hmm, i for one not a trend follower like many others who go for 'mainstream' brands and go Japanese. I booked mine last week and due to get them this week or next week.
Just ignore what the naysayers say, I am going for this (although) it is just a mere 1.4 all because of it's safety features. Sonic is still overshadowed by the failure of Aveo, which is not a proud thing to say but hey, Sonic is Sonic and there's alot of improvement in this one hence im giving it a try.
Plus it has won alot of awards in Europe and US and the safety points surpassed some of those higher segment Japanese cars like Mazda.
Me too, I hate to go mainstream.: i also don't give two hoots about what people said or think, as it's my money and i do what i like with it.
My worry is about the service, as always. Since there's so little interests, spare parts supplies will be low etc etc. And of course the depreciation will be bad, but it's a secondary worry. It will make the Sonic a fantastic second hand buy
I really don't know why people had such low view of the Aveo...it's a very decent car. There's still a lot of them running around in good condition. The only place where the Aveo seems to be bashed badly is in the USA. But common Americans are dumb bunch of people so I usually ignore their opinions. When they did not service their cars and it broke down, they usually blamed the car and not the owners.. Even in the UK the Aveo had decent image, that's why the Sonic is known as the Aveo over there. The one that got the boots in the UK is the Daewoo Spark
Come to think of it.....I think you meant the Aveo SEDAN right? the one made between 2006 - 2009? now that model IS a failure. It's rarer than a honest politician..it's so rare and forgettable that I forgotten that it existed earlier
The few problems that the Aveo had is the timing belt, which has to be changed every 50,000 kms, and the air-con compressor. Besides that, normal what...
but good on you bro, thinking of booking my own Sonic hatch too...
