because a shitload of young kids like yourself have no idea how to drive.
but are all about how great a drivers they are.
and what your explaining could very easily be poor footwork.

True that was the first month that I had it and was getting used to it. Since then Ive had no problems with the clutch. I had to learn how to work with the cobalt clutch becuase it is different then others such as the 350Z that I learned on.

I know I shouldnt have made the thread "Cobalt is terrible" I was just really frustrated with all of the crap that has happened to it (not becuase of driver error). Just the things that go wrong that really should rarely go wrong on reliable cars

Driver mod stage -1,000,000.

You should never ride a stock clutch unless you're launching at a drag strip trying to get a 2.0 60'. The cruise control problem you had was caused by your inability to drive a manual car in the correct format. Just because you and your buddies drive that way, doesn't make it the right way.

I said I was sorry for labeling it like that cause I was frustrated with it! Get over it!

I was wondering what kind of education you have where all you could afford was the lowest model of cobalt which is maybe 16 grand....upgrade if you can

Im 20 attending school for game programming. My fully loaded sedan cost me around 13k back in 05 when they were having the GM discount promo. I didnt want to pay high insurance, wanted to be unique which i am, 1 or 2 turbocharged 2.2L sedans. I dont want to upgrade, I like the extra room .

Well, I do believe his "shitty Lowest models, 4 door cobalt" is now turbocharged. So why would he upgrade. think before you talk man

And yes, there is a TSB on the cruise control issue. What it says is basically a sugar-coated version of " the owner cant drive the car properly"

Your are incredibly immature and lack respect for people to attack someone's car. His 2.2L sedan is a bit faster than you car and cost him quite the bit less. Like said before, stick with that attitude, you won't last long. You've already set yourself up to lose a lot of initial respect by doing that.

Wow, your attitude is quite the amount of HOT Garbage. Education has nothing to do where 'he could afford the lowest model'. Thats SUCH an ignorant statements. You need to grow up a bit.
