What's your favorite thing about your Cobalt?

I did a search and didn't see this topic so here it goes. What is your favorite thing about your Cobalt, or Cobalts in general? Personally I love the spoilers, both the high rise and the low one. On my LT the low wing just gives it an amazing sight-line on an already beautiful car. So what's your favorite part of your car?

I like the SS bumpers/ side skirts and the simplicity of the interior straight to the point

The sleeper aspect - It's just a Cobalt, until I publicly humiliate the guy in his fancy BMW, then he gets butt hurt and wont look at you at the next red light!!!

I honest like everything about it besides little stuff that goes wrong. I don't see how people hate on the ss it's a sweet looking car. I have a 06 Lsj and I can't think of another car I would get from 06 lol oh and how many other 4 banger supercharged cars out there?

Fun to drive factor, and the questioning look on peoples face when they ask what it is and get confused when you tell 'em its a cobalt.

The pops and gurgles it makes downshifting or blipping the throttle.

Even though mine isn't very modded due to financial reasons, I love how relatively cheap it is to mod these cars--- specifically, the LNF.
There aren't many other cars you can pull an extra 50-100 whp for less than $500. I remember when I had an S2000, it would've cost $1000+ just to draw out ~20 whp with full bolt-ons. If I wanted more power, I had to spend upwards of $6k for a supercharger or turbocharger kit, which were mostly unreliable.
You put full bolt-ons on the Cobalt SS and get a nice tune, you're pushing close to 400 whp for less than you'd pay to get those numbers out of most other cars.
And speaking of S2000s, our cars (between 2850-3000 lbs) only weigh ~150 lbs more (curb weight) than a stock S2K (2700-2850 lbs)! And we have more space for everything. Kind of mind boggling, no?
We're also able to make our cars look fantastic with just some ******* plastidip doing the Evo mod! lol That's pretty awesome to me.

I also wanna add I agree with the sleeper comments. Our cars get overlooked like crazy by ******* who think, "It's just a Cobalt with a turbo," all while jerking off to an Impreza/Lancer with a turbo, aka the WRX STi or Evo.

I had a conversation that went exactly like this:

Friend 1: If you're going to make it in time you need to leave now, you drive a Cobalt not a Ferrari.

Friend 2: Yeah you drive a 4 cylinder thinking it's all that.

Me: You know *****'s WRX is a 4 cylinder right?

Friend 2: Well it's a WRX it's supposed to be fast.

I just left right after that.

Okay yeah this is probably my least favorite thing about the car seen. Not many people know much about cars. They think 350z is faster than a turbo Balt lol. Funny

oooOOOooohh a blue LSJ so special

After all these years my favorite thing is still probably the supercharger whine. Either that or the simplicity which has too many factors to really be a single favorite thing.
