My husband is getting me a 2007 cobalt ss in a week or so!!what an awesome first car right???! So excited but after reading a bit I've realized this is a car that needs much love money and time. Should I reconsider a 2009 aveo right about now? Haha....can't wait to see my brother's reaction when he sees that my baby can keep up with his 2012 camaro, the difference is that we are getting our car cash and he still has a long way to go with his payments for what is now the previous model...

yea bumpy roads are a b**** but as far as my clutch, i didnt really notice a difference in pedal and it just grabs a lot quicker, so there is no easing into first lol. its just grab and go.
