bought my car with 300 miles on it in march of 09' and now have 49,000 on it now. only problem ive had is pass detection sensor go bad at about 25k. other than that its ran great just changed the trans fluid and brake fluid shifts silky smooth and now the clutch moves much free'er.

 

haha wow. im now at 135K DD and Track time (41 Passes) only thing thats been done outside normal wear was the front hub assy's.

did some quick math. Average 2630 Miles a month

 

78k Still on original clutch and been running GMS2 since 2k miles.

 

I've got 52k on mine since July 08. Still runs great.

 

this thread needs a redo considering the question was asked 3 years ago

 

these cars are like cavaliers, their ECONOMY cars, so they can pretty much run 150-200k miles IF you treat 'em right, IMO. And from all the searching i've done, noone gets problems with these cars, unless they are always beating the pistons out of them or modifying too much for it to handle.

06, 36666 miles (i know, its EVIL!!! EVILLL!!!!!) nd i bought it 2 months ago and put on about 3k! Love it to death, no problems yet, just minor, usual B.S. The flex pipe (before the catalytic conv.) went out last month, but under warranty so i didn't pay 900 to fix it just mile after beautiful mile...

 

Almost 21k miles so just broke that under 20k bracket. No serious problems... Stupid plastic shifter linkage. And a MAP sensor that needed cleaning. Brakes on the LNF are known for being **** stock

 

bought my '10 TC in december of 2010 with 132 miles on it, and now have about 9,600 miles

 

as far as i have seen. for econ cars these are pretty good performance and reliability wise. just a quick question. any way to "tighten up" if you will. the shifter. mine seems to have more slack in movement than other cars i've driven

 

bought mine new in March of 10 with 232 miles

now she has 14,200

 

Bought the car on Halloween 2009 w/ 30 some miles now has 17,1xx. Stored in the garage for around 5 months out of the year.

 

Bought mine 2-1-10
I have 20,400 on it now.

 

5453

 

Wow, when I first voted in here I voted 20-30k. I've got 104,500 miles on her now

 

53k

 

i bought mine in 2008 with 43k, i have 64k on it now

 

Update as of Today:
75k miles, running strong.

 

I've learned with these vehicles, (i'm on my second) that if you treat them right, don't over boost them, don't drive it like you abused it, they can last a long time and run reliably. If you have a smaller than 2.9 inch pulley, fully bolted and tuned or an LNF with more than GM stage one then reliability may be called into question. Obviously, in general, if a person knows how to maintain their vehicle and operate a manual gearbox properly, even at much higher than stock power, these cars can still be reliable. Many members on here run above stock setups that have lasted 10's of thousands of miles and multiple years.

I plan on keeping (knock on wood) my SSTC for years and years to come. Previously had an SS/SC. If you're bored with your cobalt or want to experience a different type of vehicle or driving environment, go for it! Honestly, I still ask myself from time to time if I should have bought a used C6 Corvette or a 1st generation Cadillac CTS-V (LS6/6MT) and sometimes I long for that V8 rumble. Yet on a day to day basis during Michigan spring/summer/fall, I very much enjoy this sport compact, love the fuel economy, easy to see out of, ergonomical layout, 5 seat ability and the fact that it's the first "new" car I've ever bought. Being the underdog and people thinking your car is slow is at times annoying but to me it's totally worth it for those moments when you pull (from a roll) on an SRT8 Challenger, Audi S4, and various other V8 powered vehicles and luxury sport sedans.

Best of luck with your future automobile decisions, cheers

 

my 09 LS is almost to 64k

 

Update,

Had 86,000 miles when first posted back in 2008, now I have 147,000 on her.. Still running strong, No major issues. Running stage 2 hole life of car, and still on spec stage 2 clutch..

 

07 LT with 80,400 and its been for the most part good to me.

 

2008 2LT Black on Black & Chrome HHR PANEL, Bought on July 13th, 2010 with 19,077 miles on her. Coming up on one year and I am at 23,500 miles on her.

 

I believe i posted in this thread before but I can't remember what I've voted... Anyhoo, my '06 has 112k miles and runs like a champ. It's still smooth. No real complaints... At 112k miles u have to do usual maintenance when ur lowered especially like shocks/struts n springs n such. But other than that, we're good on this end.

 

142000 miles.
no major problems, no engine repair work that wasn't covered under original warranty, stage two since 100000 miles

 

Juuuust crossed 30k miles (48k+ km for those of us that measure things the right way :p) and going strong.
