for insurance n gas purposes, is it a good buy?

 

Ask your wallet if it can afford about $500-$600 a month on Insurance and Car Payment.

Gas a month assuuming your a good driver and stay out of boost often you will find yourself paying about $150-300 a month on gas if your like me.



Your call on the car, it's fun but keep those figures in mind.

 

Humh...No!!! It has the worst gas mileage and highest insurance rate of all the Cobalt models.

The Cobalt SS/SC is purely a passionate purchase, not one for the reason of economical budgeting.

Does a Ferrari Enzo make a practical, everyday car for the inner-city driving experience?

 

i dunno guys, the car doesnt seem that expensive, it does 38highway and 27 city
thats more then cavaliers
and i have a cavalier

 

not sure if your basing those #'s off of km's per gallon or mpg but mpg those aren't right. I'm lucky I can get maybe 26 miles to the gallon on the highway.

 

That would be the 2.2L not the SS/SC version... The SC gets like 19/23? or somthing to that effect.

 

I just meant from a practical stand point, no. You can get cars that are cheaper, mor fuel efficient, and less to insure. That said, it gets very good economy from the engine, especially considering the power. If you have been driving for a while, and your record is clean, most peoples insurance will be reasonable.

If you are asking if the car is a good value, then I would say yes.

Go test drive one, and see what you think. Also, consider the 2.4L SS. It is cheaper and has heated seats, and nicer wheels. Just do more personal research before you buy anything.

 

im 26, 3 tickets prior 2 p/u of 06 & pay a little less than $250/ month full coverage. my observed fuel economy has been al ittle more than 10 litres/100kms. city & hwy. mostly normal driving. lmao!

in general its an expensive car that ive yet 2 regret buying! prem. gas is def. worth it


ps... will b gting a new quote this week for insure. (1st tix comes off mid mar.) also i pay 6 month up front... insure. companies charge more if u pay monthly or even every 3 month & some r sneaky enuf not 2 tell u!

OUCH!!!!!!! that f'in blows!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i dunno guys, seems odd, ppl here in toronto that have them can afford them and their broke
im doing good formyself
i think ill get it because im in love with the car, i drove it many times from my friends
and i cant stop obsessing

 

ITS WORTH EVERY PENNY!

 

Maybe thats why thier broke?

 

In mpg, I average 22.8 over all. I do about 50/50 city/highway driving. And that's a lil spirited at times.

 

just buy it. overall you'll be very happy

 

LOL--there is no such offical measurement as KM per gallon. A winow sticker in Canada
displays Litres per 100kms and CDN Mpg. Plus our rating system for this is more lieniant and optomistic.

For the S/C SS it is 28 / 39. You might get 28 (Canadian remember) is you really baby it
but I really doubt you'd ever get 39mpg.

 

My total cost to own mine every month is around $530 after gas and insurance, its really not that bad.

 

I spend about 120 per month on gas with 94 octance and doing mostly city driving.

I love my car.....

 

gas and insurance im paying 600 a month...but my insurance sucks because i have 2 cars...so im probably around the 530 range as well as far as cost....gas i really havent used much...cars been tied up for 2 months already so havent really driven a whole helluva lot. but yes from the driving i have done the milage per gallon is HORRIBLE....and with the high octane gasoline prices it gets a bit nuts...dont plan on taking any long trips....i think a trip to avalon nj from riverhead (4 hr drive) sucked out a whole tank of gas there and a whole tank back (or close to it)

 

I don't get bad Highway miles. But around town lets say I drive... Spirited, hence my Careless driving Ticket yesterday. But on the highway home from Albany , ny. I got about 33 at 80mph with the cruise set.

 

Ouch it only took me 1 1/2 tanks to get from Detroit to Toronto. DAMN WOMEN DRIVERS !!!! J/K

 

thanks a lot for all ur spirited influence, im gettin the car regarldess, im a law major, i work at the keg and a law office im making good money for a 19 year old, so i can afford it
thanks much appreciation

 

My car and insurance payment is around $400 per month. You can get 32mpg hwy @ 65mph, and 25-27mpg driving real nicely in town. I usually get 19-21 mpg city, and 27-28 highway. I say get it if you can!

 

i average 9.0/100 km which is like 30 mpg on my ss/sc

 

ya that makes more sense dood

 

Well id like to start by saying i pay $433.00 a month for insurance and 385.00 a month for my car. so i am really being raped... im 19 and have one accident no tickets... nada! Luckily i have a decent job otherwise i would never be able to afford it...i pay a total of 820 a month for my car and i havent eatn in 8 months, pretty much scince i got my car!
