+1.  I'm not a huge fan of the Cobalt at all, but there are definitely worse interiors out there.  I think the vast majority of Chrysler's shit is worse.  The Dodge Avenger I was in not long ago was ten times worse.

This is true.  Chrysler has blown it for a long time in the interior design dept.  Even the new Challenger suffers from it.

Just the obvious panel gaps were unacceptable in my mind, never mind the shitty, hollow feel to everything in the cabin, paired with an unattractive and boring interior design.  I felt like I was riding in a giant plastic toy bin.

The design isn't bad. It's the build and materials quality is where they fail.

Yes and no... part of the issue I saw was lines where you had two dash panels with the same texture meeting up.  This is most obvious to my memory in the center console.  In a way this could have been designed better by using a different texture for the radio surround.  But you know... otherwise you're right the general materials quality is not good.

I'm not that picky when it comes to interiors.  Really, I'm not.  There are interiors that have impressed me.  There are interiors that disgusted and infuriated me. 

The Cobalt SS/SC did neither.  I don't see where the problem is.  It's not a Rolls Royce.  Get over it.

BTW, our Cobalt LS had a 3-spoke steering wheel.  I just wanted to correct that.  I think all Cobalts do now.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

She'll hate diesel passenger cars, all things Ford, and fiat currency.  They will masturbate to old interviews of Ayn Rand an youtube together.

I should hope a certain someone has bought himself a C30 T5.

HEY MARK, THE C30 TAKES THE IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK.  YOU SHOULD REALLY BUY IT.
