I would have kept the cobakt if it was AWD but it depreciated so much in value in the little year and half i had it that it felt right to get rid of it at the time i did, even with it being turbo and kinda rare and the interior was just trash and i just fell in love with the look of the mustang inside and out and the shifter in the cobalt was CRAP!!!

The interiors on those cobalts were some of the worst ever. They basically found the cheapest plastics they could, and slapped them on in typical domestic (oldschool) fashion... That didn't fly with a lot of reviews, and people who bought them.
I had a friend with a N/A 2.4 model, and he told me how for ~24K you would expect at least a little more effort from GM in that department... He literally had the dash trim paint peeling, the key would get stuck in the ignition for no reason, and he (later) found his entire front end to be misaligned. We're talking the front bumper and grill never sat flush, and the headlights were also unevenly gapped.
Fast car. Bad daily driver, but it's worth mentioning that some of them can look really nice.

wow, how is that even a topic??
i wouldn't wanna be caught dead in a piece junk like a cobalt even if its twice as fast as my mustang, same for subaru and co.
i must admit that i feel similar about v6's. i'd rather drive a mustang II v8.
a camaro v8, a vette, a challenger, a mustang v8, of any age these are decent to great cars, the rest is ok for basic transportation.
too much coffee

Cobalt-starting it on fire would be a blessing for that car
Mustang-'nuff said.
I've owned plenty of GM cars and driven plenty more. I wouldn't touch the Cobalt even if you gave it to me, brand new, for free.
