According to a Consumer Reports article, the first year of a new model or generation is when you are more likely to see any problems. There might be a higher chance of them in the second and third years compared to the company's or old model's reliability, but it drops quickly after the first year.
On a related tangent, a poster on another site bought one of the new Explorers. He ordered it versus buying one off the lot, and had a longer wait for it. Supposedly, this was because Ford wanted to iron out the bugs, and let the production crew gain experience before filling customer orders.
Back to the Sonic. Is GM still using dip stickless auto transmissions. The HHR's is and servicing requires a lift or pit to determine the fluid level.
