While the car is ok,it hasn't created a passion or enthusiasm in me that my PT did. One of the main reasons is the LACK of available accessories currently for the car. Before I bought my PT in 2001, I had a wealth of websites, and catalogs to choose from with parts ranging from custom body kits to custom wheels. In regards to wheels, I have found only 28 selections available from Tire Rack and only 1 from Discount Tire. This is due largely to your oddball wheel specs in regards to the offset and bolt pattern. My Sonic also came with the very overpriced tribal graphics (1295) that were dealer installed which was fine, but quality wise they look like they were cut out of shiny duct tape. I am currently working out some ideas for additional graphics on the hood in the way of some SS stripes. Overall, I am very pleased with the car and perhaps as some performance items begin to appear and I get to add them to my car I will begin to appreciate the Sonic more. My wishlist for customization parts: Cold Air Kit/Custom Wheels/Custom Exhaust/Headers/Rear Disc Brake Kit/Performance Chip Good job on the car.

The B-Max will be ideal for families on a budget. I really think the B-Max will be a big success for Ford, the outgoing model in the UK is the fusion and is in dire need of replacement!
