AWD FTW!
Torque Steer FTL!
At the end of the day, the cobalt is still P.O.S Chevy. My friend had an 07 SS Supercharged and the build quality was just absolutely horrible.
and btw. The Cobalt is most definitely not faster than the 09 WRX.

Sorry dude but you are wrong, perhaps you should research before you make statements?
Every test (MT, RT, CD) has had the Cobalt as the faster, better handling car. The only categroies the 09 WRX wins is it does have 5 more horsepower (but has to carry 300 extra pounds) and it will win out of the gate, benefit of AWD.
