I am not crazy about mine.
Have taken it back because it sputters when started cold.
They say they can't hear it and they can't find any problem.

The standard radio SUCKS!

After going on a drive of a couple of hours, your arms get sore from holding them straight out to reach the wheel.
I have short legs and still have to put the seat back from the pedals.

You can't see the instument panels unless its really sunny. They're deeply recessed and not lit unless you drive with the lights on.

No light around the cigarette lighter or in the ashtray.
You can't use the ashtray if the cup holder is open.

I know, I know I know, I should have investigated the car more thoroughly but I was in a hurry... (my other car died)
It was all I can (barely) afford.

I regret buying it. I should have bought a used Toyoya or VW.
Oh yeah, It has the feature where you have to lock the drivers side door with a key from the outside..
Sounds like a good idea, unable to lock your keys in the car..
but try standing in the rain with groceries fumbling with the key.

My dad has one, and it's pretty good. He replaced his '91 metro with it though, so just about anything is a big step up from that. The trouble is the milage. His only gets about 32, and that's solid highway miles. That's really bad for a vehicle that size, since a cobalt gets better than that. The dealer hasn't been able to help at all.
