Based on my week with a rental Cobalt - the steering in that car won't pass muster - and while the look of the interior is very good - the materials they use are a big letdown (more leftover Playskool plasticy bits ; -).
Plus 260 HP through the front wheels (and no LSD that I'm aware of) will exhibit plenty o' torque steer (like found when driving a Saab Viggen ; -). I had a chance to drive the Focus FR200 a few years back and I described coming out of corners in that thing as, "being the toy at the end of a length of string being tugged on by a deranged three year old." Simply squirrely!!
