So I read up on all the reviews and everyone says RSX hands down..... I go take an rsx for a test drive I LOVED it, soo comfortable and the interior was gorgeous.... but to be honest my last car was an 87 supra turbo so I thought it was kinda slow.......

Anyways I go to a chevy dealership and order a cobalt ss/sc with all the options" yes I mean ALL Of them except for on star and sattelite radio". I take it for a test drive when it finally comes in, all I can say after the test drive all I could do was laugh and feel absolutely cheated and lied to....... BY EVERY REVIEW on the car I ever read that is !!!


OK I seriously would like to know who the **** " excuse my language" is writing these reviews. Yes a 40 year old with a family, and a lot lacking in the crotch department; test drives an rsx type and than a cobalt ss/sc is going to pick an rsx hands down .... Why you ask ?? LUXURY and value.... yet the thing they arent realizing is these cars are aimed at two completely different age groups.

The cobalt ss/sc Handles better, is MUCH faster, and looks way cooler than the rsx. "aside from the fully loaded version of the rsx which retails at 40 grand minimum ! ". Now I have to admit even with the recardo seats its not as comfortable as the rsx..... yet did I buy this car for comfort NO.


I could go on and on about everything I love about this car yet I do not have time for that. All I can say is the cobalt ss/sc is getting underated in EVERY possible way " especially the horsepower rating lol 205 horsepower MY ASS !! ".

Anyways guys Im sorry for my long rant that really didnt go anywhere, I just cant put into words how happy I was with that car after the test drive, and YES I bought it "Black Fully loaded ". I really think gm needs the people from an unbiased website to test drive the cobalts to give them a fair review since they have EVERYTHINg a young person like me could want + more !

I dont think this car is set up for a certain age but rather a certain type of personality. lucky for us GM took this market seriously and blessed with a capable tuner car. I hang around 18 to 25 year olds at the track and on the street because we share the same love "cars" and other things (yeah we get side tracked sometimes) I am almost 40. but I am not dead. Heck I guess maybe I will get buried in this car. Hope you realize the love for a fast car is not determined by age but in 15 to 20 years you will realize the same thing. Happy motoring and go fast at the track.

Just like people stereotype Caddy's for elderly people in their 50's or 60's. But then you have people like me who will have the personality and maturity level of a 20 year old when im 40 lol.

I believe that those "options" are dealer installed accesories.

So to compare prices accuratley--youd have to price out every single dealer accesory for the S/C Cobalt as well. Granted this price differrentail would still be huge.

I am nit-picking a bit

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA RECARO DUDE. Also the recaro's are less comfortable than the stock ss/sc seats. So if you were looking for comfort you got the wrong seats. Congrats on the purchase. LOL @ RECARDO THE LATIN LOVER OF RACING SEATS
