"A Nice "Little" Car"
Pros: Appearance, Interior Design, Ease of Operation, Ride
Cons: Slightly awkward handling, Economy
Summary: I've rented this car twice. This is GMs smallest US-made car, but it is no longer exactly, err.....small (3000 lbs). Appearance is improved over the Cavalier. Power is reasonable. The seats seem too flat to be comfortable at first, but actually work pretty well on long drives. Handling is not as crisp as on "competitor" Corolla -- although at list price the cost will exceed my Camry ($19,000). It feels solid on the road. At lower speeds noise is well-controlled, but at freeway speeds it is somewhat excessive (but not excessive for smaller cars.) Gas mileage is a little disappointing. I was getting about 27 on mostly highway driving. I like having the knobs, switches and dial in familiar places. Engine noise on acceleration seems more muted than other other hard working fours. The more expensive model has a lot of "fancy" touches. (Power mirrors, intermittant wipers, oil change indicator, rack & pinion steering, front struts, cruise, power windows, front pretensioners, keyless entry) But, all in all, I would consider it a very good car. Personally, I'd probably choose it over the crisper handling Focus or Mazda.
