>>17126359

>>17126359
Civic for 3k.

>>17126359
Sonics are driven by fagbois. Get the Cruze.

>>17126694
Do fagbois drive Toyota vitz too?

>>17126681
where i live the civic its not an option..

>>17126434
Is kinda smol like one

>>17126725
Where do you live?

>>17126793
Dominican republic

Get the Yaris IA. At least it's a Toyota, so it'll be reliable

>>17127107
>>17126359
I really hope none of you unironically enjoy these vehicles.

>>17127124
The Yaris IA is a great car. Toyota reliability, great mpg, room enough for 4 and a decent trunk for only $16k brand new. It's hard to find a better car for the price.

>>17127192
>he thinks it's a Toyota

>>17126359
>buying a GM Daewoo product
>buying any GM product, period

Fit, 2 or Yaris. Take your pick.

6/10 desu

>>17126359
It's not so much as a car as if is an expensive gold cart with just as unresponsive steering and power.

Owner of a '14 Sonic LT sedan with turbo. Surprisingly fun little bastard, and 38.5 mpg averaged. If you want a little more plush, go with the Cruze. If you want a fun kick in the pants, go with the Sonic. Feel free to ask questions, but it's only the second car I've owned.

Sonic is gud but slow.

Still has a sporty feel to it

Only issue had is a.c. doesn't work and the intake hose had to be replaced due to gm using a shit material. (Replaced with a new material)

>>17128751
AC is good for now, but that's coming from a car that might as well have not had it.. Good info to hold onto. Thanks.

>>17128758
I think it's because the ambient temp sensor isn't working anymore.

But basically all relays etc are good but the a.c. compressor clutch doesn't engage

>>17127192
iA is a Mazda2 you dummy!

>>17127774
That coment about GM and thew whole Daewoo thing made me think...

In my country any Toyota will hold its price better than a chevy, but the Yaris is ugly as fuck on the inside

>>17129171
except Daewoo hasn't existed for almost a decade. GM killed off Daewoo in 2009 during the bailout, along with Hummer, Saturn, and Pontiac. Saab was sold off and Saturn was almost sold off until the deal fell through.

Anyways, the Sonic rides on the Gamma 2 architecture, shared with the Opel Corsa. The 1.8L and 1.4L Turbo engines are shared with the Opel Astra. And the suspension was tuned at the Nurburgring by the Corvette team.
You know what the Daewoo guys had to do with the Sonic? They styled it. That's it.
> Here guys. The Germans did all the hard work and the Americans did the suspension.
>Now make it pretty.

and relevant reviews of it

Keep in mind THE model to go for is the 1.4L turbo with the 6 speed manual. You DON'T want the 1.8L or the automatic. The 1.4L turbo is not only faster, but more fuel efficient. And should you want to modify, you can get decent power from the 1.4L while aftermarket support for the 1.8L is virtually non-existent. Pic related. You'll be looking for this turbo badge on the back.
The Sonic is the most fun car you can get in its class at that price point. Features-wise, You want an LT, LTZ, or RS model. Don't touch LS models.

> nigga u already fucked up in the title

>>17131345
Nigger, you're severely misinformed.

>>17129510
>1.8
>no aftermarket support

uwotm8

>slower

negative they both produce the same amount of power, the only difference is the 1.8 has to rev its nuts off to produce that power, which desu is pretty fun with a 5 speed

>>17131359
show me aftermarket support for the 1.8 beyond intake and exhaust. preferably a bolt on turbo kit. THEN I'll recommend the 1.8L. Until then, I'll recommend the 1.4L.

>>17131373
its an econobox what more do you need.

there are also ecu tuning options as well as bigger injectors etc.

for an ecobox the more reliable engine should win out which is the non tarbo

>>17131405
I'm a ricer at heart. Show me the turbo kit.

>>17131420
i dont think there is a prefabbed one, but i really doubt it would be too hard to slap the 1.4 turbo on with a custom manifold and tune

biggest issue is whether or not the 1.8 can even handle boost reliably.

>>17131420
>>17131356
you're arguing with someone who literally lives in a trailer home.

>>17131448
>trailers are bad meme

its preferable to an apartment and since out in the country i can work on cars in peace

>>17131462
>literally trailer track that drives a Daewoo

You cannot make this shit up lmao.

IIRC, the turbo of the 1.4T is integrated into the manifold
