I'd drive one of these, not my favorite GM compact car, I like the Cobalt a bit more, but I wouldn't say, no, I wouldn't drive this, I would. People hate these because the build quality, like you stated, isn't as good as a Hond/Toyota, but they're good cars. I don't see these very often anymore, but would like one. I also, don't hate anything, except also for the Ford Ecosport.
