 100,000 miles, it'll cost you $1000 to have it changed.

Could be worse...and be a modular Ford 4.0 v6 with timing CHAAAINS

For the parts to do it yourself it costs about $200. It looks complicated, but is fairly simple if you do it step-by-step and have some basic mechanic skills. Oh, and lots of tools, including external and internal torx heads.

[@pioneer7777777]

Turbo 1.4 has a chain, not a belt. That's the preferred engine choice for this car.

[@BradLancaster86]

Chevy is making a hole range of born to be rental cars.

[@Eric__J]

So is Chrysler at this point.

[@t436]

Unfortunately. 1.8 is actually below rental car standard. Usually sonic and Cruze LTZ are what we see here.

[@Eric__J]

+t436 I have yet to get a Sonic LTZ when renting a car. Rental car places have periodically downgraded me at busy locations with limited inventory to Spark LTZs, though... They're usually LT sedans, in fact, for whatever reason.

[@t436]

Eric Johnston most places here won't even have a spark. On'y time I see a "New" LTZ is a rental since LTZ Cruze run Malibu price range.

[@matthewbowen2345]

You have no idea how true that is. I bought this from a rental company.

[@schizophrenicgaming365]

you had to make the sonic joke didn't you? netflix and chili dogs

[@thelonelywolf88]

And throwing Knuckles in there as well

[@angellacanfora]

I have this exact car, right down to the color and love it. Bought it used several years ago, have driven it from L.A. to Vegas and back many times. Drove from Vegas to Utah in winter, and from Vegas to Phoenix & back a few times, all without incident. Totally reliable and comfortable. A bit sluggish on a steep grade but other than that, no problems whatsoever.

[@Cup_70]

looks like GM found the Mitsubishi body part bin

[@stevethepocket]

If things keep going the way they are for Mitsubishi, they might be able to raid the whole inventory in a few more years. Unless Chrysler still has dibs from the old Eagle days.

[@DG2assassin]

I call dibs on the vr4 part bin

You can turn the traction control off, you just have to hold the button for a few seconds.

[@MM9Productionz]

or pull the fuse

No "safety" feature is unfailable. Like Sanic said, pull the fuse.

[@VoraciousPhantasma]

[@t436]

Yeah you needed to also turn it off in the Cruze. That think will stall at 20 mph if it hit a wall of snow and you had it on. How the hell do you kill the engine of a car doing 20 mph in low gear?

[@Branbran1993]

Caleb I was just about to say the same thing, I also noticed a couple things that were inaccurate in this video, hold the button for 10 seconds and you can also turn off Stabilitrak.

[@playstationRLZ]

I have an 01 Camaro and an 08 silverado. I've always been a chevy man. When I got a new job that required me to drive well over 100 miles per day, I looked to chevy. The sonic fit the bill perfectly. I bought my 16 sonic brand new and have not had one single minor issue with it. Just oil changes and I just did brakes and rotors for the first time. I feel for this guy, but I would recommend a sonic to anyone. Fantastic little car

[@justarandomguy117]

I drive a company car (Sonic) and I love it

[@Eric________]

"The car had 36,000 miles on it and the catalytic converter failed...why?" Because it's a Chevy, that's what they do.

[@DrewLSsix]

Except its not a chevy, such was the point of this video.

[@Eric________]

@@DrewLSsix I read this in the Sponge Bob meme voice exCEPT iTS NOT a chEVY

[@Ichibuns]

The good news is that the US has a mandated warranty on catalytic converters for 8 years/80,000 miles. Not that big a deal. Now the bad news. It's required to be replaced with a factory catalytic converter. Even if the aftermarket one is cheaper and better.

[@geraldscott4302]

My sister had a 2013 Sonic just like that, even the same color, except it was a turbo 1.4 with an automatic. She bought it new. Around 50,000 miles it started having to be worked on at least once a week. At just under 100,000 miles the engine blew when the cam chain broke. The Turbo was also on it's way out, probably because the oil line to the turbo was too small to provide adequate lubrication. Half the engine was made out of plastic. It was well appointed LT model, power windows, cruise control and 15" alloy wheels. By the way, it's not a Chevrolet, it's a Daewoo. She paid $18,000 for it. About 2 months later I bought a 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis with 67,000 miles on it for $7,000. It's still running like new with over 300,000 miles on it. Only problems have been a bad alternator, and the rear air suspension failed. I replaced it with coil springs. New is not always better.

[@notroll1279]

I drove one of those in their "Holden Ballerina (or whatever)" incarnation in Australia. Everything in this car said "I'm a bottom of the range rental car so you're not supposed to have fun in here" - and, boy, didn't I. This car managed to make me homesick in Australia - and that's an achievement.

I had an Aveo for a short time in 2010 with about 33k miles on it. Air conditioner failed in a similar fashion and being in Florida was required. It wasn't covered under warranty and the cost to fix was more than the car was worth, so I dumped it and bought something else the same week.

I'm serious, I pressed it like a normal human being and the whole faceplate collapsed into the chip. It was in pieces. The door handle then broke pulling the driver door open after a couple days of using the physical key to gain entry since, you know, the fob shattered. I pulled and the spring didn't pull it back. It just remained "open" so the door could swing around as I drove. As a fun little easter egg, if you floor the accelerator it sounds like the engine is a sentient being that is attempting to rip its way out through the top of the hood and put an end to itself all over the road like Kurt Cobain did to his bedroom walls.

Is standard 1.8 non turbo decent on gas? I want to avoid the 1.4T issues

[@ChrisbyChickenMan23]

This one of the first of these reviews i've liked for a while

[@jazbuh1794]

The Traction Control switch is in the center console and turns off with one push of the button, hold it for more then 10 sec and the Stability Control will turn off too. I call the Traction Control button my sport mode button, turn it off at least once a day. Also you should review the Turbo model to compare to the 1.8.

Why did I look up Amy Rose unbirthing fan art???? Because when RCR slips in something non-regular, you know it will be.... entertaining. Colorful.

Had one of these as a hire car when we went to the USA. Air conditioning was good but that's the only good thing I have to say. We had the saloon and the boot (trunk for u Americans) felt like it was made of paper. And the automatic gearbox was absolute arse. Changed at stupid times and wouldn't accelerate for anything. Maybe because in the Uk we are used to Manuals but pretty sure an auto shouldn't change gears 26 times a second

[@RevengeofGothzilla]

Ginger Brit Auto transmissions in econoboxes are pretty much universally awful.

[@luisvilla799]

Also its a korean car nothing american other than the name

[@michaelclark3192]

@@RevengeofGothzilla unless you get a Honda Fit with CVT, they're much better, no gears to hunt between, just not very sporty feeling.

[@trentryan27]

he's right tho, timing belts are stupid "I want my engine to not work and be expensive to fix should this belt happen to break vs. having a chain that never breaks and will last as long as the car"

[@JS-ed2hg]

I built these cars at lake Orion assembly in Michigan. just bought my second sho though lol.

[@MrHuntersnapp]

i wish you would've reviewed the 1.4t model. I drive a 2012 with the turbo and 6spd manual, and honestly; its a very fun car to drive

[@BobeBryant93]

it would be so much more fun if you could DISABLE TRACTION CONTROL

[@LyinOats]

@@BobeBryant93 My 2012 has a button to turn off traction control. Used it a few times myself.

[@BobeBryant93]

@@LyinOats it only turns the StabiliTrak off. In Chicago winters I still had to experience traction control with that off. It sucks big time :(

Careful the transmissions blow after 100,000km

And this is why Chevrolet is not a big hit in Europe

[@DiegoRuiz1991]

If I want a Sonic I'll go buy a fucking Corsa

[@RoobehTunes]

You will because Chevrolet pulled their regular cars out of the UK. They only sell the Camaro and Corvette here now. The website pushes you to Vauxhall if you get to their "former" cars.

[@peteranderson037]

Because changing the badge to make it an Opel or a Vauxhall fixes all of the mechanical problems with the Malaysian-sourced plastic parts.

[@opl500]

It's magical that way.

[@centralintelligenceagency9003]

Opels aren't popular, either. They're known to be pos in Europe. Jerky transmissions, poor engines.

[@larrymalloneejr.2974]

The video game references kept me in stitches, along with your voice work, as usual. However my head just about exploded at the very end when the song from Final Fantasy 10 was turned into a hymn about a timing belt. If you ever want to review / riff on a high mileage manual transmission 2004 Scion xB, ring me up. :)

[@ajshell2]

I'm a big video game fan but still a budding car fan, so I appreciate all your video game references in your videos.

Great review! I love the detailed analysis of which manufacturers built the car.

[@barryervin8536]

Looking at it from a different perspective, that 138 HP is about 50% more than the legendary BMW 2002 had, and people thought they were Freakin' Rocket Ships back in their day. Some delusional people still do.
