If you’re looking for a small car with an upscale interior, a smooth ride and an All-American nameplate, the 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt is a worthy alternative to the Ford Focus. The Cobalt is also easy on gas, a key point of interest for many new car shoppers.
If you’re looking for a small car with a big back seat, the Cobalt can’t compare to the Dodge Caliber or Scion xB. The Cobalt’s engine is a bit coarse and its exhaust note is even louder.
