Thanks Willy. The Sonic was the best small GM car I have ever owned. I had the 1.4 turbo with the 6 speed manual in the hatchback. It could be a blast or nice and sedate. Most importantly, it was what I needed during some tough financial times and it got me to 83 radiation treatments and 17 long distance trips for a phase 1 drug study (car was probably radioactive). If that size was what i needed today, another one would have been bought ASAP.
I was zero'd in on the Trailerblazer pretty much from when they announced it. The Trax was not big enough and the Equinox was too plain jane and underpowered in my price range. I looked at the Hyundais, Kias, Mits, Mazdas, Hondas, etc, but found that pricing and features just didn't add up. I like the fact that the Trailblazer has some personality. After all was said and done, very low 20s. The dealer was motivated.
I imagine you left the radioactive part out when you traded it in? haha
