TrueDelta Reviews the Available Features of the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic

2012 Chevrolet Sonic Available Features: Pros
YearComment
2013 Hyundai lets you get a manual transmission in a small car with some basic luxuries (please pardon the oxymoron): alloy wheels, Bluetooth, a leather-wrapped steering wheel. But if you want a sunroof you must also get an automatic transmission. And if you want leather upholstery with sueded microfiber inserts and red stitching, heated seats, or simply a telescoping steering wheel, then the Accent is off your consideration list. But the Sonic isn't. All of these features, plus digital instrumentation, a sophisticated phone-based infotainment system, and four additional airbags, are standard on the RS. (New options for 2014 include a rearview camera, forward collision warning, and lane departure warning.) In the B-segment, only the Ford Fiesta and MINI Cooper (the latter not a direct competitor) are available with as many features. Unless you want the upcoming high-performance Fiesta ST with an automatic transmission. Unlike the Sonic RS, it won't be available with one. see full Chevrolet Sonic review
