A key player in the subcompact car segment, the 2014 Chevrolet Sonic is a solid, stylish option. Available in sedan and hatchback body styles, it comes with two engine choices: a 1.8L four-cylinder producing 138 horsepower or a turbocharged 1.4L four-cylinder with the same horsepower but improved fuel efficiency. Mated to a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic, the Sonic is either FWD. Notable features for this model year include a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system compatible with Chevrolet's MyLink system, providing Bluetooth, voice recognition, and smartphone integration. Safety is also emphasized, with 10 standard airbags and a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
