I sold my unmodified Cobalt SS TC in three days earlier this year. I'd say it falls into the Neon SRT camp of breathed on rental cars.
Reminds me of the "DOORMAN!!" scene from Knocked Up. Except the minivan driver was nowhere near as hot as Leslie Mann.
So now they're charging us to watch full reviews? Dear oh dear...
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?
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.
