Default New Car.

I recently got a new car. My husband wanted to replace the one that I lost a couple of years ago.

Its a 2009 Chevy Cobalt,it has leather seats and seat warmers. I have also bluetoothed my cell phone into the car.

When I drive and have my phone with me it automatically picks it up. If I get a call it rings over the radio and I push a button on the steering wheel to answer. NICE.

The car cost us $13,000 in all. I am making larger payments to get it paid off quickly.

The auto insurance company that we chose also surprised me as I have an 800 number to call for roadside service.

It is surprising what great deals you can find when you choose to take the time to look around.

I like the idea of being able to bluetooth your cellphone into your radio. I am one person that wont drive and talk on my cell. I consider it very dangerous.

Getting it paid off quickly is also a big plus. Kudos to you for doing this.

And what about Car Fax? Did they let you do this or do it for you before buying the car?

Nice

From what I've heard, the Colbalt is a great car. Very reliable. In case some people didn't know, the Colbalt replaced the Cavalier when GM retired that line, and they picked up right where they left off in regards to quality.

I have an older Cavalier ('98) that has over 148,000 miles on it and it's still running strong. I think it'll run at least another 148,000 miles.

My friend is a Ford fanatic, but I'm a GM man myself. They produce some very solid cars & trucks.
