Taking your opinion with a mountain of salt.

Of course it felt cheap though. Duh, it is a cheap car. Surely you didn't expect a plush interior on a cheap car?

Friend of mine recently bought a brand new 09 cobalt SS. I haven't ridden in it but he said that little turbo 4 sure has some guts to it.

Don't mind him, he's an idiot. His goal is to troll every thread that mentions any North American car.

I'm pretty sure I did, when I went and bitched GM customer care out I found out that my car was built at the end of the first week of production for the car itself. I will have to admit though, Chevy and GM bent over backwards making it as easy as it could possibly be, I got a full size, fully paid rental every time it was in the shop and a free tank of gas in my car when I got it back.

The engine was pretty peppy for a car its size though, I got rid of it and obtained an 08 VW GTI, which I enjoy much more :)

The 2005 model had something stupid like 200 TSBs, it must have all been smoothed out by 06

You ever get your GTI flashed? I'm leaning heavily towards getting it Revo tuned since they're having their sale.

Do it, you wont regret it. Its a whole new ballgame with it. It really should have come this way from the factory :)

Gah, stop trying to make me part ways with my moneys. Did you get a boost gauge with it as wel? Which shop did you bring it to? I was going to take it to Canyon Racing and possibly get the Awe Gauge.

No boost gauge, I like my stock look. I did it at Stuttgart Performance, pretty cool people there.

If you want, get the 5 hour free trial if you want to decide if its worth it or not.
