Don't forget about the fact that the 2.4 is the fastest 4cyl for under 20K.

Fastest 4 cyl in a new car. ;P

It's sad to see that my '02 S2K with 26,000 miles will only sell for like $18k and thats private party price.

you could easily save the $4k and find a slightly used 07/06 2.4ss, as opposed to new

Well.....took a test drive of both cars.......

The 2.4 SS was nice but I just can't justify the money for new or inheriting other peoples problems with used and the 2.0 reminded me of my Cavolier but just with a little more get up and go.

I guess I was just used to a car that fit like an old pair of jeans and the room in the Cobalt (it was pretty spacious) just made me feel like I was going to fall out of the damn seat on a turn and with the seat lowered to where I felt comfortable I couldn't see anything out the rear window.

I guess it's like going from a 60 inch LCD tv to a 13 inch black and white.
Nothing else is going to compair.

Chances are I will either get a LS or get my wife a LS and take the '05 Malibu back.
Although I did catch her looking at the Mazda 5 minivan car thing. *rolls eyes*
I am going to have to leave her at home next time.

Don't get me wrong I did like the SS, I just couldn't justify paying another $100 a month for one over the cost of a LS.

Maybe I was just being a little harsh and unreasonable and need to go back with realistic expectations and take my time.

The sales dude rushed the hell out of me when he found out I wan't buying today.
