Replying to: aladdinsane (May 24, 2009 10:25 am) What I don't like about the front seat cushion is that there to short resulting in thigh pain (in my case) on long distance drive but in revenge you have enough leg room to change position once in a while, it helps a bit. But you'll get used to it. Yes, the Cobalt came out in 2005 and already changing it's name, what a shame. Like you said...lets call it the Cobalt again for a couple of years and improve it instead. CRUZE what a idiotic name. I really can't understand G.M. People like the Cobalt as it is, it's popular and a good seller and G.M. is changing everything again...the name, the body. They really want to be in trouble. Did you see the Chevrolet "Orlando" (suv / van) coming out in 2011 ? Another ridiculous idea of G.M.

Replying to: laserblue (May 24, 2009 4:49 pm) I thank you for your reply. I appreciate it! I hope to hear from other owners here too concerning their experience with Cobalt's front seat comfort. The General's suits should have re-thought the Cobalt too and continued with the line, improving it and making it a class leader, instead of starting with a whole new replacement line. If it ain't broke don't fix it. But no...If if ain't broke throw it out and start fresh with something new, untried and maybe untrue, if you get my drift. Little wonder G.M's in trouble. I agree: change is good...but I also believe that good change can come in evolution...improving what is, and keeping with it until it's beyond "just right"...much like VW did with its original Beetle (R.I.P)...Am I making sense? I hope so. Again, many thanx... Peace!<-AladdinSane<-  -

Replying to: dispencer2 (May 24, 2009 8:18 am) The Cobalt was a fine little car, and I can't believe GM is even THINKING about discontinuing it. I just felt like it was time to move on to something that would last about a gazillion miles and get great gas mileage. I think the Yaris fits the bill very nicely, and I am having lots of fun driving it. I have kept up with my gas mileage on every fill-up so far, and the overall average MPG is 37.07. Not too bad, huh? That little car is really fun to drive, even though it doesn't come close to having the acceleration of the Cobalt. I have moved from a compact to a sub-compact, so I realize that there are some sacrifices to be made in order to gain on fuel economy. As far as looks, I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say. I like the looks of the Yaris sedan just fine. I'm not crazy about the looks of the hatchback "Yarii." I'm happy with the Yaris, but I would recommend the Cobalt to anyone for a compact car. Tom

Replying to: poncho167 (May 29, 2009 7:17 am) I still say it's idiotic, ridiculous and shameful to name a car that you can't even find the word in the dictionary.

Replying to: laserblue (May 29, 2009 4:23 pm) I didn't care for the Cobalt name either but it grew on me as I figured. The Cavaliar name was a good one.
