This probably doesn't add much to this thread but I clicked on it because I didn't know what a Cobalt is (I'm in the UK). I looked at this image from the top :
and assumed it is a typical far east supplied GM product, but then I noticed the rear door line - hmm, that looks familiar :
The 1998 Vauxhall Astra / Opel Astra from Europe. Turns out these are the same car underneath. I have to say Chevrolet managed to make it look much better on the outside, not something you can normally say about the US editions of "world cars".
If they have the same interior then I agree it is really poor - well built, but not very nice to look at and doesn't feel in any way special or comfortable.
Unfortunately the looks killed that model here so the second-hand values are really low even for the super economical Diesels and the very rare "Euro 4" economy oriented models - which has been posted about here before.
Good car though
