Don't be afraid to negotiate with Sirius-XM when you sign up for service after your free trial period. I was just able to get a year's service for $77.00. I got my free three months' subscription with the purchase of the car, and it ran out in September. I did not renew, and about a month later I got an offer from XM to renew for three months at $4.99 per month. I took them up on that, and that subscription just ran out. I was going to cancel again, but they offered me another three months for $4.99 per month. I asked if there was a longer-term special deal, and the lady said I could get a one year subscription for $77.00, and that sounded good to me. I really enjoy my XM Radio ... well, I guess it is Sirius-XM Radio now. I have pretty much locked in on the 50s channel, which plays songs from the late 50s and early 60s. One thing you must be aware of is that the subscription continues to be active after the special deal expires, and you will be billed for the full price for service received after the end of the special deal period. I will have to pay a pro-rated fee for January 3 though January 15 plus the $77.00 that will keep my account active until January 16, 2010. I knew that my three month special deal should have expired by now, but I didn't know exactly when it did. I got an invoice in the mail that told me that I was now paying the full monthly fee. Apparently, my special three month deal ended January 2, 2009, but my service was continued at the full monthly rate. Tom |

My sister in law has had a lot of trouble with her 2005 Cobalt. This past week the Transmission went out. The car has about 60k miles. Cost of repair (approx $3k) will almost be 1/2 of it's market value. I checked for recalls - none were Transmission related. What can and/or should she do ? |

Replying to: ROCKETSENSE (Jan 17, 2009 9:53 am) GM's are known for excellent transmissions/engines, that is why companies such as Jaguar, Lincoln, BMW, Rolls Royce, and many others have used them. GM currently sells 6-speed transmissions to BMW among others.

On p. 56 of the current CR is a list of small car ratings. Cobalt is third from the bottom. For the life of me I can't figure out what in hell is wrong with the Cobalt. I have about 3,000 miles on my 2009 LT1 Coupe with no problems at all. 22-24 around town and as much as 38 on the road. Rides like an Impala. Plenty of foot, head, and shoulder room. CD storage space in the console could be better but all in all it is a good car. The first two cars in their small car test - Honda Fit and Suzuki SX4 have choppy rides but they like them because of reliability. To me ride is everything. I could care less about power,and long term reliability. I want adequate room inside and, a good ride. Cobalt offers both along with good gas mileage. I may cancel my subscription to CR. I'll tell them that my bird died and he liked to read CR in his cage so I don't need the magazine anymore.
