i don't, it is the fact that some people hype the crap out of it only to come back to the realization of "uh, i can't do anything!" give it 6 months. there will be stuff out for the car, but it won't do anyone any good untill someone gets past the magical 260ftlb barrier in the ecm.

Um......................tell us how you really feel.
Seriously.......we own a car that is MASS produced. Do you or anyone on here honestly think that there is going to be not one car with problems? It is bound to happen, and always will happen. There is no way for the factory to produce cars without problems. I owned a Toyota, known for being the most reliable cars on the planet. And I had lots of problems with it. I have had my Cobalt for over a year and have had ZERO problems.
So to say that it is GM's fault for making a crap car is well......CRAP.

A tune and a cat-less 3" exhaust and its game over.

Hmmm, good question. I've seen them on Ford cars, but I don't know if the Cobalt has one or not. I learned about them when a friend's Escort stopped running immediately after hitting a huge pothole. Thanks for the suggestion!

I think the SS/TC and SS/SC are awesome cars. I love mine. I just can't believe that just because our cars are domestic that they will automatically be cursed with shitty resale value. Then my fiance buys an 04 GTI and I sit in it and i'm like WTF?! This car is beautifully engineered. Why can't we (america) do this? By no means am i saying import is better than domestic. I like my torque. I'd just like to be able to pay 23,000 for a car and 2 years later have it be worth a little more than 15. I see 06 Si's still selling for 20.

Did you not know when you bought the car that the resale is not going to be that good? It is considered a "cookie cutter" car, just like a Honda Civic, or Dodge Neon.

Honestly what did you expect for $24K?? A fit and finish like a Lexus or Mercedes? These cars are going to have squeaks, rattles, etc. Also, if you happen to have a decent aftermarket stereo you are going to promote squeaks and rattles.
