They are half decent cheap performance, but I just couldnt ever drive one. It does have an indepent rear suspension, which is completely unrespectibal for something you are trying to sell for performance. Wait for the Sky redline, now that should be respectiable. Have to reviews about it though.

My friend picked up a cobalt SS... hes got close to 40,000 KM's on it now.
It has honestly been nothing but problems... hes had it in the shop for non-maintenance related issues 8 times to date!

they are essentially the same except for the looks. In head to head track test the Ion was just a tiny bit better than the cobalt because the 18" rims are just too big for that car/suspension. But really dont buy either, and if you want GM wait a bit and something very similar this the Opel Astra will be in place for 2008, so next fall. And the "redline" if thats what they call it will probably be a lot like whats below (might wait till 2009 too GM hasnt said anything about the perf model).

Thats what you get for buying GM. They only make rental cars, so getting one for daily driving is your own fault. I hate how some people still swear by chevy. They never have cars.
I have had only 2 things with my car go wrong in 60000 miles. Starter went, covered under warranty. Front strut (still at garage) and also covered under a warranty.

Most people with GM cars I know have had problems by 40,000 miles. I had the starter at 65,000 miles. The strut was at about 71,000.
But a friend with a GM has gone through 2 engines before 50,000, and he babies it! AHAHAHA!

And they should bring Open and Vauxhall here (although I can't spell them correctly) and leave them as they are. No american GM touches. Cause those cars are great.
Too bad in the US we get the crappy GM products only, and a lot of them.

exactly. the domestics can make great trucks, if you are looking for something heavy duty, but the import trucks (tundra, titan) are more than enough for most people. and when it comes to cars, out of the endless domestic models, theres only a handful of good ones.

Meh, it's just the quality of builds in the US that ****s up American brands. GM and Ford are both doing great worldwide cuz their products are high quality. Build correctly! I mean, GM is taking the Pontiac GTO off the lists but still producing the Holden/Vauxhall Monaro? Cmon! Stupid.
