Replying to: okko1 (Jul 06, 2007 6:15 pm) Yes they do, I think the Cobalt performance catalog is like $20-25. It has all the engine mods including special race engine blocks available. The Cobalt shattered every performance record that the Honda's Civic had established. The naturally aspirated Cobalt in 2005 beat the Civic top speed by over 30 mph, something like 220 mph, of course with modifications. Cobalts are the prefered car at the drag strip as well and win every major title. A Cobalt has seen 7-second quarter mile times, maybe even less by now.

hey just wanted to let you guys know about my experience with my cobalt. i just bought it about a month ago, it has 11,000 miles on it and it came with the warranties a brand new card would. so far i love the car. i live in iowa and we have hot days in the summer and cold snowy days in the winter. so far this summer i have had ice cold air conditioning. when i first bought it it had 9,500 miles on it and i left the dealership paying around 15,000 for it. ive had no problems up to this point. i have heard a lot about the key problem on the 05's and 06's but nothing on the 07's. i am 6'2" and about 250 pds. and there is plenty of room in this car for me. we were even able to fit a couple of buddies in the back seat. yes they were have the size of me, but they still fit! i do a lot of driving because im in the sales business and so far all i can say is that i love this car! i recently put tint on the rear windows and let me say it really does make the car look attractive. ive had a lot of comments so far on the car. i originially wanted to buy the cobalt ss but im glad i didn't because i got into enough trouble driving my old firebird with the ole' cops lol. i get around 29mpg in the city and about 34 mpg highway. im sorry to hear about others and the problems they have been having with there cobalts. maybe gm decided to make a lot of changes for the 07 to avoid the problems from the 06 and 05. not sure. i just know that i haven't had this much fun and reliability in a car since my old 1986 nova! thanks for reading my post and i hope that this post may help another customer looking for a cobalt to purchase and love for a lifetime!

Replying to: cobalt4life (Jul 12, 2007 8:45 am) What a nice post you wrote there cobalt4life. It's positive and interesting.    I'm looking forward to buying a Cobalt next year. Can't decide over the Coupe SS (not supercharged) or the Coupe LT. I've always driven Vans or S.U.V's. This would be my first car. I want (and have) to buy something more economic and the Cobalt looks just right. My only concern is winter driving. We get pretty big snowstorms here in Canada and I always wonder what's the Cobalt performance in snow, sleet and freezing rain?     Just a little question. How old are you? I'm 50 yrs old and people tell me that the Cobalt is for young people, especially the coupe model. They say at my age I should get a sedan. Where's the sport look in sedans?     By the way, with the back windows tinted and red. your Cobalt must be the nicest in town.     Take care.

Replying to: cobalt4life (Jul 12, 2007 8:45 am) The majority of people who come to the forums come here for advise or to voice their displeasure of something or another. Looking at any auto forum will always have someone complaining of one thing or another, but it is nice when people have something nice to say. Most people don't have problems with their Cobalts. That city mileage is pretty impressive. If you haven't already done so try checking the mileage manually after filling up the tank and zeroing the odometer and tell us if it made a difference. The onboard display is pretty nice when its accurate, and I am sure they are pretty close overall.

Replying to: grosloup (Jul 13, 2007 9:50 am) Oh poop on those who say a 2-door is for young people, lol. I'm 35 and just bought my 2-door LT two weeks ago. The color of mine is called sport red tintcoat which basically looks kinda dark red/burgundy and I am getting my windows tinted next weekend. I think window tint really accessorizes a vehicle, makes it look good. There is no law saying you have to be in a certain age bracket to drive something sporty and nice. And as much as I hate to say, I find it rather humorous to be driving something that attracts the attention of a younger crowd and when they pull up next to you they get one hell of a surprise, haha. Heck with it I say! Go for the coupe and enjoy!!! Replies to this message: cobalt4life (Jul 16, 2007 12:08 pm)

Replying to: justus3 (Jul 14, 2007 6:41 am) hey thanks for replying to my post. im 23 yrs old, but, my uncle whom is 49 is going in tommorrow to sign papers for the cobalt lt thats yellow. he drove my car for a day and absolutely loved it. the tint is great for any car, especially if it is a red color. i had mine proffesionaly done and it really makes a difference. when i got to sit in my car, the car is actually cooler because their isnt so much sunlight coming in. in iowa we can have as dark as we want on the back 3 windows, so i did .02% visibility. makes it kinda harder driving at night but besides backing out of my driveway, im good to go! ive also filled the tank up 5 times and thats how i got that city number. im not sure, but i think since the car already had some miles on it, it must have gotten the bugs out or something. the most amazing thing about this car is the fact that when you want it to go, it goes! ive had a lot of vehicles pull up(mustangs, camaros, etc.) and when i put the pedal down, they definately pay attention! its an affordable car for all ages and when i went on a trip to minneapolis this weekend, i saw a cobalt coming up on my left. and if i were to guess how old he was i would say probably 56 yrs. old with a big ol'e smile on his face! thanks for your time reading this!
#68 of 200 cobalt a real car by okko1 Jul 16, 2007 (3:51 pm)
i am 52 years old and i am not going through a middle age faze. my cobalt has put the fun back in driving. i don't care if it's the fastest or the most luxurious. the reason i don't care is because thats not why i bought it. it looks slick and it's a blast to drive also not to be underestimated. it is not fast from the dig but from 35mph to 100mph it is as fast as i want and will go around a corner. and as for room there is plenty for me so thats enough.
