There's a markup for the sonics? Isn't it the same engine as the cruze? Pretty sure you could walk out of the dealer paying 17k for one of these sonics. Lol

Only if you drive short commutes in the city will that beat a sub-compact. Plus with the price mark up you see over conventional gas engines you're better off even getting a Cruze because it will take 8 to 15 years to make up the difference in the mark up. Don't forget batteries don't last forever also.

Its an option (the turbo), so that's a mark up over base price is it not?

And what does ford advertise for the fiesta?

Might be 40 for the sonic, but I'm sure with a light foot, someone in a sonic can get 42 as well.

Raindear run on love and magic... not batteries or gas... Same with pixy dust and a witch's broom. And the fuel economy on those is like a gazillion.

Its 39 or 40 highway depending if you get an automatic or manual. I'm murdering the EPA rating every run I do for work each day.
