Affordable And Easy To Drive — I recently spent a week with the Cobalt and was impressed with its quick acceleration and ease of handling. It performed well on rougher roads and highways alike, and received better than average gas mileage. It does however, feel a little low to the ground and the passenger side seating position creates a significant blind spot for the driver.

Pros

It's kind of boring when it comes to looks...

Cons

This little roadster's peppy for only a 2.2L!

I Love This Car... It's Practical And Powerful; Standard With A 2.2l — I've always been a Toyota girl with a sweet spot for Chevy's... I fell in love when i test drove this car!

Looks Good, Goes Better By Scott
