Dude, get a grip. Think this out. You need a new car so you can't wait for the Camaro.

Also, you're buying a brand new car...none will need any maintenance other than tire rotations and oil changes for some time.

The SS is an excellent car. I would highly recommend it. You are on a Cobalt SS board though...do you really think there isn't going to be bias?

ur on a cobalt forum so of course most people will say cobalt. got to the Mazdaspeed forums and they will undoubtedly say the MS3

If I had the choice between those 4 it would definitely be the G8 GT because it's a lot of car for the money, but you're obviously not looking for a car of the character....seems you'd like to stay in the smaller range, I'd say MS3 or SS T/C then.

I loved the G8 GT, but I just don't want to spend that kinda money on a car.

yup, and I didn't want to pay for the extra gas vs. the CSS

361 hp V8 would be nice though, I loved the sound

have another problem i looked at way too many cars now i am a little confused. did not want to confused you guys but here is the rest of the this.

mustang v6 or gt
ss cobalt
g8 gt
soliste gxp
lancer gts
jetta
accord
mini cooper
all cars would be std if possible
wait for camaro

place your top 3 in order thanks again

still going to look at the ss tommorow i will save about 1000 off with the gms discount not sure the 1500 rebate works with the .



salesgirl said she thinks the ss is not included see what happens tommorow i never have drove a ss before.


few questions on the ss if the car stock is pretty fast why all the mods on this forum. and does the car take reg or prem fuel thanks again for your help

one more thing king of funny but when you drive the mustang with the long hood and all. kind of feel like steve mcqueen. feel like you own the road.

but the gtg8 did get up and go when you hit the gas.

The SS/TC takes premium. And stock it should be good for high 13's.

Out of the cars you listed-

Mazdaspeed3
Cobalt SS/TC
Lancer GTS

The Solstice and Sky are very nice cars, but not good DD's imo.

I would also like to suggest a GTI and a used WRX, good luck with whatever you chose.
