Any negatives about the turbo?
 

I know everyone loves the new turbo, or the ones that have it already,however i was wondering if anyone has heard anything negative about it yet? The car seems to get good reviews all around, but just wondering from people who have it thanks.

ohh boy, here we go... to be honest i think the MS3 is close to the best FWD drive car on the market.

ill vote once i get mine and drive it.

i can think of several downfalls to it, however an unfair advantage i have on the issue and the huge amount of brochure educated nut swingers will say theres nothing wrong with it.

its a nice car, thats it.

ITS NOT RWD..::lol::
NO IDK..UHM WE NEED REVIEWS FROM ACTUAL DRIVERS ON THE STREET

no we need educated reviews from people who have owned multiple cars. not first time drivers, they have nothing to compare it to.

and owners will ALWAYS have a bias.

Chevrolet Cobalt? Best FWD car on the market?

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

For the price yes. but performance wise its still to early to say

where are u geting ur info??


2008 MS3-263HP turbo

MSRP:
$22,340 - $24,055
Invoice:
$20,898 - $22,497

price aint that much of a difference dont like ms3 so i realy dont care if it cost a little less than the cobalt and some people prefer coups instead of hatch backs.

and turbo's that are worth a dam across the main RPM range.....

Best in terms of what?

Performance... possibly, still too early to tell
Refinement... nope
Quality... I would say no based on personal experiences
Resale value... one of the worst

Let's not forget that ms3 does 18/26 mpg and thte cobalt t/c does 22/30 mpg and with gas prices getting high every day people will rather have a cobalt even if it lacks 3 less horse power.

I like the new SS alot but MS3 over the SS anyday.

sports compact did a artical on the new cobalt and in there eyes they rated the new cobalt the best front sport compact in the us right now plus you wont even know what a 3 hp difference is cobalt all the way mazda is gay:usa:

mazda is ford BTW and the MS3 is one of the highest rated FWD cars in its class...

the ms3 is heavier, uglier, gets worse mpg, slower (no way in hell will it beat the ss around a track), oh yeah and its a mazda stationwagon (girls car!) cobalt ftw!!

dont' forget the extra few hundred pounds on the mazda. in stock form, the cobalt will be a little faster in a straight line, and definitely a decent amount faster in the twisties. as far as modding? who knows. as of right now, untill there's tuning out, you won't get any power from the ss/tc over stock. literally.

i hate fords :thumbsdow chevy is all i have ever had and ever will own

A guy driving a ms3 is like seeing a guy driving a beetel gay.:lol:

those 1.8T beetles can be pretty quick

I dunno. The thing the Cobalt Turbo has going for me is it is a coupe and not a hatch. Now if the Neon SRT-4's were still on the market that would be my vote.

But honestly I can't say yes it's the best because I have never driven one. And I can't compare it to the MS3 cause I have not driven one of them. So I dunno.

lol umm are we forgetting the tc does have the fastest lap at nurnberg(sp?) so all and all it is the best car for the price. period

LOL no they are not.. thats like the slowest turbo engine you can find. :thumbsdow same engine in alot of cars.. it sucks lol VW is not as great as these emo kids thing

one very big negative........ zero supercharger whine.......... hahaha

Nope. We are not. At least not me. And curious, what other boosted 4 bangers have been brought over to the 'Ring for a comparisson?
