Here at Art Gamblin Motors we love cars. So it should be no surprise that we love the new Chevrolet Sonic with its dominating and responsive 1.8L ECOTEC engine standard on the Sonic and the even zippier optional 1.4L ECOTEC turbocharged engine. The ECOTEC engine provides not only excellent power, torque, and reaction time; but also extreme dependability, very low maintenance, and high efficiency all coupled with low emissions. The Sonic’s engines are similar to the ECOTEC engines used in the excellent Chevrolet Cruze, so you can be sure that the Sonic’s engine will provide you with a spectacular driving experience that is both thrilling and safe. The Chevy Sonic is also capable of delivering just the right driving experience specific to your needs, with the choice of a 5 or 6 speed manual transmissions or a 6 speed automatic transmission with clutch-free tap shifting.
  The high quality of the Sonic’s ECOTEC engine is made possible by a combination of its excellent design and high grade parts. The ECOTEC 1.8L engine and the 1.4L turbocharged engine both have dual overhead cams and sequential multiport fuel injection with 16 valves and continual variable timing. The result of this excellent combination of design innovation and quality materials produces smooth operations and very responsive acceleration while still giving excellent fuel economy. The 1.8L ECOTEC engine delivers 138 horsepower and 148 pounds of foot torque. The 1.4L ECOTEC turbo engine available in Sonic LT and LTZ trims delivers 138 horsepower at less RPM than the 1.8L and gives 148 pounds of foot torque. Whichever engine you choose for your new Sonic, you can be assured that you will get great efficiency, power and very low maintenance with either one of these great engines.
At Art Gamblin Motors we know that different people have different driving needs. That is why we are excited to offer the Sonic, which can easily accommodate any driving style. For those that want a hands-on driving experience the 5 or 6 speed transmissions will give you that in spades, with quick shifting and a silky clutch. But, even those new to driving a manual transmission will find the experience of driving a manual Sonic enjoyable and easy; with features like break assistance on hills to prevent you from sliding back on those tricky starts. For those that prefer an automatic transmission the Sonic’s 6 speed option is an excellent choice. Not only will you get the ease of auto shifting, you will also have the ability to engage the transmission with clutch-free tap shifting—a great way to experience more control on freeways, while still having the choice to allow the auto shifting while in stop and go traffic.
