Summary: So far no problems. Actually love this little car. Never had to buy a car out of necessity before, but this was a good buy. No frills. Only option was the wing on the back. Averaging 38 mpg with a best instant mpg of 46 on the highway at just over 55 mph. The XFE model of the Cobalt gets better mpg than the standard LS model though.
Strengths: Comfort, ride, visibility, gas mileage. I also like the mechanic friendly design of replace when worn out parts.
Weaknesses: None yet.

Summary: I shopped around for every car in this class and this was the best value. This car is very smooth and quite. The schedule maintance is great. Nothing has to be done untill 100K except oil changes. I have put a Weapon R Intake and custom exhaust already. This car is actually quite powerful for what it is. This car has lots of cargo room. I bought the base LS with CC and that is it. For the price that included low jack, Immobilizer, and extended 60K warranty. Very happy with this car.
Strengths: Price, Cluster Guages, Smooth, Electric Steering, Good Low to Midrange Torque,
Weaknesses: Wieght, Ride hieght

Summary: It's actually a 2007, but 2006 was the highest I can pick from the dropbox. Anyway, I've been wanting this car for so long, and I'm finally happy to own one. It's a very beautiful compact car, and I just love the features. It tells me my oil quality, average speed, average miles left till I fill up my tank, exterior temperature, etc. It also comes with XM radio which I'm sure I'll subscribe to when the months are up. I've heard nothing but good things about this car. Ridiculous speed isn't a problem for me since I'm not a street kid who wants to race and customize my car. My car is silver without a spoiler, so I'm looking forward to adding one soon. I'm in love with my new baby.
Strengths: It's too early to complain about them, but from previous owners, they told me this car is reliable and durable. It's beautiful inside and out, and it rides as smoothly as butter.
Weaknesses: None at all.
Similar Products Used: I've had a 2002 Taurus and that was also a great car. I just wanted to switch to a smaller one.
