We believe the 2013 Chevrolet Sonic is the perfect blend of driving fun, safety and performance and we are not the only ones that think so. Almost every top auto review site gives this new 2013 Sonic a great review. Chevrolet has finally got it right with there smaller cars, no more cheap just getting by small cars, they did it right with the Sonic. This car is tuned for driving, roomy for a smaller car and just feels good to drive.

Sonic comes with standard  (StabiliTrak) Electronic Stability Control System, ABS plus traction control. The StabiliTrak system detects a lateral skid and quickly intervenes automatically to help keep you on the road. Sonic comes with up to 10 airbags inside the vehicle, this is the most of any car in Sonic’s class, helping to make the Sonic a super safe smaller car.

The Sonic’s dual cockpit interior design give you a sporty feel, like you’re driving a little racer, no wonder the Sonic’s interior cabin was named one of Ward’s 10 Best Interiors.

The standard turbocharged engine is complemented by a slightly lowered and stiffened suspension along with performance tuned dampers and unique sport exhaust. When you think about the 2013 Sonic, think turbocharged. The available 1.4L 16 valve ECOTEC Turbo engine pumps out 138 hp/148 lb-ft of torque. On the test track, this allowed the car a 0–96 km/h in just under 8 seconds.
