Hmmmmmmm...
My question is does anyone know what Chevy has in store for the 2008 version? I gather that there will be changes, for the better, hopefully. Is there any web-site online that can furnish what these changes are in detail? I do know that XM radio will be standard, that certain exterior colors are being dropped with new ones introduced, StabliTrak will now be available (finally!)...but that's about it. The SS supercharged model is being dropped too. I hope the interiors get a re-do also. In some models the interior looks like a bad boy racer's dream, if you get my drift. GM, are U listening? I doubt it.
Thanx!!!
Peace<- :shades: --
2008: Supercharged SS dropped from the model lineup, while the SS Coupe and SS Sedan were renamed to "Sport Coupe" and "Sport Sedan" respectively. XM Radio, side-impact air bags for improved safety, and MP3 player are now standard instead of options. StabiliTrak stability control system introduced. Other changes include the adding and removing of several colors and interior colors.
I'll keep in touch.
PLEASE keep in touch!!
The 4-1-1 U have is from Wikipedia. I know. And as U said the focus, excuse the pun, is on the "new" Malibu. GM: wake up!
Peace, and thanx again<- :shades: --
There is a sound around the front doors/windows like the door/windows aren't shut properly, but they are.
Our dealer has tried to fix this problem but with no decent results.
I was wondering if anybody else has had the same problem.
Thanks
I know what you mean about the potential in this car, we have a 2007 LT Sedan, so much better than our 2004 Cavalier before.
We have some annoying problems that our dealer is trying ti fix but all in all we really like it, apart from the very poor rear leg room!..
You're right, I think dealers have their own maintenance schedule because mine and my dealer's differs pretty much. Yes, they like to make easy money on their customers.
We didn't have much snow this year, but the Cobalt did fine in the snow we did have. Mine came with Continental tires, which many have complained about but they have done fine too, and still have plenty of tread left at 30,000 miles. And now that gas is over $3 a gallon here I'm even more satisfied with my Cobalt.
Can you please help him by telling what model you own and how old are you.
Thanks in advance.
Sure, it's a stripper. But you can't beat that price! And it has, in my opinion, the best small car engine available. Is the Cobalt the new Model T ??
On another note, I really like my car. It is very comfortable on long drives, and pretty good on gas.
By the way 5-speed manual - get between 32 and 35 mpg mixed driving. Zero Problems with the car so far (about 11,000 miles).
What do you think of black cars. Good choise or not.
In the past my cars were beige, gray, red and blue. Now my wife wants black for our next car. Need some advise, negative or positive.
When I got the car the leather surface looks fine. After several usess, it started to crampled and wrinkled a lot.
I got this car with 29 miles on the odometer. At 1,000 miles mark at I reset the mpg computer and never reset since. Today, at almost 6,000 miles on the odo, mpg computer displays 32.3 mpg. Is this accurate?
I am driving mostly in the Buffalo, NY and suburbs area. Twice I drove the car to NYC. One time to Toronto, Canada.
I see your driving mostly in Buffalo, right in the "snow belt". I am looking forward to buy a Cobalt next year. How did it do in winter driving and did you changed your tires for winter tires or you drove on the 4 seasons? That's my biggest concern... winter driving with a Cobalt.
It's a 2001 Pontiac Aztek AWD that I drive most of the time during wintery weather.
Dealer say it does not come stanadard. I have to pay $103.81(part # 15773841) plus labor.
It's hard for me to believe GM allows the car to leave the factory without this important piece to protect the radiator.
Anybody who owns a Cobalt SS supercharged or not. Does it comes with the lower radiator grille stanadard?
You may save me over a hundred bucks.
We're talking of a couple of thousand dollars here for almost the same car. I know that the SS (not supercharged) is a bit more equipped and has more h.p. but is it worth that large difference in price?
What would be my best buy for my money's worth? LT or SS?
There's so much of them, there must be a most popular color?
Stabilitrak will be available as an option on some models (This is good since it isn't available on many competing small sedans until the new 2009 Corollas come out in February.
Traction control will be thrown in if you get an automatic with optional ABS brakes.
XM radio standard on non-fleet versions.
Standard side curtain airbags deleted from fleet versions
I think it will continue on with the same old 4-speed automatic since I haven't ready any different, but I wonder if the new Malibu LTZ 4 cylinder models will have better mpg than a Cobalt due to it's six-speed automatic.
That would be sad, but for the right price it may be an OK car if you don't care much about resale value and low mpg compared to many similar small sedans such as the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla.
I just tried to price a 2008 LT out on a couple web sites and Stabilitrak is not showing as available. It is supposed to be part of the 2LT package, but it isn't listed in the included equipment in that package.
Maybe it's a "delayed availability" option.
I'm just curious if someone knows of a website on what happens or what I should do. Also pro's & con's.
My only worries is that it was one "accident" (I wasn't driving, which makes it very depressing). Cause? Honestly I don't know. Driver says steering wheel & brakes locked up, so we went over a very very small sidewalk curb (one that I KNOW normally wouldn't affect the car). Front axle broke and something else, but I don't know.
It has been in the shop twice for needing rotation of tires and other things, only because I had a hard time seeing where the curb is when I first started driving (I'm short. Can't quite help it).
Only problem I have now deals with the windshield wiper having a delay & engine not always starting up the same. But it will be going into the dealership soon, if its under the warranty (which, btw, we got many extended warranties).
Other than that, absolutely no problem at all. Completely love the car and the MPG.
I just believe we are over paying for the car. Almost $370/month 60-months for a the lowest trim possible. Quite crazy if you ask me. I might as well get something nicer if we are paying that.
**By the way, are others paying less or more than this?? Just curious**
THANKS. I'm really hoping to get the supercharge after the beginning of the year soon. Think thats smarter than upgrading the LS.
However, the instrument cluster does not appear to have a coolant temperature gauge, which is odd. Is this true, or is it located somewhere out of sight? If there is no gauge, is there at least an idiot light?
Are these cars pretty reliable? What are the most annoying issues with them? I know the resale value stinks, but it also does on my '99 Mazda 626 V6.
