I am thinking of buying a new car i am torn between the VW GTI and the Cobalt ss/sc

GTI 32,400 before taxes

Cobalt ss/sc 25,800 before taxes

i wanted to know how reliable is the cobalt from people who own the cars.


Thanks

 

I've never had a problem with mine even after modding

 

if you dont mod then your ok.... very reaibale alll depends on how you take care of the vechilce

 

I have had my car since Nov 2006 and Ive just rolled past 11,000miles...car is running great with no problems.

 

if you take care of it it's fine.

 

mines peachy

 

every car is reliable, reliablity is a matter of maintence and how you drive it (take it easy, but there is always those times you can have a little fun )

 

thanks for your responses

which of the two would be faster

i test drove the GTI and its ******* fast

 

what year of the gti???

 

If its the new gti mkv stock for stock ss/sc is faster, iam on my second cobalt and dont regreat a minute of it, i beat the **** out of both of them and they take it.

 

Cobalt ss/sc is faster than gti..... i have no idea why they are so much money?

 

My car is great, never reget buying it. Don't tell anybody, but sometimes... I just stare at it and say, damn that's a sex car.

 

haha i do the exact same thing.. and i dont regret buying this car. but IF both cars were the same price, then i would go with the gti.

 

So far so good with my 07'. Small issues.
VW's satisfaction/reliability ratings are amongst the lowest in the industry these days.
32 grand for a hatchback. Jeepers.

 

Go with the balt, I have a friend that has the gti mrk 5. The ss/sc is far superior. Not to say the gti isnt a great car but the balt really is the better car. I was torn between the exact same decision.

 

gti has better interior but maintanice and parts are expensive. i work at vw and they have alot of stupid problems

 

Balt all the way !

Hope this helps

 

do some research. VW has some of the worst reliability rating, and a little fact; land cruiser has THE WORST there is.

 

I've never had a problem with mine.

 

I hate vw. I've never seen a car to check engine ratio like one of those! VW is also more unreliable. And that's bad since we're comparing to gm here

 

i bet if you went to a GTI site he would get the exact opposite response...

its all relative, read impartial reviews on both cars and make your decision from there... unless you already made up your mind and you just want us all to reassure you

 

I had the same problem...
I went with the SS/SC becasue my one of my buddies at the Vdub dealership is a tech there.... and some of the stories the he tells about GTI's are pretty bad...

My other buddy who woks there actually bought a GTI (so he won't dis his own car )
In the end after I bought the SS, I ended up kicking the crap out of his GTI... after he upgraded the ECU... I was stock...

Really, test drive both of them. I test drove about 10 cars before I decided on mine.
The bottom line -> Pick something that YOUR comfortable in and that suits YOU!

 

The VW does have a few nicer features but almost 7 grand more, I didn't think it was worth it and I bought my first american car. No problems and it has been modded since it left the stealership.

 

I didn't even consider the GTI before because once I saw the SS/SC I fell in love with it.

Now that I noticed that the VW is much more expensive with lesser perfomance numbers than the SS/SC, I'm soooo glad I chose The Balt

gti...32, 500 u r over paying for the gti...well a r32 would be around that price
