Hi, I'm looking at a 09 Cobalt SS through a friend; it's got 26k, red, manual, looks like a nice car, still under drivetrain warranty. It looks like a nice daily.

I looked up some common problems in search: sunroof trim, e-brake set too tight / grinding rotors, squeaky over bumps, body/front-bumper alignment issues. Any other common issues I should know about or things to check for? I'm going to have a dealer do a visual inspection too.

Is a Cobalt SS a decent daily driver? Or annoying to drive? I'm used to daily driving a c6z so I assume by comparison it's more timid and less rigid? Never had a turbo car before, or a 4 cyl, but I have had an s/c'ed (and modded) GTP. How's the turbo lag?

If I buy it, I'll post'up some pictures.

cheers
