Hello, I'm new, and I have questions...

Gotta disagree with you there, Rabbit. If he test drives an 08+ turbocharged model (comes with seriously upgraded FE5 suspension from the factory) he won't like the aveo afterwards.

Obviously the SS is a "different" car than the standard base line econo box. And I drove an SS i find the aveo more fun because its like a go cart. I can't quite describe the cobalt. For what it is, its not a balanced as say a GTI or something, but is much better than the mitsubishi or neon rt.. I guess with the HP and cost I would prefer an AWD car like wrx or an audi... or even an r32.

Both WRX and Audi in the same year and mileage as the Turbo Cobalt I ended up picking up were easily $8-10K more than the cobalt. I got an 08 with 54K miles, clean title and extended warranty through GM (cost me $50 to transfer it into my name from original owner) and I paid $12K... 08 R32 was at least $18K, with lower miles easily over $20K.. Same story with STI and even higher price tag with Audi.

AWD would have been nice though. On a side note, are you actually considering selling your Aveo for 6K?!
