Cobalt's have always been my fav. car from the gecko and I've always wanted one...my friend ironically just bought a 07 Cobalt LS 5sd Blue, I drove it, and I must say, that lil' thing is quick! Compared to my dads 13 year old Chevy Lumina car that I used to drive all the time, the balt has a lot of quickness. I was very satisfied with the pick up and the torque, and it handled great! I can't wait until I purchase my Cobalt brand new I think I will have the dealership order me the GMPP exhaust and then I'll install it myself.

Its a great car, but I don't understand why people think they are so slow for? Obviously compared to the SS/SC they are, but us LS people, our engines revolved into your SS/SC engines. So if it wasn't for our ECOTEC's, there wouldn't be no boost coming from your Cobalt SS/SC's.

 

so the cobalt was ur favorite car from the gecko? pretty sweet if u ask me.. i want a gecko to give me a cobalt.

and thank god the 2.2 revolved into the 2.0--wonder how many times it turned around until it lost .2 liters???

hahahah im sorry, just bustin some chops

 

haha woops my bad, i meant evolved from...good catch

 

LMAO! YOUR ECOTEC, like U let the SS S/C PPL HAVE IT?? If it wasn't for GM, none of us would have it. And thankx to GM, we both have it.....

 

haha wtf you want a car from a gecko? lmao i still dont understand unless you mean "get go" hahahahahaha sry.

Naw but the 2.2 is a pretty decent little car, I like it, its quick enough to get me a few speeding tickets but so is my friends chystler sebring. Oh well lol youll love the car man.

 

i love my car, but im honestly slighlty disatisfied after almost a year with it.

 

Actually the 2.0 comes from the Saab and was out before the 2.2 ecotec. Just so you know, and othe rthen the Ecotec on top of the motor there is nothing the same.
Plus the first Cobalts made were SS/SC's!

 

the 2.2 is peppy, but i wouldn't go so far as to say it's fast. bolt ons really wake it up and give it a totally different feel than stock, but still, a fully bolted car running high 15's isn't what anyone would consider fast.

but, for what it is, it is fast.

 

I love the Cobalt. I've had my SS SC for almost a year now, and am extremley satisfied. Except for it is a FWD... i'm a super big RWD fan...
GO COBALT GO!

 

i think you mean "from the get go"?

and yah....LSJ actually doesnt have alot to do with evolving from the ecotec...but we get what your sayin its a peppy little commuter no doubt about it.

 

he means "getgo" not gecko

meaning he liked it from the start...

 

that is funny stuff, geckos handing out cobalts i love it

 

i meant "getgo" sorry i was half asleep...yeah the cobalt is a great car, when i shifted into second in my friends car coming hard outta first it spun the tires going about 25? im very pleased

 

What did they do, make a couple prototypes and then hide tham away somewhere? Based on what was available at dealers back in 2004, the 4-doors were made first. My dealers never saw their first coupes of any kinds until spring of 2005.

 

yeah for the $9500 i paid for mine its a quick car, i wouldve had to double that to get a used SS/SC

 

Where in the hell on God's beauftiful green earth did you get a New cobalt LS for 9500, and where you can get a SS/SC for 18k?

 

no offense but anything is quick compared to a 13 year old lumina. i came from a '91 cavalier z24, my ss/sc was like a rocket ship once i learned to use the clutch and shift properly.... hell, i held my own against a mustang with exhaust, so yeah, these things are quick! lol.

 

I have Geico Insurance and that little gecko didnt give me a damn thing...i feel cheated!!

 

i know, thats what i said it. and offense taken, its a POS

 

I got mine for $8,810 out the door after tax title and license with only 14 miles on it
I came from driving an 01 civic ex, yes these are quick for what they are, i like mine. Only problem i have with it is when i speed shift (only done it twice, first time out of curiosity, second cuz i was like wtf!?) the clutch slips....

 

I got it used not new, 31K miles and in perfect shape. it was a base though i couldn't even have the LS unfortunately. looking back at it i was stupid about it and rushed into my purchase. i had been driving a 98 slow as ***** ford taurus forever, the balt was the first car i really liked and could afford right away, and i had been dying to get a standard. I really should have been more patient and saved up more money, that way i could have gotten a cobalt LT or SS/na. Oh well, stupid me. Now i can't decide if i should work with what i've got or save up until I can afford an SS or SS/SC. Its such a hard decision

As for helltime, holy **** man did you get a HELL of a deal.
