Any you don't want the LT with the 1.8 L.
Timing belt instead of timing chain that needs to be replaced at 100k miles.
I'm hearing from yourcobalt.com Cruze section that it's $1,200 to get the belt replaced.

Engine damage possible if the belt breaks.

I'm thinking the only reason that they don't have a 6 speed manual on the 1.4T is cause it would get better mpg ratings, then they couldn't as easily charge an extra $2,500 for the Eco version.
