I like the 2.2 power it takes off when you need to. It's a good little car. The tires that came with the car were the worse. After replacing the stock "continental tires" with potenza G 009. It handled much better.
I just purchased a 2006 Chevy Cobalt a few months back and left comments under a new thread for that. I just felt it necessary to respond to this thread.
Before purchasing the Cobalt I had a 1990 Honda Civic sedan that had 260,000 miles on it. The car still ran great. Besides some nuisance issues, ie., inside trunk latch broke, seatbelt light flashed, etc. I did not have any mechanical problems with the car. I got 40 miles to the gallon and never needed to add any oil. I sold it to a guy I work with and he currently drives it an hour to work each day.
I also own a 2002 Toyota Sienna van that I purchased a couple years ago and it currently has 70,000 miles on it. The van has had a few things go wrong with it since I purchased it. The drivers side sliding door occasionally fails to latch shut (dealership couldn't find anything wrong) and the passenger side headlight fails to come on occasionally.
Although I have had the Cobalt only a few months I like the car a lot. The gas mileage is decent (38-40 miles on the highway), enough room in the back for three children, ages 9 months - 6 years, huge trunk for a small car and there have been no problems yet and I am currently at about 6000 miles. From what I read it seems most of the problems occur around the 10,000-15,000 mile range, so I am holding my breath.
Just my two cents.
