- Pros and Cons* Pros Great handling and visibility and attractive interior design make the 2013 Chevrolet Sonic a strong sub-compact contender. Cons Unproven reliability, small and uncomfortable rear seats, outdated 1.8-litre engine and numerous additional options are certainly not in its favour. Price Both hatchback and sedans start at $13,665 with automatic transmission versions starting at $15,965. The LT model has a MSRP of $16,815 which...
- After years of diluting its fabled SS badge, Chevrolet has sworn off applying it to models that are unworthy and unfun. But hold the applause, as there’s another letter sequence that wears the double-sided sticky tape: RS. This less-fondly remembered moniker, which is “a throwback to ‘Rally Sport,’ ...

- Pros and Cons* Pros Its long list of standard features and alluring design are very impressive. Available options are way beyond what one would expect from a vehicle in this category. The dynamic ride and generous trunk opening are among the multitude of features and advantages that are standard in the 2013 Kia Rio sedan. Cons The engine is easily overburdened (especially in ECO mode) and the interior sound level is high. An options list that can quickly get out of hand and inflate the final...

- Combine the volume of the Chevrolet Spark and Chevrolet Sonic and General Motors sits comfortably in second place in the subcompact segment, behind the Nissan Versa.

Cons Unsupportive rear seats and short cushion, lack of telescopic steering in base models, poor soundproofing and average handling will certainly disappoint certain buyers. Price The entry-level LX starts at $15,...

In third place was the Ford Fiesta, which wasn’t too far behind the Versa, with 6080 cars sold. The Hyundai [...]
- Chevrolet's 2013 Sonic RS didn't earn its red Rally Sport and Turbo badges for added horsepower; there's no more muscle here than under the hood of a regular Sonic. In the world of Chevrolet, the RS model looks sporty, but doesn't get the power and handling of the more expensive SS Super Sport.
