Not really sure why people hate the interior. On this 2007 I couldn't find any flaws with it. Feels solid and well put together. Plenty of room as well. I'm a big guy, and it was quite comfortable. Heated leather seats are nice too.

Pretty low road noise as well. Took it up to 70 on the highway and it didn't sound bad at all. With the radio turned up to a normal listening volume (normal for most people, not quite as high as I listen to it) the only thing I heard was the exhaust. Someone put a custom exhaust on it.

I like the style as well. I think they look nice.

Maybe they've fixed some issues on the newer models, or the build quality is slightly better on the GT. Handling was good. Acceleration was good too. When you floor it it feels more like a V6 than 4-cyl.

Add in the fact that they have the turning radius of a large truck I'll agree with that. Its kind of awkward to park it. I've parked worse, but its definitely different than my sunfire, or my wife's alero. But during normal driving it feels fine. I took it down a few roads, made a u-turn, and took it through a meijer parking lot.

I think I like it. I tried to find faults with it, but I couldn't. The handling was better than expected, acceleration was better than expected, and I couldn't find any problems with the interior. Plus the thing is loaded. All the options like sat radio, heated seats, dimming mirrors, built in garage door opener, blue-tooth.

The only things I'd probably change are the seats. I'd make them a little more contoured or something. Like the sporty cloth seats you find in a ricer rather than these classic looking leather seats.. but I guess that's part of the retro look.
