Chevy Cobalts suck.

My fiance and I rented a car from Enterprise while his Spec-V was getting a new tire put on. My car is also in the shop getting extra work done to it.. so we had no car. We had no choice but to rent a Chevy.

I mean, the car rides nice.. but it just doesn't do it for me. It's a 2006, but I don't know, I much rather prefer my 10 yr old car to a brand new one.

I just don't like Chevy's. The Cobalt's are pretty slow too. I'm sure the SS is faster.. we just have some slow base model Cobalt. It makes me miss the 240, or hell, even the Spec-V even more right now.

I like the look of the SS's, minus that horrid wing...

i'd take a Corolla XRS any day, though (even if it is a chick car)

*shrugz* I have nothing against Chevy's... imo, I don't really like Nissans all that much either... I don't plan on buying any more unless it's another 240 or a Skyline. If I had to buy an American car, it'd be a Chevy~ definitely not any of the crap Cobalt, Malibu, or even the Monte Carlo. But like a '96 Impala, C6 Corvette or one of the older ones, or definitely one of those Silverado's with the turbodiesel engines.

I hate Silverado's. Some dip**** with one backed into my car and left a huge dent and chipped painted on my brand new hood.

Boy was I pissed. He had to pay me $1,500 though. That was pretty funny considering the hood does not cost that much. I just found the most expensive bodyshop around.

i'd take almost any nissan... i think their whole line up is badass... i'd also take a titan over a chevy truck. getting a Supra fits in there somewhere too

yeah well it's all a matter of personal preference + experience... I love my 240 for all the usual reasons (lightweight, rwd, blah, blah, blah) , but imo I think Nissans aren't as reliable as Honda's, not as easy to work on, cost slightly more to maintain... Last time I checked Titan's don't come in diesel (correct me if I'm wrong), and diesel engines easily last mucho mucho longer... as for the Supra~ nothing but respect for them, they're definitely monsters (heck I'm scared of cars THAT fast) but I'd rather have a RB26det powered car... Kinda like, yeah that chick is HOT but just not my type...
