Do you regret not having the highrise?

I have mixed opinions about it...

Personally, I'm glad I have the low rise myself...I like being able to see out the rear view mirror...that plus I feel like the high rise is an instant cop magnet...

I have the high rise, I don't really like it because it obstructs the rear view.

I don't know what you're talking about. The standard low spoiler blocks much of my rearward vision. At least if I had the tall one I could see under it better.

Rearward vision in general on the Cobalt is not the best due to my height and the high rear parcel shelf, but I hate how the low spoiler cuts right across my line of sight and blocks the front of most cars within a close following distance to the rear. But I wouldn't trade it for the world. Being able to fly below the radar is well worth it.

I almost want to delete it, but it is good for some downforce. Just a pain to look through

Downforce Come On....

1. It's FWD
2. It will only have some affect when you are going over 120mph minimum.. even then it's not like your going to lose traction...

downforce still affects how well the rear wheels are pressed on the road for grip. (whether they are spinning or not.) A rear wing on a RWD assists in traction, whereas on a FWD car it helps stability. depending on the car and conditions you have enough resistance at 75+ to use a wing. (Especially the giant high rise one.)

and these cars lose traction off the line anyways. even with the TC and ESC on.

a wing on the rear will not have any affect when launching the car

Now why won't a dealer order a car like that?? Except for color, that is exactly what I'm looking for. Every dealer here orders SSs with the dang sunroof and no LSD. Not looking to order........

I know, thats why I said 75+ MPH. These cars are designed for curves not drag strips.

Because dealerships are stupid... they don't realize that the person looking to buy the car will not be the average cobalt buyer... we actually know a thing or two about the car.

Disagree, I would say it's pretty damn good at both for how much you pay
