Replying to: texas_ford_guy (Jan 05, 2005 7:35 am) The Cobalt only resembles the Cavalier on the exterior. The interior is light years ahead of the Cavalier and it rides on the Delta platform shared by the ION and the 5 speed manual transmission comes from the Saab 9-3 Replies to this message: gmoudy (Jan 05, 2005 3:44 pm) npgmbr (Feb 08, 2005 5:55 am) gmoudy (Feb 15, 2005 2:20 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: npgmbr (Jan 05, 2005 7:54 am) I don't know what you are looking at, but there is a difference in looks, both interior and exterior, between the Cavalier and the Cobalt. Looking at the interior of the Cobalt, it looks like a Ford interior. I think the interior of the Cavalier is laid out better.      Also, the interior of the Cobalt is smaller in size.

#13 of 76 Saw the Cobalt SS at the auto show by kevin111 Feb 07, 2005 (8:09 am)
Was quite impressed with the Cobalt SS. The car looks more substantial at the LA autoshow than just a beefed up compact. The interior looks light years over just about anything Chevy has done in years. The overall presentation of the car looks like a job well done. That, and Car and Driver says the car felt much more liveable and refined than other competitors (aka the Dodge SRT-4), it could be a big winner.   Now if the other Cobolts are done with the same degree of success, and GM can get the reliability of these cars to be somewhat close to the Japanese, then they might have something.   The recent recall of over 300K Focuses still makes me question their reliability.
#14 of 76 focus recall by lost Feb 07, 2005 (3:13 pm)
Dude, the focus recall is for rear door latches. I seem to remember a HUGE recall on Honda vehicles last week. The focus has had a VERY good record since 2002.

Replying to: gmoudy (Jan 05, 2005 3:44 pm) What are you talking about. Did you even read my post? I said the "Cobalt only resembles the Cavalier on the exterior" and I also said that "the interior is light years ahead of the Cavalier".   If you put a Cobalt and Cavalier next to eachother (without name tags) on a lot and asked someone who cares nothing about cars but knows of the Cavalier would most likely think the Cobalt is an updated Cavalier.   And as far as im concerned the interior of the Cobalt looks nothing like that of the Focus. Where the hell did you get that from? Replies to this message: gmoudy (Feb 15, 2005 2:20 am) npgmbr (Feb 15, 2005 9:30 am)

Replying to: npgmbr (Feb 08, 2005 5:55 am) I think you better read what I said. I stated the interior looks like a Ford not that it looks like a Focus. Replies to this message: npgmbr (Feb 15, 2005 9:30 am)

Replying to: gmoudy (Feb 15, 2005 2:20 am) In that case I guess an apology is in order. I'm sorry I thought you referred to the interior of the Focus.
#18 of 76 Focus redesigned by durability05 Mar 02, 2005 (7:18 pm)
My second Focus 4 door a ZX4 "S" is much improved over a 2000 4 door LX we owned several years ago. My wife always takes the car away from me, leaving me to drive her Honda Pilot EX-L sometimes. This redesigned Focus is the best low-end car around. Fun to drive , and with durable looking interior materials. As for the assembly gaps (low quality for some,or industrial strenght to me). Great car.
#19 of 76 Cobalt and Cavalier? by brookesmithey Mar 31, 2005 (9:54 pm)
The cobalt is not even remotely close in looks inside or out to the cavalier. I drove a cavalier, and chevy didn't even make the cobalt to be anything like a cavalier. The exterior has no resembalence to a cavalier, the back is much more square and the front has no comparison whatsoever. Comparing a cobalt to a cavalier is like comparing a civic and an accord - totally different shapes! Replies to this message: daniel10 (May 01, 2005 1:27 pm) cobaltls (Jul 14, 2005 8:01 pm)

Replying to: brookesmithey (Mar 31, 2005 9:54 pm) I would agree i own a cobalt and it is 10 time better than any cavalier it has more head room more horsepower as well as better interior . on looks issue i think it looks like a civic in the front .
