I like the look of the original black mirror covers that came with it, so I switched it over to those...

The above post was from December 2014 when I got my first car, a 2009 Mini Cooper S. It was an amazing first car, there wasn't a second I was driving it where I wasn't smiling. I ended up putting over 100,000 kms on it. Unfortunately though, last year it broke down at the top of the Burlington Skyway, and I had to make the decision to fix it or get a new car. I wanted something more reliable during the pandemic, so I decided it was time for a new car. I still have the MINI, and when I have the time and money I'll get it back up and running.
I got my new car exactly one year ago, today. It's a 2018 Chevy Sonic RS and it's been incredible so far. It's not as fast as the MINI, but the reliability, comfort, tech, and extra space make up for it.
This generation Sonic was only sold from 2017-2019 in Canada, so they are kind of rare. I've only seen two other orange ones all year. I get asked quite a bit what it is because so many people haven't even heard of them.
One of my favourite things about the design is the hidden rear door handles. I get to keep the look of a 2-door, but all my friends are happy that they don't have to crawl into the backseat anymore
