This is one of those cars that looks good on the spec sheet or even just parked. However, out on the road it disapoints. Sport suspension, large disc brakes, a big 2.4L VVT DOHC 4 cly with high compression do not translate into a fun ride. One of the big problems is the 4 speed automatic, it's just not happy pairing to this engine. In fact, it's an unhappy one. You can hear this by the way the two sound--a whinny, lethatrgic moan is emitted most of the time. It proclaims, "I am not having fun here!" The thrust is okay when you floor it off the line--but theres not alot there when you moving and you get on it. Unless it does some high rpm downshift to a much lower gear it will just provide modest accleration. The gas mileage is decent in the city. Not great but not bad either. As with most cars, on the highway its very good. Then theres the ride quality or lack there of. In the name of high shid pad g number it sacfifices alot of ride compliance. Instead of absorbing road irregularities it just crashes over them. I feel that the spring rates are just to hard. The steering is another let down. It's an electric setup which is done to save a very smalll amount of mileage and is becoming very common. That's fine by itself but the problem is the feel. It's a bit too heavy, vague and very artifiical feeling. Like your playing some arcade game. Despite my misgivings with the suspension and steering you can corner quite fast--which might be the only smile this car ever gives you. Other then that, it is well built car that has a solid feel to it. The brakes inspire a fair amount of confidence and has a very firm brake pedal.

Absolutely love this car and everything about it. If I were buying another car today I would definitely look at the Cobalts. I would highly recommend this car to any of my friends or family to buy and have in their garage.

This car is a blast to drive, decent power from the supercharged 2.0L, great handling and good brakes. I grin everytime I get a chance to do some spirited driving.

Quick and enjoyable to drive. Fun to customize and tune. Cheap plastic parts around interior. cheap leather (stretches quickly and easily) Great throttle response great sounding exhaust responsive suspension oerall the car was a good buy, definatly dont regret getting the SS model. i recommend this car for its price and performance

awesome eveything. I love the whine of the supercharger when i hit the gas really hard. Suspension on these cars is amazing especially when it comes to aftermarket parts. This car is pretty fast with stage II pulley and Meth injection.
