Im not in love whit my car, but i can say it is a very decent car. it can be quiet fast but try to keep it to the minimum cus cops around here are everywhere.

i get lots of compliments especially for the color.

It is what i expected and gave me couple of trouble the first to weeks i got it (used)
but haven't have any recent inconvenience.

I don't think there is any other car that can give you what this car comes whit stock, for the $

got my car for 11 grand 45.ml 06 ss/sc

5.5 for me. If my car was a girl I would spend all my money on it. Actually i already do that.

But i still have sexual fantasies about it... well my fantasies usually involve me pulling up in it before I **** a chick

I think its a 5, even though its an ls I cant believe the options that are available between intakes, exhaust, FI options. Even thought its not a fast car, it can very well be a quick car, lil peppy w/e. Plus this is the first car I bought brand new. Only 18 when I bought it 7777 miles on it right now )

I chose 2. I was very disappointed to have so many rattles and noises when I bought it, considering it was brand new. I could choose a much higher rating as I have fixed a good number of them and it's much more tolerable now.

And for the record service departments suck. I end up having to fix everything myself.

Hate to tell you guys this...but if a girl had a choice between driving you or driving your car...she would probably choose the car....

Luckily I get the best of both worlds....

my 09 ss/tc is pretty much what i expected. but it depends what you came from. I came out of a 400hp 06 sti so i'm still kinda in withdrawl. but i can't take it out on my balt, she's doin the best she can right now! and besides, once i do a trifecta, short shifter and cia charge piping, i'll feel better bout it. the balt does def. feel cheap to me at times, but you don't pay the money for the interior and such, basically the motor and suspension. and at times it has surprised me when in full boost!! i'm still gonna take care of her the same way i did with my sti.

Short of the annoying interior squeaks/chirping noises the car has been fantastic.

I needed an economy car wi/warranty; I wanted another hot rod; I'm jazzed because I got both. Ride is a little stiff on uneven roads(to be expected)but it's still pretty comfy on longer trips.I'm not getting the squeaks/rattles -maybe cause I seldom use the sunroof. Even with the performance & options resale value will probably suck sooner than later,though. Haven't been over/under my baby enough yet to consider the relationship sexual but I might be making my move soon I want more power. And traction. Oh, and I voted a 4.

Eh, it's nothing more than what I expected; nothing less, either.

It has it's good qualities, and bad ones.

It gets the job done.

Although I've only had mine for about 10 days and 600 miles, I'm thrilled.
It's a TON of fun, planting your foot in it @ 70 in 4th gear brings a smile to my face.
It's got all the creature comforts (sub, USB port, bluetooth+voice command, 260hp, sunroof).

I really can't complain! And for basically $19.7K, it's a good amount of car for the money!

I think either vehix.com or MSN autos had the 2009 Cobalt SS depreciating LESS than the 2009 VW Jetta TDi.
Now THAT is something to brag about - those TDi VW's are the anti-depreciation KINGS!
