please post your high milage 2.2L cobalts
i have an 06 cobalt daily driver with 82K miles. purchased new. never any real problems (had some issues with idle surging, but it never really became a real problem). car gets tremendous gas milage and hasnt skipped a beat.
what is considered "high" milage for these 2.2L cars? i have a 5 speed manual and hope to get 200K miles. i drive a LOT of highway miles.

Uhh, you're pretty up there dude.. I wouldn't be surprised if the entire car just shattered in about a week.
Lol but seriously, 82k? Thats prolly up there in terms of what people have on the forum. There is a thread floating around somewhere about this very topic.

if there is another post about this. could someone link me? no reason to make two posts about the same thing.
i put about 22-25K miles a year on a car. all highway. my cars interior's always look spotless for "newer" cars. the only thing that you can tell its high milage is the odometer and the front bumper (no way to avoid that with bugs/rocks/etc on the highway).
hoping to get close to 200K miles on this. i maintain it well and hope i can get close to that type of milage. you only see hondas have that type of milage it seems. maybe i can be the exception for cheaper american cars?
