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'!

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.

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 :-)
