Default Is Sonic a good car?

I always have Japanese cars but I just found out Sonic has armrest which is a feature I want in a car. So I'm thinking of switching. I don't want SUV or Van.

I want to know if Sonic is a reliable car? Thanks

when it was the aveo it was a crap bomb. the sonics have a better engine than the early daiwou designs. I would stay Japanese if I were you. Go to any library and read Edmunds or consumer reports.

The reason I'm thinking of switching is because of the armrest feature of the Sonic. I like having that for long distance driving. I can't find any other cars that have the armrest feature for its sedan or coupe.

I've had my '14 Sonic for 3 years, and put about 60,000 miles on it. I really like it, it has been very trouble free for me. I've done all the service recommendations, and only had one minor issue that was inexpensive and quick to fix. From my personal experience, its reliable and I would recommend.
