    The Sonic seems ok, the initial models sold here is the top trim LTZ MT and LTZ AT models, well equipped, but comes only with a 1.4 liter engine.
    Quality has improved over the years, maintenance cost (based on the outgoing Aveo) is average, just choose a good dealership (quality of service varies).




    PS: High-trim + small engine makes the P828,888 Sonic LTZ AT the 2nd most expensive 1.4 liter B-segment car here, most expensive would be the Rio 1.4 EX AT 5-door * P838K.

    saw one sa mall sometime last week. i immediately popped the hood and check its oil filter. its using cartidge type . not a fan of it as availability is limited, versus spin ons.

    The sonic seems interesting but the experience of owning a Chevy is not worth the hassle.

    Im coming from a bad experience from my Chevy Cruze natenga sa casa due to a fan relay problem - No replacement parts w/c you have to wait for weeks for the supply and the Casa was poor in handling, insensitive and albeit clueless in solving the problem.

    Im also an owner of a 4.5 yr old Mazda 3 with 230k mileage which did not give me any headache except for normal wear and tear like tires and stabilizer link, shocks

    My 2 cents worth is that if you want a looker and dont worry about being inconvenienced and not getting your money's worth then Chevy would be ok. Otherwise there will be many wiser choices.

    Lemme guess, your dealer is part of the Juno Cars group? There are a lot of good Chevy dealers out there. Quezon Avenue is one, Greenhills-EDSA is another. I also heard that Otis is also a good dealer. And one thing I've noticed, only those Chevys that are Korean built CBUs, especially the Cruze, are the ones that are problematic. I don't know with the Spark though.

    The Thai built CBUs of Chevy, Captiva to be exact, seems to be running fine as per the Captiva thread. Isang Captiva owner lang doon ang nagkaroon ng matinding headache with his Captiva. The rest are happy with their Captivas.
