I was going to buy another cobalt, this time SS/TC, but changed my mind for many reasons. But anyway, I picked up a 2012 crystal red metalic Cruze!!! It is the LT with the RS package. I sacraficed not having leather or a sunroof, but at least it has remote start!!! Kinda suprised it isn't all that slow for only having 138hp! Injen cold air intake is in the mail on the way, and just ordered ZZP's mid pipe and o2 housing. Hoping to be around 200hp with all the mods combined. Getting 35% tints all around next weekend too! Sorry for the shitty picture, my phone sucks!

Picked it up for $23,380 "OTD" with a 5 year extended bumper to bumper warranty. Sticker on car was $21900!!!

 

Congrats

 

Thanks! Forgot to add, I'm pretty sure Im gonna throw a set of H & R springs on it to drop 1.5"!!!

 

nice bro! my friend picked up a 2012 Cruze LS for $16k out the door, its pretty nice for being an LS and it has the 6spd there nice cars!

 

not too bad! i wouldnt mind one.

 

I love the new key fob with the "switchblade" key! Haha

 

It is pretty cool/intergrated.

 

You will not gain 70ish hp with a intake and midpipe..lol. Congrats, They are sharp from the front!

 

I know I won't gain that much, but from what I have heard with the CAI, it tricks the computer into thinking it needs more boost from the ability to suck air faster. Raising the boost gives more hp!!!! Maybe ZZP will chime in and tell us exactly how much hp total it will gain from all 3.

 

switchblade key?? i want one!!! haha possible cobalt key coversion?? whats it look like? take a pic of it hahah

 

If you have ever seen a Volkswagen key fob, its very similar

 

hmmm... my friends brother just bought a cruze im guna have to look into it haha

 

love the front ends of these cars as well as the interior. awesome buy man!

 

Thank you, thank you!

 

Added new pics!!!

 

I am liking mine too. I went with the Eco trim. What I live compared to the old Balt, is although I am only at about 4700 miles, I am RATTLE FREE. Also the interior is superb. I do however miss the power that my TC had, but ah well. This works better for me.

 

i hope you know they max out at 150-160 whp...

i like the cruzes tho...way better than a cobalt in looks and quality but needs more power

 

Said who?

 

Just got one for the wife (1lt, 1.4t auto, non rs), definitely a nice fuel efficient dd .. I love it! for her anyway, but the amenities did give me the new car bug too .... Good buy!

 

Yes! Once I sat in it, I knew I had to get one, lol. It's so nice! And even better once I put the Injen CAI on it! That turbo sounds amazing

 

well thats what they do with the current mods out right now...i worded that wrong

 

Eh, either way 170-200hp is pretty good for the size of the engine. The turbo is tiny too. With an upgrade, should get some serious numbers.

 

hopefully more mods come out!

 

Damn you didn't wait long to black out the emblems or the taillights, you do it on the lot? haha

 

Yep way better than a Cobalt and a nice color looks good
