The turbo version is new so even if there are problems, its unlikely you will know about them yet. General rule is usually not to buy a car during its first release year, but I dont recall if this is the first or 2nd for the turbo cobalts rather than the supercharged ones.

Try to get some info from Consumer Reports
There should not be TOO many issues with the a t/c Ecotec. They did it in the Solistace GXP, as well as the the Sky Redline. Both were pretty awesome cars. This is the first year of the turbo cobalt though. Did the ss/sc as the first run, stopped for a year, and then the ss/tc was released this year.

Although with the turbo in '08... things may change, but I believe it's still the same chassis/suspension.

Why not a '08 GTI?
They made quite a bit of improvements over the 08 ss/tc then the ss/sc. Same chassis, but a lot of improvements over the last run of the ss/sc versions.

Looks good. When you are gonna start modding, check out cobaltss.net, and look into Hahn racecraft for some nice upgrades. What those guys have done for the GM Ecotec world is AMAZING
