Used 2016 Chevrolet Sonic for Sale

Which Sonic is the Best?

For our money, the 2016 Chevrolet Sonic is one of the best subcompact cars available. If we were on a budget, we'd choose the LS, since it offers basically everything you need in an affordable small car. But if we had a little more money to spend, the LTZ offers just about everything we could want. In each case, we'd take the hatchback for its improved practicality -- even if it means spending a little extra cash. Find a Chevrolet Sonic for sale
