    Old EMs will fit in a Chevy Sonic hatchback, as shown. Can't speak for modern machines, too close to call.

    ADDENDUM: I've moved approximately 10 different EMs in my Sonic with no problem -- and then I finally hit a snag when I picked up a Far Out. Far Out's backbox -- and some other mid-70s Gottliebs' too -- is 28" tall x 28.5" wide backbox. I was unable to fit this in the Sonic hatchback using my standard packing method shown in that previous post; the backbox is too tall, I couldn't stand it up.

    It may still be possible, though it might require uncomfortable/unsafe driving positions and/or partial removal of the back seat. I had a friend with me at the time, so when we couldn't get it to fit, we just split it up between the two cars (one took backbox, other took lower cabinet).

    Quoted from EEE:

    Can anyone comment on whether a system 11 pin will fit in a 2017 Chevy Sonic?

    I don't know for sure -- if it's any help to guess/judge by pics, here are some of an EM in my 2012 Sonic (reference: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/vehicles-that-a-pinball-machine-fits-in/page/7#post-3090760 ).

    Might only be one way to find out...

    Just an update/warning on the Chevy Sonic hatchback (reference post https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/vehicles-that-a-pinball-machine-fits-in/page/7#post-3090760 ) ...
