Default Mustang or Cobalt SS?

Would you rather have a 2010 Mustang V6 Premium or a 2006 Cobalt SS? My friend keeps going on about how his car is faster but it feels like a cheap piece of junk. I would pick the mustang any day.

Haha this is funny, Last year at this time I traded my 09 cobalt SS Turbo which was pretty quick for my 10 Mustang GT premium 5speed fully loaded except for glass roof and nav, I can say this, I traded the cobalt in with 1,100 miles on it after having it for a year and a half(not my dd) and imo the mustang is just so much better interior wise, the cobalt felt like cheap rental plastic for the 26k I paid for it. MUSTANG FTW!

Which one? The supercharged or turbo?

Slower or not, I'd most likely take the '10, but you're going to get a pretty biased result here. The Colbalts just don't do anything for me

Coming from a former GM fanboy...I'd rather ride a bike every day than deal with another GM car.
They're a nightmare to work on compared to the Mustang.

The 2011 v6 comes stock with 305 HP at the crank. With a tune it will hang with a stock 4.6 gt. Why get something so small and cramped when the mustang is a better choice?

He said the 2010, which still has the 210hp 4.0

I like the rear wheel drive a lot better. i had a 07 ss supercharged. It was faster . Turned alot better. But i like the mustang better.

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!!!

my ex had one and i had to drive it from Idaho - Boston with her...it was fun but didn't do anything for me...plus it's so damn tiny and i HATE small cars...interior is cheap...i'd look for a 2010 GT, you can find one for a great price and have a little more fun good luck
