Amen, Laserblue...!!!
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<- -

Karl:
 
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

Cruze is an idiotic name? You must not like the majority of auto names if you think this is bad.

The majoriy of car names aren't embarrassing.
Cruze is embarrassing.

Embarrasing how. Have you really thought this through or are you just upset that the Cobalt is being replaced.

They can't even spell it right. How can they build it right?
  I still say it's idiotic, ridiculous and shameful to name a car that you can't even find the word in the dictionary.

A lot of cars out their with worse names and not in the dictionary. Would something like G38 or C220 be better? Give me a name not a number.
 
I didn't care for the Cobalt name either but it grew on me as I figured. The Cavaliar name was a good one.

I got lots of laughs (and still do) every time I mention that I've been rear ended last year by a "Probe" and I got badly hurt.
  A "Ford Probe" that is.
  I bet it made you laugh to?

I drive my LT Coupe regularly to Ft. Worth -6.5 hours - and have had no problem with the seat and my back. On the other hand my 06 Impala LT had a worse seat. My back was hurting after an 8 hour trip to Colorado.

You will probably get a lot of service out of it. I routinely get around 23 in town with the Cobalt and have gotten 41 on one of my road trips where I kept the speed down to around 63-65. Normally I get 38 and 39. I especially like the fact that the Cobalt seats don't hurt my back on long trips. The seats in my 06 Impala did. My basic problem with the Yaris was the fact that the seat didn't go back far enough. I'm not crazy about Toyotas except for the Avalon. They seem to have a stiff performance ride. GM cars are more comfortable and familiar.
