well if you get a volkswagen, make sure you get a custom ordered one with roll up windows.
better yet, get a custom one that doesnt have any sort of electrical anything...

negative, i was very busy this weekend. i'm hoping one night this week
i believe the aftermarket for the Speed3 is larger, but the Cobalt is a better all around vehicle out of the box. from the factory it has better handling & brakes, it's lighter and faster.
My problem with the VW's is I really dont want just a nice car right now. If I did, the VW would be it. I want something fast and fun, so the advantage goes to the Cobalt and the Mazda.
Is it easier to mod the Speed3 compared to the Cobalt? The Mazda is a nicer car, and has higher resale value, but the Chevy is faster and has better mpg

But for 41 mpg hwy..... might be worth it. oh, and 1300$ tax credit
Anyone know anything about putting mods on the VW TDI? I heard that it can be done but is expensive.
Mazda has a much better resale value also, but I dont qualify for the 4500$ cash-for-clunker on the mazda.

Capt....... i'm not just saying this because this is a Cobalt forum..... but i honestly believe that the Cobalt SS/TC is exactly what you're looking for. and with only a few hundred $ in mods.... you'll be EXTREMELY happy with it.

people who had it before me never put on a flex pipe i guess so the exhaust cracked in half and the TPS is shot and need to be replaced, the idle is real bad, besides from those 2 things its good, clutch grabs nice, interior is decent. stereo still works.
