i've driven a few cobalts, from down and dirty rentals to ss models. i agree with the interior being bad, but the car is not all bad.
and the ss supercharged cars are downright fun, so the turbo promises to be much more so. ...and i really wish ford had something small with some real horsepower.
isn't that what sporty cars are supposed to be? cheap fun? think back about 40 years...all those cars we revere now were stripper versions of popular cars with big engines. the mustangs and camaros and firebirds and chevelles and gto's. most had crappy interiors and all everyone cared about was a gas pedal, a shifter, and what was under the hood.
i know this isn't the 60's anymore, but lets put a fun little car into perspective.
