Replying to: gerald41 (Mar 09, 2008 7:17 pm) I just got Michelin Primacy tires. They replaced a set of Goodyear Assurance Comfortreds that I originally bought to replace the OEM Pirelli P6. The Comfortreds are not a good fit for the Cobalt. The rubber is not stiff enough and control is poor. The Michelins are much better however they tend to track in the rain grooves of the freeways in San Diego. Its very annoying but theres nothing I can do about it. The other thing I noticed about the Michelins was that there is a lot of excess rubber on the tire. I expected to see a little of it but some pieces are big enough to grab with my fingers. I found that a little odd.
#101 of 200 Cobalt - worst car I ever drove by mytemp095 Apr 23, 2008 (3:53 am)
I am currently renting a new Cobalt and it it the worst car I have ever driven. It is very uncomfortable. The handling is poor. The gas milage is below average, only 15 mile per gal. for the city and 28 for the highway. If you want a much better car get the Mazda3Speed. Better pickup, handling, comfort and gas milage. My 2003 Honda Accord V6 has a better pickup and better gas milage than the Cobalt!

Replying to: mytemp095 (Apr 23, 2008 3:53 am) You're renting a Cobalt and you already know what the mileage is? I smell a troll.

Replying to: mytemp095 (Apr 23, 2008 3:53 am) That's interesting because I rented a Mazda 3 2-months ago because they were out of Aveo's and it was a descent car, but not quite to my liking for a compact car but I had no reason venture over to the Mazda forum to trash it. Though the Mazda probably has the best style in the compact class, the front seating is rather cramped and because of its design there are too many blind spots. Though descent cars, Mazda's aren't known for mileage and are usually at the bottom of the charts in that catagory. Cobalts have very good sure footed handling, mileage, and arguably best in class engines (Ecotecs) no matter which level of car you get. The recent Car & Driver buyers guide said this is a great all day driver.   I also felt you had a made up a story for whatever reason, and don't sound sincere. Why even bother coming over to this forum?

Replying to: mytemp095 (Apr 23, 2008 3:53 am) For one thing you're talking about a rental. Who knows what abuse the thing has been through. Of course a V6 that makes a good 100hp more will have better pickup. I'm not sure about the mileage because I got up to 37MPG on mine. I agree with poncho167 the car is a good handler (even with the stock tires) and the Ecotec has a great reputation. Seat comfort is a matter of preference I guess.

Replying to: georgecavalier (Apr 24, 2008 7:40 am) It was a made up story from some kid who probably lost a race or is mad that the write ups of the new turbo SS has it beating the Mazda speed in every way.
#107 of 200 1 year anniversary by harrisblack Jun 18, 2008 (12:34 pm)
Today is the 1 year anniversary of ownership for my white 2007 Cobalt. It has 4700 miles with no problems. We get 20 plus to 30 plus in gas mileage. It's been a good car. Replies to this message: steve333 (Jun 18, 2008 1:38 pm) justus3 (Jul 02, 2008 3:43 pm)

Replying to: harrisblack (Jun 18, 2008 12:34 pm) Hope you have better luck than I do. My Balt is an 06 with 40000 miles and my steering column was replaced twice and my intermediate shaft is about to be replaced for the second time. I suggest you get an extended warranty.
