hey guys i am looking to get me a new car.....is eithe rgona be a srt4 or cobaltss...any cobalt ss owners in here??that could give me sum info on urs cars as of reliability bea ton it on the weeknds and still depend on it as your daily driver..what are the main problems with these cars if any??anyone know of a site just for cobolt owners???

 

I think I'd prefer the SRT-4 here.

 

ok..any reasons why??is the srt-4 just better built??

 

colbalt ss is the same as the saturn redline. colbalt has metal body and weights a little more. redline has plastic body. there are a decnt amount of after market support for the colbalt however the srt has alot of after market support. you will hit a wall with tuning on the colbalt 's supercharger and then everything from there becomes custom. srt you mearly have to upgrade with company produced parts.

 

I bet the Cobalt SS would be a fun car. The Neon has more potential though.

 

it isn't a bad car. i mean i have driven the redlines. they handle nice anyways. a bitch to launch

 

well i looked at one yestrday at the dealer 23,995 for the 07 model....DAMN!! i think i jus tmight buy me a used one beter with low miles...only thin gi dont like bout srts is the 4 door part...for some reason i think the cobolt would last longer too..and i only have seen a few around here srt4 are just bout evry corner i turn into.

 

Ive heard the Neons ahve a lot of problems too. I dont think I could drive a Neon anyways.

 

neons like with most chrysler based motors have problems with burning and leaking oil. there are a hell of a lot more parts for them aftermarket wise. you might want to hold out on either one because the dodge caliber is supposed to have an srt option since it is the successor to the neon. it should have a little more power and prolly be more reliable since it was made AFTER the germans cleaned up chrysler's mess. don't expect it to be easy on the eyes though because the calibers i have seen are as ugly as the new durrangos.

 

yeah calibur is ugly as hell,i am also not a fan of the neon,i probably just buy me the cobolt after all
