2012 Chevy Sonic

It is about time Chevy gets rid of its base car the Aveo. The Chevy Aveo has been their base model car and one of the lowest selling vehicles around. GM has decided to move forward in this segment and have created the new and greatly improved 2012 Chevy Sonic. The base price of this car is estimated to be about $14,000 with two choices of engines. The base engine for this car is the 1.8 liter 4 cylinder engine which pushes out 138 horsepower and there is also a 1.4 liter supercharged engine that has the same horses under the hood as the small engine. The hatchback vehicle has seating for five; I like how they say seating for 5 except you will smash 3 people in the back. The back seating of compact cars should always say only 3 children in the back. The car gets an estimated 0-60 in 7.9-9.0 seconds and has a top speed of 124 mph. The Sonic gets about 28/40 city/highway mpg which makes the car break even with other competitors. I think the looks of the car and the 40mpg will definitely make this vehicle a must buy to most consumers who are looking for a fuel efficient commuter. I think $14,000 for a really futuristic car is a great deal. The future of automotive technology is changing and you are going to see a huge difference in size and shape of vehicles over the next 10 years. The only thing I think I can say about this vehicle is “thank you Chevy” for making a better entry level car, cause let’s be honest the Aveo had to go.
