We considered the lancer but its trunk is too small for us. The city has very basic features. Glad we did not get the fiesta coz sinoli ng friend namin ang bagong unit nya coz di maayos ng casa ang problema. We considered the accent 1.6 pero walang display unit nung tumitingin kami.

^sinole nga friend mo ang fiesta nya? Wala namang car dealer dito sa philippines na may refund policy

I was told she did not get her money or probably not the full amount paid. Ford was not able to fix the problem and offered her a different model but she declined. I'm sure she returned it coz she was using an old car.

Pagkalam ko may touchscreen na yung top of the line na sonic, ltz ata yun although oem kasi yung touchscreen nya not sure kung may media playback as well as gps and reverse camera na yun. Natanong ko yun nung auto show nung april lang eh, although the touchscreen is doesn't make the sonic a better choice.

My friend's 2011 Sonic is now at the casa. He said the check engine light came on and the engine started to bog down. They were able to pull over safely. Redondo lang daw and it won't start.

Could be a coil pack or a fuel pump issue. Does the Sonic have an OBD2 port? The casa hasn't given a straight answer for two days already. Do you have a recommended 3rd party shop just in case?

Lahat ng chevy may obd2 post. We call it DLC port.

He finally got a diagnosis: faulty fuel pump. Price? 41k. A bit too early for a fuel pump failure don't you think? Unless the owner ran it on fumes almost all the time.

well, it's been 4 years..
you can quote fuel pump lifetime reports, and pray that they will agree on premature death and have it replaced for free..
otherwise...

Good pm sirs. Does any of you already replaced the keys for sonic? The buttons of mine got damaged. Also, do you recommend a genuine parts dealer for stabilizer link and brake pads? Thank you

No need to replace, just stick on some vinyl sticker over the punctured buttons & grab a Chevy silicone key fob cover from mall key stalls. Hobo.[emoji4]

Thanks sir. The problem is they don’t have the silicon cover for the same design as mine (not a flip key). Atleast here in cebu.

I’ll give thunder a call. Thank you very much for being so helpful.

It's a complicated question.

[WersUrShock]

Sa mga owners, do you recommend this car model? Hindi ba sakit ang ulo looking for parts and the price?

There are 3 units in the work fleet since 2013. Think of the Sonic as an appliance. Engine & suspension have never had problems. Just regular oil changes for maintenance. It's a regular AT, not a CVT.
The lone trouble the units have seen has been the AC Evap Temp Sensor, PN: 95018085. It is a common Chevy fault. Php450 fix. Easy DIY replacement under the dash. For parts & consumables, Thunder Automotive carries em outside casa. Prices are comparable to just about any modern car.
Here are the perceived pluses of the Sonic:
-Low tech, reliable GM Family 0 1.4 NA port injected engine developed by Opel. It comes paired w/ a regular AT & hydraulic steering assist. Generally, easy to maintain.
-This car has the odd combo parents seek as ideal 1st car for the kids. Low on power & high on FC....meaning, it'll keep em safer than the faster 1s & home more than the econo 1s.[emoji16]
-Dreaming a VW Golf? The hatch, from a distance, can be mistaken for 1.....if you're a lil under the influence.[emoji15]

-And, like the Golf in Ph, it has a chance of turning into a rarity...Chevy has decided to drop the Camaro & this model.
-You won't be mistakenly flagged for a cab.
-Sonic here, unlike in the US, uses wheel PCD of 4x100 instead of 5x105. This means more aftermarket wheel options. An offset of et35 will set the wheels nicely flushed.
-The suspension is solid, silent & reliable.....but on the numb side.
-You can grab a used Sonic cheaper than most in its segment. The advantage of low resale![emoji106]
Are you decided on 1 now, sir?[emoji4]

Thanks for the long explanation. Not a car guy but I understood most of it. That is true the resale is low. I saw a post on FB and I wanted to check if the model is good (which you have answered). The only thing that affected my thinking about the Chevy is my wife, owned one before and she said it broke down. Anyway, thanks again.

What used to be overnight delivery for LBC took 9days. They've become among the slowest now....shipping sea at air rates.[emoji852]
After that short hibernation, DIY-swapped the leaky coolant expansion tank & cap earlier today....then, bled & monitored to be back in good service order.[emoji4]
