Sorry guys, but I traded in my Cobalt yesterday...






For this...





Just kidding, I still have the Cobalt. I did buy a new daily though. It's a 2015 Cruze LTZ RS.

 

I like the color.
Too bad it's not a 2.0

 

Ohh looks nice i would like to have a daily but i would probably get a sonic if i wouls

 

Thats sweet man! Lol I'm looking for a daily too but it won't be anywhere near as nice(gotta save money for more go fast parts)

 

RS lol

 

congrats!
what is it replacing?

 

The color looks even better in person. Yeah, slow 1.4 turbo it shall be.

Thanks, to be honest I don't like the Sonics.

Thanks man! I was going to buy another Cobalt for a daily and this kinda just happened instead lol

 

Dat MPG though.

It's probably a good idea to buy something you know you won't dump a lot of money into now that I think about it...I'd love to have another lsj or a lnf sedan but then I'd have 2 money pits

 

Why can't you just daily drive the Cobalt you have now?

 

People don't daily their cobalts? But its the ultimate econobox!

 

Should garage the $25,000 Cruze and daily the $8,000 Cobalt

 

Thanks man! It's replacing my first car, a 2002 Monte Carlo LS.

My thoughts exactly lol

Because I don't want all those miles on it.

You'd be surprised how many people don't DD their LNFs and LSJs.

 

I wouldnt dd my balt if i had the funds for another car

 

Good job Brad! Now you can really go crazy with the balt. Purpose racecar

 

The same here but let's face facts most of us have Balts because we don't have money's. Like ur self I would probably get a sonic too, one of the turbo hatchbacks

 

i bought my LNF thinking it would be a great daily with a bit of power. now its my moneypit, turbo swapped, fully bolted hardly driven car and i am still using my crappy ford focus as a daily

 

Lol i could buy a 5k car right now if i wanted but ill rather have money for a rainy day. And yup a hatchback would be great

 

Lol I wasn't even in the market to buy my cobalt, I was looking for a 350z or a camaro. Did a lot of looking and somehow wound up in the balt. I've driven the 350z and a camaro....but when I saw my cobalt on the lot and decided to take it for a ride....she gave me the biggest smile in the world. I'll admit I have a love hate relationship with mine, I hate that it's cheap, I hate that it's FWD, that she breaks a lot, but at the same time I can't see myself getting rid of it. I absolutely love this car and when shes working right it's a total blast to drive, I'm even toying with the thought of turbo'ing it, shes on a tvs now


And I don't know why...people always talk to me about this car. Not about the recalls and stuff but they want to know what it is. It's almost like they are baffled a cobalt could be nice

 

Thanks Adrian! I really should, 300whp isn't enough these days!

Same deal here basically. My daily before this was crappy too, don't feel bad

Right on man. If I wanted to I could have bought something RWD and made the Cobalt a daily. I love the car too much for me to do that lol

 

Good to see there are plenty of people here who love their Cobalts as much as I do, which I guess shouldn't be surprising since it is a Cobalt forum.

I'm also one of the people who would gladly stop DD the Cobalt just to keep miles off it. I've contemplated buying a different car to DD, but I just can't afford to currently. I do use my wife's Toyota Matrix pretty often, though.

I'm aware my Cobalt with 121,500+ miles and counting isn't worth much, but the monetary value isn't as important to me as the sentimental value.

Congrats on the Cruze, bmartz. Keep that Cobalt looking pristine!

 

It's better than my current daily, a 2008 Ford Ranger FX4.... the mileage in that thing sucks thanks to the factory 4.10 gears

But, it has been a godsend since the motor blew in my cobalt... and now with the rain and flooding in Texas where I live, it is nice to have some decent ground clearance.

 

I don't understand why most don't daily their balt. I do with summer tires year round through snow and all.

 

^Because of the other idiots on the road...

 

^can't tell if that's a shot at me or agreeing

 

^You asked why more people don't daily their Cobalts, and he answered, "Because of the other idiots on the road..." I think he's letting you know that's a reason why some people here don't daily their Cobalts. There are too many idiots out there, and these fine CSS members don't want their beloved cars to get damaged.

To answer you myself:
Some of these folks don't DD their Cobalts because they've grown attached to them. They want the cars to last as long as possible. Less driving = less stress on engine = longer lasting car.
