    "Didn't feel comfortable riding in this one"

    by acurapah on May 13, 2006

    Pros: Comes in nice colors

    Cons: Feels too small

    Summary: I was given one of these as a loaner when my own car was being serviced. There was no mistaking this car for my Acura. I've driven a number of small cars, mostly with manual transmission. I always felt comfortable in those Nissan or Honda products, but I sure didn't feel that way with this Chevy.

    One thing that really bothered me was the placement/height of brake pedal. It seemed as though the gas pedal was so low and the brake was too high. The first time I went to brake my foot banged into the side of the brake pedal and I had to lift my foot to reach the top of the pedal. It scared me a bit since I didn't know if I had enough time to relocate the pedal. Therefore everytime I had to brake I had to really concentrate on my foot action to get my foot on top of the pedal. Perhaps I'd get used to this or the pedals could be adjusted, but I was uncomfortable and didn't feel safe.

    I don't think I'd ever seriously consider buying this car. Besides the brake pedal issue, it just felt too small on the road with all the big SUV's. And I think for just a little more money, based on the MSRP, you can get an entry level Honda Civic.
