Driving will be mostly highway... (Watertown, N.Y. to Miami Beach, Florida).
We are 2 adults in their mid 50's and we always owned and traveled in S.U.V.'s (Blazers and Equinox) or Vans (Venture and Uplander).
Is it big enough? Strong enough? Not to scary? Sufficient cargo space for luggage, cooler and necessity?
What was your longest road trip done in a Sonic?

Check these...the Chevrolet Trax (suv) and the Chevrolet Orlando (apv).

Also, I was thinking that pictures videos can be viewed from your phone through the usb port. It turns out only pictures and videos on a flash drive can be used.
Do a search on G.M. Canada to see the BIG difference in price between the Trax and Encore.
You'll realise that the Chevy Trax does not = the Buick Encore at all regarding your wallet.
I'd like to know how the Sonic hatchback performs in snow driving.
You are right. Chevy is a car for the masses. Buick is for those who cannot afford Cadillacs. And I no longer have a wallet, I carry a man purse, it's European. Maybe I should buy a rebadged Opel Mokka.
Well , here it is winter . Not running the A/C .
Our little Sonic has 24,000 + miles . Filled it up last Saturday . We have run several errands , 100% in town . The guess-o-meter on the dash is showing 29.5 + MPG .
Only modification is a self installed after market cruse control .
Last summer it got 23 - 24 MPG with the A/C being used much of the time .
I am happy . :-)
God bless

But that is not the car's fault .
Not surprised about the snow tires , on dry roads . Nature of the beast . I have owned only 2 snow tires in over 45 years of driving ( about 40 years ago ) . Best I remember , they acted that way too . I learned my sesson .
We do not get enough ice / snow in a " normal " winter to justify snow tires .
We replaced the OEM tires on our Sonic at about 40,000 miles .
