The 2008 Chevy Cobalt SS just one used in the Pontiac Solstice GXP, Saturn Sky Red Line and Chevy HHR SS. http://www.autoblog.com/tag/cobalt/HOME | BStuff.com Chevrolet Beretta Owners Forum > Mazda 3 Gt Or G5 Gt?:: Better then both those cars for year round driving and probably a lot more . The problem with the cobalt ss and the g5 gt is there are very few for sale http://www.bstuff.com/lofiversion/index.php/t55694.htmlHOME |
the cobalt SS. the Cobalt SS, if purchased with a manual transmission, has a 260 hp turbo charged 2.0l 4cyl motor with a modified sport suspension on it.
the G5 GT, according to the pontiac website, has a 170 hp 2.4l naturally aspirated 4 cyl.
Cobalt SS
I USED to have an Impala SS (2006) until I totaled it because I put way too many performance upgrades in it and got a little excited one night after a couple cocktails. I recently drove the Cobalt SS and it AMAZED me. It drives like it has an 8 cylinder in it. The handling is incredible, something you would expect a BMW to have, like a 330 CI. I think the Cobalt is a little less-expensive too, right? cobalt 2.4l sport. - Motor Trend The General Forum Forum:: 15 posts - 3 authors - Last post: Jan 28If you want a better Cobalt, wait until the summer when the SS BUT, I would suggest the Pontiac G5 2.4l(same car different emblem). http://forums.motortrend.com/70/6539087/the-general-forum/cobalt-24l-sport/index.htmlHOME |
Also, I am 6'2'' and I fit in the driver's seat perfectly so its got some room for a "compact". Go for the Cobalt!! Good luck!
TO THE PEOPLE WHO SAID THE COBALT SS IS THE SAME CAR AS THE G5 GT:
WRONG!!!!!
Do your homework. The G5 GT is built on the W platform GM uses, the Cobalt is actually a prototype Apel.
Honestly, I've always been partial to the Cobalt SS because the Pontiac is just a rebadged Cobalt. Plus, I've heard nothing but good things about the SS. Car and Driver loves the car, which says a lot because they are very fickle about American cars. It puts up times on the track that are comparable to much more expensive cars, and it holds the road very well. It has a G force grip of .91, and anything over .9 is considered excellent, especially for a front wheel drive car. Check out the article from Motor Trend I have listed under sources. I don't think you'll be sorry you got that car. My vote is for the Cobalt.
Its the exact same car except a few body panels and its built in the same plant.
Both have the same 173 hp 2.4L I4 with a 4 speed auto (both are mislabeled in their descriptions). I'd get the Pontiac because I like the blue.
love - The W body was a FWD midsized car. That was used for the Grand Prix, Impala, Monte Carlo, several Oldsmobiles and Buicks. The G5, Cobalt, Saturn Ion, Opel Astra, and HHR are all built on the Delta FWD compact platform.
In case you do not know.
These are exactly the same cars. Both are owned by GM.
The Cobalt SS and G5 GT use the same engines, chassis, suspension, everything.
Only differences are the lights, grills, badges, and slight differences in bumpers.
I would get the Pontiac because there is less of them so they are less common. Too many people buy Chevy Cobalt SS.

Do anyone else have an itchy anus? ?
