If this isn't #1 then we'll have irrevocable proof that Jalopnik top ten lists are rigged!
Pricing not yet available on the Canadian site. I predict an exorbitant difference in the monthly payment.
The accountant in me says Stingray. Because the value for money cannot be beaten.
Okay, that's properly impressive! But if it's going to replace valets will it automatically go hoon itself through the parking garage and then post the footage on YouTube?
Obligatory.
Dare I dream that one day I can say "KITT, I need you pal!" into my watch and my self-driving Trans Am comes flying round the corner and opens its door in time to trip up the fleeing bad guys?
DARE I DREAM?!?!?!
I'd never buy a car to impress a fine lady (not saying this guy did either) but if the ladies are impressed by the car, well now that's just a pleasant bonus, isn't it?
So, you're going that route, huh? I'm done here.
You're right. I'm wrong. $150 every three months or 1,000 km that I'd put on a car over that time is completely reasonable. And Mobil1 is shit. Only the oil from the rarest of whales is good enough for a Cobalt!
Frankly I don't care if it's running in 200+K miles as I'd never have kept it that long. It ran perfectly…
Do you live in the US or Canada? Not that it should matter. I told him the dealer was trying it on and as long as you have records of maintenance in keeping with the manufacturer's schedule (not the dealers) you should have all the recourse you require for warranty claims. Now, he has the benefit of me saying…
My friend puts 5,000 km (3,000 miles) on his car a year. I could eat off them valves! I don't put the mileage on my cars to justify three month oil changes - I go by mileage which generally means for my daily driver six months (I've put 5,000 km on since April). I've used this approach for years and never had engine…
I think we both know the dealer's trying it on. Three months? Come on! I told him it was a joke and to have a word with the Service Manager. He's now at a six month schedule where he should be. Even at that with the mileage he puts on he could do a full syn change once a year and be perfectly fine.
My argument is an…
My Cobalt SS had an oil life monitor that told me I needed an oil change on average every ten months (I would take it in at 15%, warnings start at 10%). I only did three changes in the two and a half years and 30,000 km I owned it. Now if I went by the three month rule, three oil changes and $450 for the Mobil 1 full…
No wall of boxes? That's disappointing.
While SkyActiv is the way of the future I'm concerned about an excessive maintenance schedule. A friend of mine bought a Mazda3 last year and barely uses it (it's only got 6,000 km on it now) but regardless of mileage Mazda is telling him to get the car in for its $150 synthetic oil change every three months or risk…
You wouldn't think Ontario was anti-green in looking at all the wind turbines popping up all over the province or the "Green cars allowed" signs on all our HOV lanes. I I guess it's not the province as the incentive is pretty decent. It's the manufacturers hosing us and thinking that we don't know how to use an…
The bucking borders on dangerous! Pull into traffic and put your foot down and that wait between first and second is terrifying!
The Leaf's monthly lease payment for 36 months is $611. Not exactly $199. Complete hose job versus what you guys get! I was an electric car sceptic until I drove the Volt and it made me a believer. A genuinely impressive car. For cutting around downtown traffic it's outstanding. I'm sure the other electric cars would…
