Since i am a new member here, i thought i would ask..: 'Who here is a converter?' aka.. who here is not a former cavi owner wanting a cobalt, imean what did u used 2 drive or what do u drive now? <ex>fordz,HONDAz,yotas,etc.. did u trade in your 99 focus for the cobalt? or 94 camry for 1?

a nice lil ? right?

 

Until three weeks ago, I was driving a 2002 Civic LX sedan. No more!

 

1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GT loaded with everything before I came to Korea, but when I get back in September I'll have the Sport packaged LS waiting for pickup.

Kinda downgrading, but at the same time upgrading. Suits me just fine.

 

turned in a 2003 malibu ls for my cobalts sedan

 

I'm a converter. Was never a fan of the cavie, then when I first saw the "beachball" commercial with the Cobalt & the Corvette, I decided I wanted one.

 

I had an S10 previously.

 

volvo C70.. the turbo brick

 

Had a 2000 Cavalier. Got tired of the dash rattling.

 

I guess I'm converted. I own a few GM vehicles 96 GMC Sierra, just sold a 97 Grand Am (my wife's car), and a 2001 Tahoe. I have used these in my business(drive alot 50,000 miles a year). The Tahoe was killing me in gas to the tune of $35 a day. I needed a small car with good gas mileage. I also needed a car I knew would last for 250,000 miles. I really was looking hard at Scion TCs. My wife came home with a cobalt brochure. I told her I didn't want a cavalier (no offense to anyone intended, I never liked cavaliers). One of the rental companies I do work for got some cobalts in. I looked at a yellow coupe with 15s and a spoiler. That made my mind up"this is not a cavalier". I now have a black ls sport coupe.

 

I traded in my SVT Focus

 

Yep.. I converted.. Acura Integra LS 2001 to my new 2005 Cobalt SS.. I loved my Acura, but I'm very glad I converted, sunroof, mp3 player, 18" wheels, leather, did I mention supercharged? Yeah... see ya Acura ;-)

 

I had an olds Alero. I HATED j-bodies.

Basically the Cobalt was the fastest car for under $30G's CDN. I looked at a cooper S as well. SRT-4's are more expensive here, plus I had GMS and other rebates so I got the SS for 6G's less than an SRT-4.

 

I had a 98 accord coupe that i traded for an SS.... and im sooo happy i did

 

had a '00 cougar, and unless ford comes out with something magical, will keep this new ss for a very long time

 

Traded in a ford escort. most definitely an upgrade.

 

Converter here! Coming from a SUV craze... I don't know what I was thinking.

'01 GMC Jimmy, '00 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and my '92 Talon TSi.

I've had my black SS/SC for 2months now and I'm loving every minute of it! I was worried ordering a car that I had never test drove or even sat in, but it was worth the worries and the wait.

Bring on the mods!!

 

I plan on "down grading" from a 97 Camaro SS.Every one in our local club thinks I am crazy. But, I have been following these cars scince the concepts and rumors were around. Neat little cars and 29 MPG with a Supercharger, sign me up!

 

good, glad uryone replied to my post, i think it's good yall are converting.. then there is me.. i want to know what to convert to. see i am also having the SCIONtc/CHEVYss problem.. i have a 10yr old car with 'blo it up miles' and i really want a cobalt, but this may be out of the ? since i am recently unemployed and need tha mu-lah. ANY suggestions..? i joined because i am ready for a 'balt. *[ps, um do you have to order a ss just to get it? or will they be avalible after 06? like you know? since they were new 05, you needed to order.. i was wondering on the whole deal. and um... what is this G35? or 85?im noticing everyone talking about it.. sorry 4 long post, i have a 'cont'd disconection problem with my net, and i wanted to get junk out of the way..

-bye.

 

traded in a 01 mitsu galant for my red SS, and wow i do i love it!!!!!!!!!!

 

Currently driving an '04 Silver Cavalier LS sport Coupe, all options besides MP3 player but all is good, I want the Cobalt SS badly, and one day will be driving one. But for now my LS sport is good enough. damn 6 year loan tho ><

 

1st car, but i had my moms 01 maxima like it was myne, cuz she never drives it

 

My cars in order are
1992 Chevy Cavalier RS Convertible
1999 Chevy Cavalier Z24
2003 Chevy S-10 LS Ext Cab
2005 Chevy Cobalt SS

Hmmmm, I see a trend.

 

Hey i kind of had that problem when i needed car it was first b/w the TC and the SRT-4 , then it went to the SRT-4 and SS and i picked the SS cuz well its better all-around, although a bit slower its just a nicer car in my opinion.

Oh and its G85, its a sports package, that comes with LSD (limited Slip Differential) and Recarro seats. although i haven’t seen the Package on the chevy website or at the dealer i went to.

 

Oh ppl are listing their car history now ok my turn.

1. 1990 Chevy Beretta
2. 1998 Chevy Malibu
3. 2001 Chevy S10 Xtreme
4. 2003 Chevy S10 Xtreme
5. 2005 Cobalt SS/SC

Actually I guess I am not a convert

I have to say I never liked the Cavy but I love the Cobalt. Must have something to do with the 212 HP engine

 

The kicker for me on the TC vs. Cobalt debate was the longevity of the GM vehicles I have owned. Granted the Scion TC is a Toyota, so it should last for many miles. The Cobalt is made by GM and in the last 10 years I have owned 3 Gms that I have put over 150,000 miles on. First was a 1996 GMC Sonoma, Bought it with 12000 miles and sold it at 256,000 when the clutch finally gave out. Then the 1997 Grand Am bought at 28000 sold (to my Dad) at 243000. It is still being driven about 40 miles a day. 1997 GMC Sierra bought it with 69,000 now has 246,000. Last is my 2001 Chevy Tahoe with 197,000 miles and I swear this truck is just getting broken in good. Somewhere along the way I became to my amazement a GM Guy. Never saw it coming.
