Re: 2016 Sonics on sale! looks like $12,500 for a Hatch

1. you're always best buying the last model year of a GM product. 2. sonic owners generally seem to like their car from what i see on the facebook group 3. a couple of those LS's seem like stripper models 4. the only non-slushbox in that list is an RS what I would want would be an LT (likely sedan) ...

id get an 03 slushbox

skip awd if you have no $ to fix issues

look for as low a mileage as you can afford....but mileage isnt a big issue as the 1zzfe and the 4 speed auto last a long time if cared for. maintenance records ARE ideal

depending on your local climate, id check for rust underneath

Re: How wide...?

rule of thumb is that you shouldnt go more than 50mm wider than the rim width...

6.5" wide oem wheel is about 165mm. therefore 215 would be as wide as i go.

too wide a tire makes for sloppy handling

but, unless you're racing it, you'll likely never really notice a difference
