If car is purchased through in-house financing, which bank offers the best deal? I mean lower interest rate. Is it a good idea to pay the whole loan (5 years term) in less than a year? or better to at least one year?

Ask for a quote with your preferred terms of payment from different banks and compare. That IMO is the best option.

Hi I'm new here. Just got my 2015 Sonic A/T sedan. LS only. But I went to Perts to buy leather seats and bought a bluetooth car kit in the US. My previous bnew cars were 2009 Getz M/T, 2011 Sentra GX M/T, 2013 Mirage G4 A/T. I really like Sonic's front face. But I'm quite disappointed with the FC pero since I really like the "big car feel" I guess I have to deal with that. Cons sa LS version Walang hot and cold icon (for temp) and walang km per L reading. Ang weird nga eh. 6 speakers okay. I did not opt for LTZ kasi puro arte lang naman nadagdag and super mahal na ng patong. I did not mind not having the touch screen coz I use itouch for music which can be played using aux and I use my phone for GPS (waze) weird lang talaga na walang km per L reading and temperature icon. I would understand the accessories removed pero the icons/reading are supposed to be there kasi isang klase ng computer lang naman sila (i mean yung digital speedometer or whatever you call that)

I don't recall seeing a hot and cold icon sa ltz namin, but I'm wondering bat wala kang km/L. Ano ba ang difference ng ltz sa lt on current models! Lahat kasi ng features ng ltz namin very useful for us :-)

[ilovePo2015]

Eto mga wala, well based ito sa ltz hb ng friend ko, no armrest, no mylink, wheels not 16" (15" sa LS) no fog lamps, turning lights not on side mirror, side mirrors not auto fold (but is electric) lahat yun okay lang sakin na wala kasi more on extra features nalang talaga yun na hindi naman ikakabilis ng kotse. Ang hindi ko matanggap ay yung km per L reading. So fulltank nalang ginagawa ko and trip meter gamit ko to compute fuel consumption. Nasa manual na mismo, sa LS wala yun. Btw LS sedan sakin a/t 6speed

[ilovePo2015]

Btw I only use cars kasi maximum of 3-5yrs kaya hindi ako kumukuha ng top of the line. Nadala na kasi ako sa lumang sasakyan kaya may phobia na ako pag lagpas 3yrs +++ na. Okay lang sakin basic features basta power steering/window na, a/t and good stereo. Hirap kasi magbenta pag mahal.

Dami ko pala nakita bad feedback/review sa Chevrolet, I hope hindi ako magsisi dito sa Sonic, sobrang gwapong gwapo ako sa Sonic eh. Hehe. Hope to meet you all soon.

di ba lahat ng variants ng sonic walang armrest/console box?

Yung LTZ sonic hatchback ng friend ko may arm rest eh.

[roycruz]

May new features na pala ang LTZ ngayon. Walang mylink yung sa amin at walang ilaw sa side mirror. Kung hindi mo kailangan yung extra features okay nga yang LT sa yo. Weird nga lang bakit walang km/l reading useful pa naman yun.

Ano pa ang nabasa mong bad review/feedback sa Sonic?

[ilovePo2015]

Hi LS yung sakin, wala na daw LT eh. And difference lang daw ng LT sa LS ay yung fog lamps, bluetooth stereo (not mylink) and ilaw sa sidemirror. Sa fb page ng chevrolet aveo/sonic club after 2yrs use ng Sonic nung isang owner eh lalo daw lumakas sa gas. And yung DIC (driver info center) niya nagloloko, naka stop siya (while in traffic) pero yung km reading niya akyat-baba-akyat, he has a video. Tapos dami nagcomment na same issue. Pero wala naman sa prob sa performance. Yung km per L reading okay lang sakin kahit wala basta important may trip meter dali lang naman mag calculator hehe. Weird lang because it's a 2015 model napaka basic nun dba. Haha.

Three years na ang sonic namin pero hindi naman lumakas sa gas same pa rin and hindi pa naman nagloloko ang DIC. Member ako ng fb page pero di ko yata napansin yung post na yun try ko hanapin.

Hey guys, just peeked into this side-o-the-woods. Nothing much I can say about this old trusty we've had for the last 3years. In all honesty:
Not the prettiest, but not hopeless.
Suspension feels like day1 tight....To think, ours has been on 17s & 18s since off the showroom floor,out daily on all the crappy roads.
Consumption isn't among its strong points.
Handling has been up to expectations.
Wished it packed more horses at the wheels. Crank numbers are always unrealistic & overrated.
The forced induction version should've reached our shores.
Never had to top up between oil changes which are easy DIYs.....I'm not among the fans of dealership maintenance. I do my own tweaks mostly & don't care much about warranty which Mazda tops everyone by miles.
Can't complain about the A/C even on those notoriously worsening dog days.
Only thing that has failed was the auto-fold mirrors. Haven't dug into that yet. I know it's not the fuse, still have to check the harness.
Hate the rear dust on hatches, but somehow, all of ours are buttless.
If only the badge were as strong here as out west, support & aftmarket supplies could surely be better.
Overall, it's 1 solid ride w/ quirks.
Anyway, here's a bad pic of the Sonic cornily nicked Otto.....yeah, after whatelse but Autobots.

Happy Motorin'!

What do you mean Sir?

Site glitch I guess. A lot of my posts get auto-duplicated & I'd edit em off.
Not talking about repeat topics. Was just thinking out loud.

It's a feature of this forum :D
Yeah, I had to go back and edit my post to remove the duplicates :-)

If I remember correctly, yung may problem sa gas consumption pinagawa nya outside the casa ang sonic nya? Yun ba yun?

features na wala sa sonic meron sa iba:

lancer ex - touchscreen that can play movies
accent 1.6 - blue pack (fuel efficiency package)
city - hill hold assist, telescopic steering wheel, rear disc break
fiesta - hill hold assist

at mukhang lahat sila mas mabilis ang acceleration :-)
