just wondering how SS/TC owners like or dislike their cobalt. i've got a 2.4 right now and im lookin to get the TC. thanks.

 

I don't know yet all tell you in 1000000 years when it get's delivered

 

Well if you like your 2.4, then i'm pretty sure you will like the tc if you would like your car to be a bit quicker. The handling is much better on the tc as well.

 

i love mine!!!

it has its problems as im sure you have read around here, but thats why there is a warranty when needed...

im not disappointed at all!

 

Any larger pics of your 2.4??

 

i went 2.2 to TC and I dont regret 1 thing. It made driving 1,000 times more fun and people respect the TC alot more then they respect the 2.2 for shure. So now when I go to meets and **** I got one of the faster cars instead of the slow car trying to be quick.

These are cobalt meets btw

 

I love mine got her like two weeks ago and already got 1500 miles, no problems love it!!!!!!!! (knock on wood) lol

 

Definitely fun.

Only reason I ever hate it is for the same reasons most people would hate their Cobalt in general...other than that, worth it performance wise.

 

i like mine. id recommend it. its my first cobalt, actually my first car so i got nothing to compare it to but im glad i got it. youll like it im sure.

 

 

Like Gestapo I went from a 2.2 to the SS/TC. It feels like a completely different car, corners far better than my LS did and as said is just more fun overall to drive. That said, I have never driven a 2.4 so I can't speak on behalf of that, but if you're looking primarily for the performance boost then I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed.

Btw, nice 2.4, I've always liked black racing stripes on a white vehicle .

 

the clutch is ALOT different my clutch on my 2.2 is soft , I can engage it easy but the TC I just suck at , I only have about a year of driving stick under my belt and have only driven stick chevy's and a few eclipses but I just sucked at driving the TC but I was like that at first with my 2.2 so I am sure its just getting used to it, but I think itd take me while and I dont wanna hurt the car lol so I stuck with my 2.2 for the time being. maybe upgrading in the summer.

 

the tc is a pretty amazing car, all things considering. i think it brings alot of performance to the table, for its price range. ive owned a vette, modded ws6 etc, so its not like ive never owned a fast car. i really like the new ss/tc tho as it is a great DD that can also be a weekend/track car. mine will pull double-duty for me. i traded in my 05 ss/sc and i feel its a significant overall upgrade, even on the 05. im pretty sure you wont regret it. your current cobalt is very nice tho. good luck with your shopping, if you decide to make a purchase.

 

I went from an LS. It's a huge jump. The performance of the car is crazy. The acceleration and handling are well beyond what the little 2.2 or 2.4 are. I had a fully bolted and tuned 2.2, it was quick but not even near what my SS/TC is.

If you can find a wind damaged or slightly used one that's what I would do. I paid 18,250 for an 09 SS with 82 miles on it. I feel like I didn't get ripped off and love the car to death.

 

while i don't have a tc, i went from a 2.2 to a stage tuned 2.9 ss/sc, and damn, don't regret a thing. the extra power, handling, braking, everything about the car is so much better. you already havea cobalt, and you're looking for another, so if you like your car now, you'll LOVE your tc. if you can swing the payments, you won't regret your decision. i've been in 2.4's before, and it's going to be a pretty huge difference.

Hell no dont buy one. WHO the heel buys a Cobalt??? Seriously??? ha ha jk jk.. i love mine. had it for 4 months....12k miles..got it with 111. its fun and i have had no problems.....

 

It's like going from a Honda to a Cobalt

Sorry kidding around.

It's a totally different car, even if everyone around you thinks it "looks the same". I hear that every day. Things like " looks like you got your car repainted" are funny. I just grin and move on.

 

ya i get that too, only maybe worse cause both my 05 and the new one are red. lol

 

fun.

Correct, I should have mentioned this in my original post. Again, I haven't driven a 2.4, but the clutch on the SS/TC has FAR more push back (and engages far lower) than the one on my 2.2. There's still days I swear it's either on or off with no in between (but it's clearly just me having an off day ) and I find as it warms up I can hear the clutch plate meeting the flywheel no matter how smoothly I let it out. I don't THINK I'm hurting the plate or flywheel and was originally concerned I was harming the car, but I'm beginning to think more and more it's simply the way it's going to be and I should get used to it .

The car is a blast to drive, providing you have a nice stretch of road ahead cuz it's pretty quick. Some beg to differ but I own a black sedan and I love it's sleeper look, plus the fact that they're pretty rare.
Handling, braking & powertrain are very nice & it generally outperforms all stock sport compacts out there but the MS3. Level of features is ok too, make sure you get the LSD.
Things I don't like :
-rear brakes suck big time.
-overall fit and finish is definitely not class-leading (inside and out).
-ventilation is not very good.
-worrying suspension noises when cold

 

I love my SS/TC! Its an amazing car for the price.

 

I went from a 2.4 to a TC and it was a great decision. I love it.
