Plus, I wouldn’t have to worry about the impending repair bills over the next 12 months. We ran the numbers and the amount of money I would owe in mileage penalty would be the same amount if I just bought out the car now and sold it back to the dealership. I was already so far over my allotted mileage and entering that magical phase of a car’s life where things started breaking. But only three years into my four-year lease, I dumped it (the car, not my wife). 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. Although quick, the Cobalts engine is noisy and returns paltry fuel economy. The seats lack support and the cabin feels cramped. Will filled that it to the brim with crap, including the world’s heaviest couch and some small appliances. It isnt very agile and the steering is too light at low speeds. Description: Used 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt SS with FWD, Preferred Equipment Package, Keyless Entry, Fog Lights, Spoiler, Alloy Wheels, 17 Inch Wheels, Sport Seats, Cloth Seats, and Independent Suspension. I rented a 5’ X 8’ enclosed trailer, which towered over my car. Mileage: 168,111 miles MPG: 22 city / 31 hwy Color: Orange Body Style: Coupe Engine: 4 Cyl 2.4 L Transmission: Manual. 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. The Cobalts factory 2006-2006 radio (Crutchfield Research Photo).
#Chevy cobalt ss 2006 manual
Buy a base Cobalt coupe, with a manual transmission, to save money and gas. The Chevrolet Cobalt rolled out in 2005 as the all (or mostly). 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.
