06 cobalt SS super charged

[CANADIAN_COBALT]

hey guys new to the boards. right now im looking into financing something new cuz i keep on gettin screwed on used cars so pretty much i took out the new 06 cobalt for a test drive the other day and its got some pretty good torque and speed just wondering what u guys think of the car. the main reason im looking at the cobalt is i want to do another show car im big into tuners

I've heard great things about the Cobalt SS - much faster and a bit cheaper than most of its direct competition, and apperently it's pretty reliable too. The Dodge SRT-4 is a bit faster in a straight line, but I've heard that the handling is much better in the Cobalt (SS).

only one person has a opinion on this car????

I didn't know anything about the Cobalt SS until skimming this article. It's OK but personally I'd go for the WRX. For a tuner the Cobalt should be good as there aren't that many around.

Go for it. I love 'em. They look good, IMO, and they go well- it's plenty fast for everyday.

C&D Magazine said that the Dodge SRT/4 had terrible torquesteer, and would be a bitch to control in winter. The Cobalt was a great car for the money.

Go for that yummy ol' coupé

I own a used 2005 Cobalt SS. I don't know why they sold it back to the dealership, but it's a pretty cool car. You could call it an all around performer.

for a FWD car its pretty sweet

What kind of "show cars" are you into?

[SupraMan22]

Your big on tuners and you like show cars. Sounds like a good car to start with. But are you going to show it stock, and if you aren't what are you looking to change.

Eh, thats what I thought. Im an "all go, no show" kinda guy...

[TrickedCOBALTss]

yeah i have one.. Its a super nice car with some pretty good power.. the car has alot of potential with the ECOTEC. mine right now is at like 240hp with mild engine mods no stage kit even... handles very well but i also have a lowering kit on there sooo..

It looks good, but I'd take a Civic Si or Acura RSX anyday. And puuleeez, don't rice it up?

[F1_Master]

Why would you choose a 197Hp Civic Si over this 205Bhp car?
I'm sure the 0-60 on the Cobalt SS is also better unless gas is your main priority.

For me, I took a brief test drive last year, and I walked away pretty impressed for a car marketed towards the teenagers. Though $20,000 seems to be the all-around minimum price these days for new cars, I'm sure a used one can be found cheaper in good condition.

[Gtek-i]

The Si is overall, a better car. It has better cornering, fuel economy, AND reliability. But for the price of the SS, I'd just get an RSX.
