DONT GET THE BASE IT SUCKS!!!!! The base radio on a cobalt is better distorts when you put the volume up. I have a whole thread on it.

Just listen to the voice prompts when using bluetooth on a 2007 vs. 2010 and you'll hate the 2010 base audio. On the 2007 the prompts sound pretty realistic. On the 2010, it's like being on the phone with your bank's automated teller. Problem is, I bet many bought the 2010 without noticing the poor stereo. On the CPO market, I'd avoid 2010 & 2011 in the future unless they have the HK system (which is unlikely- I've found few to none with it in my area). 2011's may be more likely to have it since they figured out how bad the base system had become. 2009 still a good CPO.
