Cobalt is not a sports car.

I like our wheels polished, especially in the case of the 17"... ideally you shouldn't waste your time with the 17 and just pick up a cheap set of 18" gunmetals and paint those black.

...what the hell is it? A Cobalt. Drive a sports car (Corvette, 350Z, etc.) and you will quickly discover the difference.

Defination of Sport Car
"–noun
a small, high-powered automobile with long, low lines, usually seating two persons."
or
"n. An automobile equipped for racing, especially an aerodynamically shaped one-passenger or two-passenger vehicle having a low center of gravity and steering and suspension designed for precise control at high speeds."

Accessed from here - http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sports+car

Compact car
"Noun 1. compact car - a small and economical car "
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/compact+car

Ours is the latter, not the prior.


OP: I'd pick which ever is easier to keep clean.
