I've got a Cobalt, and I LOVE it....honestly. For the price I paid, and the driving I do...this car is fantastic. Regularly get over 30mpg in mixed driving, it handles competently and rides smooth. Engine/road noise is quiet, and all the interior controls are easy to use. Acceleration is brisk, and cargo/passenger room is exceptional (based on my uses, and opinion). The steering is also electrically boosted, so it's variable: At low speeds (or at a stop), you can turn the wheel from lock-to-lock with your pinkie. At highway speeds, it's less-assisted and as a result it goes arrow-straight if you "let go" of the wheel.
There is ONE little hiccup with it, that I've noticed in 2 years of ownership. The HVAC fan ticks at the lowest speed setting. Nothing loud and obnoxious...it just ticks (a little louder than a clock). Turn on the radio or turn up the fan speed, and it goes away.
Fantastic little car, and I reccomend it to everyone looking in the segment. A friend of mine bought one (with my nudging), and my girlfriend has one. Both share my opinions on the vehicle.
