hey yall im 19 yrs old turning 20 and i want to buy a new car and i have been thinkin about the cobalt ss supercharger but i have been hearing that the cobalt has a lot of probelms so i was wondering if you guys could tell me what major problems does the cobalt have...

 

i don't have any problems.

you'll be needing a used one, as they are soon to be out of production.

 

do it. get the ss/sc!

 

you could always get the 2.4 ss and put a turbo on it....otherwise the ss/sc is the best choice

 

i see on this site that a lot of ppl have problems with it like the lauching it nd stuff

 

If you can drive....you will figure out how to launch it

 

the only thing i dont likle about the cobalt is that it has a big ass steering wheel would it be possible for me to change it into somethin a lil smaller ?

 

big ass steering wheel?!?!?! lol what have you been driving?

or are you just to used to the Xbox steering wheel....?

 

i used to drive the 2002 dodge durango r/t nd it had a small steering wheel compared to the cobalt tho ... anywayz what would be the 1st thing i should to get it quick nd cheap ?

 

the steering wheel is tiny on these cars. Go try and find a steering wheel cover that fits...good luck.

 

the search button is your friend.

this site is bursting with information on how to get quicker.

 

thats cause they don't know how to drive.... inexperience..

a 3" pulley = $60 and probably 15whp

 

I would recommend buying the car to go with it

 

-to the O.P. - he's saying that you made a mistake.. It is called the Cobalt SS Supercharged

 

go check out the new SI its quick, nice and hella reliable

 

the only problem my Cobalt has is for me to stop driving it... i love this car.

but not fun to drive. you have to be revving it high all the damn time to feel anypower out of it..

 

at leace it dosnt go boom LOL

 

ive had no problems with mine at all

 

you should read some of the honda forums
as much as they'd never admit it they have problems just like every other car.

 

It goes boom when people think putting more heat and pressure in their engine is a good thing.

 

The only reason why it seems like the car has a lot of problems is because people don't post everyday saying that everything is working fine. They only post when they have a problem, so it seems like stuff is always breaking, when in actuality it's not. You get the same feeling by going to any car forum. All we talk about is going faster or fixing whatever broke in the process.

PS-I would not recommend this car if you have never driven a stick before. Due to a very sticky clutch, a tall first gear, and the supercharger it can be very finicky if you don't really know what you're doing.

 

Won't he need a tune as well?

 

i donno man, ive been having nothing but problems.....

 

That's cause your car was built on a friday afternoon.

It looks like you have 2 other friends w/ SS/SC's, how are theirs holding up? Generalizing car problems is not good for the car's rep.
