I have been researching vehicles to buy and am torn between 2 choices. The 09 cobalt ss and the all new malibu ltz with the 2.4 liter and a 6 speed auto. Any responses to help sway my decision?

 

ss ftw malibu fugly imo

 

your in a cobalt forum
what do you think we would say

 

i think the cobalt is much more awesomer!! and it has like 5 less horsepower but it weighs more and like it has a turbo and easy to upgrade and cobalt is AWESOME!!!

 

first you need to decide if you want an apple or an orange...

 

The quality is just much better in the malibu. Not to mention it will be around longer than the next year unlike the cobalt.

 

I guess you already have your mind set.

 

10 horses for every 100 pounds

 

do you want more of a fast economy car or more of a sophistocated wannabe luxury car.. imo i would take the malibu over the cobalt anyday.. id rather get the LT v6 because the leather/suede interior is much more attractive and the price is about 5k less..

 

it really depends on what you want/need. if you need a people mover then Malibu, otherwise ss/tc ftmfw

 

09 SS 4 door

 

x2. Best of both worlds.

 

We drove a 2.4 L malibu when we went to buy ours and it was so underpowered that even my wife couldnt stand it . We ended up paying a little more for a LT2 W/3.6L V6 (252 hp) and tap shifter. We are very happy with it . Take the Trac off and the thing will spin the tires shifting into 2nd easily lol . It has wheels that are almost identical to the polished SS/SC 18's.

 

sweet choice, those things haul ass, only thing yours is missing is fog lights :p

 

If u get the malibu get the V6

 

2.4 option doesn't come with the 6 speed man.

 

Cobalt....duh.

 

As a matter of fact LTZ only comes with the V6

 

No u can get it w/ the 2.4 4cyl

 

Not in LTZ trim!

LEARN U"RE CHEVY LINE UP

 

the LTZ you get a V6 6speed auto or a 2.4 6 speed auto

I maybe DUMB, But I BLEED GM.

 

Sorry Steve bro, but you're wrong. The 2008 Malibu can be had in LTZ trim with the 2.4 Eco and a 6speed automatic.

 

LS and 1LT have a 4 speed auto with the 2.4L

2LT and LTZ get the 6 speed with the 2.4L

The 3.6L V6 is available on all trim levels except for the LS and only available with the 6 speed, but it is a different 6 speed than the 6 speed that is mated with the 2.4L 4 cylinder.


Now, all that being said, these cars are polar opposites and the OP needs to figure out WTF he wants...

Now having shopped the Cobalt SS segment: Mazdaspeed3, Civic Si, and WRX...I liked the SS the most. Plus, in my daily, I like torque.
