2012 Chevrolet Sonic
KBB.com Review
Kbb.com Expert Rating
In sedan or 5-door hatchback configuration, the 2012 Chevy Sonic is the quietest and most composed subcompact car you can buy. Combined with more conventional styling than some of its key competitors, the Sonic is destined to become a mass-market favorite.
The 2012 Chevy Sonic isn’t the smallest car in the category, but it’s not as accommodating or flexible as the 2012 Honda Fit. Nor is the interior as polished as the 2012 Hyundai Accent’s. And while it proves impressively athletic when pushed, it doesn’t encourage that sort of behavior as much as the 2012 Ford Fiesta.
