Love it! Also love that steering wheel!

 

Nice write up Rice

 

Very nice write up. Makes me want a cobalt even more now

 

I will say this, Adam you do have a very nice Cobalt.

 

Damn man. My 06 lsj was 15k with 29 k miles back in late 2007

 

well written thread. i feel very similar to your thoughts/opinions its crazy.

Only thing that really bothers me is some of the fit and finish on it. I would say its because of the cheaper price range, but when I'm in a civic si or gti (something in the same class) their fit and finish is quite a bit better. Aside from that, the interior is actually pretty nice aside from the rattles (doesn't help I got full mounts, coil overs, and aggressive fitment tho )

and ****... I've had my balt 8 years now. it still turns heads and its fun as hell to drive. nice raw feeling and with proper suspension mods and bolt ons with proper tune/setup... it still gives most new performance cars a run for their money. Not gonna lie, I have thought of a new car... but most likely will keep the balt. Bought it brand new off the lot and aside from family and a few friends driving it here and there, I have been the only driver and owner. If you take care of these cars, they will last a long time. I daily drive and own another vehicle... so now my balt is just my fun car/toy. I just take it for what it is and have fun with it.

 

Premium member with 500 posts but doesnt own a cobalt? Whattttt? Lol

 

totally agree with this review even though I've only owned mine for 2 and half years....Idk why I love this car so much it's just a part of me now. Had 4 cars prior to this, a cavalier, 2 maximas, and a volvo 850 lol...but this car is just amazing. It pisses me off from time to time but every time I drive it it puts a smile on my face. I absolutely love the styling, and it makes me lol when people say my cars a girl car. I tell em isn't that the point, to make girls like your car?

It also hurts them when they see my tail lights

 

Oh forgot i wrote this! Haha

Well 3 months after i wrote it i got my car back! And its been awesome since. Tvs power is awesome. Here and there it rips the tires loose in 2nd at 380whp. Its been so awesome to be back and driving. No problems yet since i got it back just been fun fun fun. And pretty much all of my little issues have been resolved, i fixed most of my interior rattles and clunks, even fixed my exhaust leaks! 95% anyway haha. I got it looking just the way i want and performing the same. Fell in love all over again.

 

Im sort of obsessed with them I've wanted one since the day I first saw one. Trying to get one currently

 

Same here man!!

 

My 4 year would be it's got me where I need to go for the last 4 years. Good enough

 

Four years is a solid ownership period, and it really shows how a car performs beyond the initial excitement. The SS/SC models are known for strong reliability when properly maintained. At Luxury Rides LLC, long term owners often say regular fluid checks and careful driving habits make a big difference in keeping performance consistent over time.
