2012 Chevrolet Sonic

2012 Chevrolet Sonic: The Sonic has slightly different gearing and weighs about 400 pounds Fewer than the Cruze, so We expect better acceleration and fuel economy across the board. The Sonic's turbo pulls well above 3000 rpm; there is noticeable lag at lower engine speeds, despite a low peak torque of 1850 rpm. Chevrolet had a Honda Fit and a Ford Fiesta on hand for comparison, and the Sonic held up well.

The Honda, the which is geared shorter, feels better at low engine speeds. The Sonic is an economy car, the which means sacrifices in creature comforts. Both sedan and hatchback Sonic share the same 99.4-inch wheelbase. The four-door, at 173.1 inches, is 14.1 inches longer than the hatch but loses in the space race with 14 cubic feet of trunk space to the hatch's 19. The hatch also has slightly better rear-seat headroom.
