I'm thinking about just trading in my cobalt sedan LS (all stock, no power windows or locks) for the supercharge. I'm just curious if someone knows of a website on what happens or what I should do. Also pro's & con's. My only worries is that it was one "accident" (I wasn't driving, which makes it very depressing). Cause? Honestly I don't know. Driver says steering wheel & brakes locked up, so we went over a very very small sidewalk curb (one that I KNOW normally wouldn't affect the car). Front axle broke and something else, but I don't know. It has been in the shop twice for needing rotation of tires and other things, only because I had a hard time seeing where the curb is when I first started driving (I'm short. Can't quite help it). Only problem I have now deals with the windshield wiper having a delay & engine not always starting up the same. But it will be going into the dealership soon, if its under the warranty (which, btw, we got many extended warranties). Other than that, absolutely no problem at all. Completely love the car and the MPG. I just believe we are over paying for the car. Almost $370/month 60-months for a the lowest trim possible. Quite crazy if you ask me. I might as well get something nicer if we are paying that. **By the way, are others paying less or more than this?? Just curious** THANKS. I'm really hoping to get the supercharge after the beginning of the year soon. Think thats smarter than upgrading the LS. |

I was looking at one of these cars recently and it is a nice package for the money. A new 2008 Cobalt LT 4 door sedan, 5 speed manual, power package, XM radio, cruise control, spoiler, body side mouldings, for a quoted price of $ 14,295, minus my $ 1000 GM card rebate. So $ 13,295 plus tax OTD. However, the instrument cluster does not appear to have a coolant temperature gauge, which is odd. Is this true, or is it located somewhere out of sight? If there is no gauge, is there at least an idiot light? Are these cars pretty reliable? What are the most annoying issues with them? I know the resale value stinks, but it also does on my '99 Mazda 626 V6. |

Well it has been 8 months since I purchased my 2007 Cobalt LTZ, and already I have 10,500 miles on it. I absolutley love this car. The car is powerful and responsive enough, and it handles pretty darn good. I have the XM and Onstar which were both worth the money, besides how many owners of the imports can say that thier car emails them every month: none. I also have the remote start, and I still think it is a gimmick, but I do find myself using it. The only issue that I have had so far was a squeak in the back seat that was fixed during my first oil change. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a solid small car that is pretty good on gas, and comfortable to drive.

Do they use a timing belt or a chain on late model (07 and 08) 2,2 liter and 2.4 liter engines?
