Just got it to work- impressive

I looked at one, but it was hit in the front and had electrical problems.

I won't rule it (SVT Focus) out but they are hard to find with low miles.

If you wanted something a little nicer than the cobalt you could go with a Saab 9-3. They have the same 2.0 turbo motor as the Cobalt/Sky/Solstice and are four doors with a nice interior. I picked up my 2006 last year with only 8,000 miles on it for less than 20k. I still have 20k miles of free scheduled maintenance from the factory. I get 26-28mpg around town with a heavy foot but on the highway I easily average 34-36 cruising at 75-80.

I'm also looking for a efficient dd. My top choices are civic, corolla, prizm or saturn sl/sc. Has to be manual. At first I wouldnt consider the saturns but if they run as good as mentioned above I just might get one. Saturn makes some of the ugliest cars I've ever seen, so dark window tint should be manditory.

In that class I would go with a Focus.
