Ayone been cleaning their car or working on it or something like that and notice some just really horrible design flaws?? it seems like everytime I clean my balt I see something and im just like wtf?? why would they make it like that? now I know were not driving 2010 escalades..and I know that cobalts are said to have "Cheaper plastics then what you would find in a chinese toy factory" but still....jesus christ I feel like a five year old constructed some of the things on this car.

 

do you have examples?

 

the cup holders suck

 

yes I agree to that. Thats been one of my main complaints.

 

There designed to have the insert then GM said F that back in 06 LOL Had it in my 05 sedan and cups fit wonderfuly

 

Haha yes i was waiting for someone to say that. Just little things like that get on my freakin nerves. And for examples...Like not the door jam but at the bottom where the first part of the inside trim is...it is ******* impossible not to get that dirty no matter how hard you try. its to high it shouldve been lower. the steering wheel doesnt go up enough...but thats just personal...the plastic is to cheap..the stuff scuffs sooooo easy its like touching butter. And as for the lt cause thats what im driving the seat materials suck...i spilt drops of water on the passenger seat ...and it STAINED IT! wtf?? I didnt even know that was possible...theres a billion more things but I forget them until I clean it.

 

feel like you can pull the bumpers off without even trying

 

YES! Mine is starting to sag below the headlights...And I have noooo idea why...it almost looks like its been wrecked and had a new bumper on it... you know how they never line up right after. but mines never been wrecked.

 

yeah mines like that too and im pretty sure everyone elses ahah

 

I don't complain about the quality cause I knew what car I was buying

 

Seats suck
the dash layout sucks
the E brick lego block looks like ****
Doors are huge
the cloth on the door panels is really thin
the paint rubs off on the door bezels

Cant wait sell

 

If you didn't notice the plactic interior when you were at the dealership looking at the car, than you fail. I noticed when I bought my car. Didn't notice many exterior defects on my car though. Did you buy it new?

 

cause the car was cheap, now its time to upgrade

I think thats a good majority too.

 

x2

 

I dont fail cause I didnt buy the car. I got it for free with only 88 miles to its name.

 

daddy buy it for you? if so this thread will go south real quick.

 

haha spoiled kids now a days

 

Hey lets not get carried away. Knowone bought it for "me" Relative passed...they were more than well off and I actually had enough to pay half for new balt... they told me to save my money for later on..(college) and gave me the car. But if it makes you feel any better I worked like a beaner for those people afterwards....haha

 

alright thats understandable, i dont understand what your trying to say about working like a beaner haha

 

^ I'm guessing anything construction related, or anything that relates working outdoors, and having the Arizona sun make you darker every ******* day

 

 

I'll gonna say my SS is everything I expected it to be and some...for the price I paid new she has lived up to everything I had hoped she'd be and even more. Now as I near paying her off I only dream of the fun I'll have once she's a stripped down weekend toy for road racing (track days and a like)


Nothing feels better than showing up a car that cost double, triple, or more in the back roads or on the road course

 

the window/side silver thing sucks nuts, i had it replaced under warranty twice, i realize i can paint it my self but christ it chips up in about 2 months, i got paint peeling on my rear bumper by lisc plate and on side skirt, who knew a 20k car garage stored with no winters and hardly any rain would ever do so? i didnt realize it or look at it good enough when buying it with 18k on it but holy **** its the worst quailty car ive ever seen for 26k brand new (was on loan paper in my folder when i got it home)

 

Tbo the only the problem i have with the car, (My previous post is more sarcastic), but the only thing is its resale, which sucks tremendously.

 

Well, let's see. My door doesn't line up with the rear quarter, the sunroof rattles like hell, the fan squeaks, my hood is gapped too high near the windshield, my rear fascia can move left and right about an inch, sometimes it's nearly impossible to get the headlights to fit into those slots on the brackets, rear brakes overall on the TC.
