#Chevy cobalt ss manual

My Real Homeīetween work as a mobile service representative and visiting my wife (then girlfriend) who live across town, I basically lived in that car. And the smells my clutch would make after departing from a dead stop would make a mechanic cry. I distinctly remember having about a 90 km/h top speed on the highway due to a combination or weight or aerodynamic drag. Will filled that it to the brim with crap, including the world’s heaviest couch and some small appliances. I rented a 5’ X 8’ enclosed trailer, which towered over my car. Since it was hitched, I got overzealous and offered to help move my sister and her fiancé to their new house. I took that car and PWC camping all over the providence. Like my Camaro, I put on hitch on it to tow my WaveRunner. But despite the 32 hp advantage, I only ever got the Cobalt to go 0.15 seconds faster than the Alero at the drag strip. The Cobalt weighed roughly the same as my old Alero, and had a larger, more powerful engine from the same Ecotec family. The car was affordable and decent enough on gas, but it never delivered the performance I expected. As Meatloaf said, two out of three ain’t bad. I wanted a car that straddled the line between being entertaining to drive, was decent on gas and I could afford. Ok, it wasn’t the full-out Cobalt SS Supercharged, but I still signed the dotted line on a shiny 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt SS with the newly introduced 2.4-liter Ecotec engine. But as often happens with me, I threw that plan out the window and wound up leaving with a Cobalt SS instead.

Buy a base Cobalt coupe, with a manual transmission, to save money and gas. I went into the dealership with an honest enough mission. When we last left my vehicular adventures, I had just acquired a new job, sold my Camaro and now needed a newer, more reliable car.
