Advantages of the 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt:
- Supercharged SS model promises to be lots of fun to drive
- Optional side-curtain airbags
- Available traction control

Editor's Advice:
Our initial impressions: styling is spot on; interior design and ergonomics are well executed; the SS Supercharged model sounds promising; refinement and competence of mechanical package remains to be proven; occupant comfort levels are unknown.
