Daily driver good gas mileage car. I did put FE3 control arm bushings in it when the super soft FE1 bushings failed. Does that count?

The SS/NA 2.4 is a good looking car cheap on gas and has that kick there when you need it. Which is why I picked it over the TC or SC

Also the 2.4 was better than the base model and cheaper to buy than a SC or TC and cheaper on insurance. I got it to get around not race around.

I didn't even know there were boosted models when I bought mine. Another reason is idk how to drive a standard. But I get close to 400 miles to a tank when I'm traveling long distance.

Alyssa you can learn. It's easy. I mean, I can do it, right? Gives you way more choices when you get your next car.

Everyone spells It wrong. And I drove a ss/tc cobalt in a parking lot and I didn't like it. I prefer to drive an automatic.

I love having the manual in the Cobalt, but hopping in the Colorado and not having to worry about shifting is refreshing every once in a while.
