Sonic manual transmission

[regfootball]

just tried pricing Sonics......only a 5 speed manual available? I thought the turbo got a 6 speed?

DOES ONE MORE TRANNY GEAR REALLY BREAK THE BANK????

Dude the 5 speed is on the 1.8 boat anchor, the 1.4t has all 6-speeds, manuel or autotragic.

And are you really spending that much on trannie gear? Don't forget to shave your legs before you go out, Ms. Regina.

go to chevy.com and try to build a sonic with turbo plus manual.....i swore it said "5 speed manual"....... unless it's user error or their site is hosed.

Having driven a Sonic with the 1.4T, I can most certainly say I had 6 gears to play with.

Weird. I know the Cruze LS with the 1.8 motor has a six-speed.

When I went to build mine this morning, I chose the LTZ manual with 1.4t. When I click on the "standard equipment" button, it gives a general list, not trim-level specific, and there it says 1.8L with 5 speed manual.

But I do believe the 1.4t in the Sonic has always been paired with 6-speed transmissions.

As ever, GM's websites are pisspoor.

But your trick worked: I want to drive a Sonic LTZ hatch with 1.4t and a manual before any other test drives.
