CleanMPG Reviews the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic
Keep the option selection to a minimum and it is one hell of a car.

Re: CleanMPG Reviews the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic

Hi All:

A little addition for Saturday night that you may not have expected

Kick Flip a Chevy Sonic?

A kick flip is a 360-degree rotation in mid-air.



Dyrdek performed the stunt before spectators at Six Flags Magic Mountain, while MTV filmed the feat for the Season 5 premiere of Fantasy Factory. He executed the kick flip over the world’s-largest skateboard that he created for a previous stunt.

It is highly recommended that you do not attempt this with your own Chevy Sonic.

Got to ride in my moms sonic today. For a little car it has a nice ride and quiet on the highway.

Couldn't take the greyhound to get my car due to schedule.

Hers is the automatic. 2000+ miles on it and avg 26.5 mpg since new. Almost all city driving.

Hi James:

With the 2012 Toyota Prius c now available, the 2012 Sonic even with the 1.4L Turbo and 6-speed stick would be a tough case to make for a friend or relative.

Re: CleanMPG Reviews the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic

In the Sonics defense,

Its an old people car. Handicap old people. I'm betting my mom uses a lot of drive thrus. Bank, drug store, etc.

On my 45 minute ride in the Sonic, my step dad said "ourmotor home (a Ford 460) gets the same mpgs at 75 as 55" when I suggested he back the speed down from 70 to 60

ummmmmm, OK?


I think the car could do a bit better easily
