It all boils down to weather you want a sports car, or just a daily driver...
Cobalt SS/SC, Mazdaspeed3... they are all meant to be a power house sporty car, not for everyone kinda driver.
It all boils down to what kind of car you want to be driving.
For me, if I wanted a daily driver.. I would have kept my Taurus and saved myself a lot of money.
My two cents..

The STi cannot even be compared to the ss/sc, you could buy two new ss/sc's for the price of one STi.
In terms of the 2.5iSE being compared to the cobalt lt for the ss/sc, it'd be the ss/na. Its nice that they are throwing in sexy Enkie gunmetals and cobb racing springs, not cheap!

Tough call. it might boil down to whether you want 2 doors or four?
short post....... gotta change my underwear. some days its depends (how many sicko's got that one)

If your thinking about SS/NA vs. WRX/NA then go with the subaru. that is easy. keeping stock then I would have to take the SS/SC. I dont know how good the stereo is in the Subaru. If you were planning on doing autocross for fun I think the Subaru may be more fun unless you were considering the SS/SC with LSD.

Yeah - I hear that. I don't trust the stock tires on ice - even with the ABS.
PS - The dealer charged me just under $100 for a rear plastic grill insert. So much for ordering parts through them. I checked on GMPartsDirect.com and they charged even MORE, with the stupid "handling" fee that costs more than the parts. Anyone know where to get parts near dealer list instead of the retarded MSRP?

OK, so I ordered a roll of grill mesh. When it arrives, I'll figure out the cost per foot and yous can order any length you want ;-)

So, what time do we drop our cars off for tint? I start work at 4:00pm and will hang around all day till it's done, lol - I have no "spare".
Current Date List for tint:

Better pick a spot (Tuesday).
Oh, and my DIC says I get better fuel economy than what GM advertises for the 2.2L Cobalt HAHahaha - in WINTER, LOL. I love it. Premium FTW. Also, to those who up-shift as fast as possible (you know who you are, lol) and use RPM to guage fuel savings - it doesn't work. I tried that, and now I just shift between 2500 and 3500 and my economy is way better. Why? Cause it's not boosting and using extra fuel to make the HP/TQ needed to push the car in a higher gear at low RPM - high revs FTW!........
Today's DIC reading: 9.1L/100KM - all city baby.

good gas mileage. Bet it will drop before the end of the tank though. or if you manage to do one tank it wont happen again cause summer is almost here LOL. Actually it will be better in summer as it heats up.
As for tint the deal is drop off. not hang around for it. to come back for 4:00 maybe arranged and if this is not good you may want to leave a $100 deposit. you see you pay more if it is not easy on him and he has time constraints. lets all try and keep it simple E1. we all sacrafice to get the price.
I got this one. PM Sent.
#611
E1? I don't know what that means yet, lol. Anyway, I've had the same gas mileage for a month now. Just thought it was funny that it's lower than what GM posts for the 2.2L - usually it's more - I'm happy :-)
What's the tint shop name/ph# SSnipes? I wanna call and see what would work for him - drop off very early on 27th or pay $100 before the job and have it done on my day off. Thanks :-) . Cause I'm not just gonna walk home or take the bus home, and have no ride to work, lol - Let alone leave it there overnight.
Oh, and Peg-City, the price was $165 plus taxes for 5 windows or $180 plus taxes if you want the windshield bar done too.

My L/100Km was 8-10 for the firs month. Then I figured I can have fun for an extra few bucks per month.... Now I am sitting at around 11.
If you want funny reset your thingy that calculates your gas. Go to a red light with it reset and give it full throttle to the next light. Then cry when you have just consumed a 1/8 tank in a few seconds.
Bit of an exaggeration maybe but i do cry easy

First off you may only call him after you gave a deposit in. if E1 starts calling him then it does not make it easy for him.
two - you have concerns then PM Me please.
three - Many of you have asked some valid concerns and I raised it with him. rather than PMING you directly I thought I would post it like this.
the break down for spots for cars is this

Old tint removal is $120 (only one car needed this).
Once you give a deposit then you can call to arrange a time. the bulk of cars should be done on these dates and I think we should be able to accomodate this now. there is a pool hall on portage close by too so that is where I will be....LOL.
Now for the very very good news. Info can be given to you. but email me or PM me your email address and I will respond. IT IS REGARDING PRICING of course.

How do I give a deposit if I can't call them until I've given a deposit? I'm confused. Oh well, I won't have to give a deposit if I get the spot I want.
