Well I’m in the market for a newer car and a 06-07 Cobalt SS is in my price range. So my question to you guys that own or have experince with the cobalt SS is, are they reliable? and do they have any know problems? The reason I ask is I’m a college student and I put about 450 miles a week on my truck (which is an unreliable blazer). So I need something that isn’t going to break down or give me problems all the time. The reason I came across the SS cobalt is I have liked them since they came out, I like the way they look and their good on gas. This will be my first car that I will be making payments on so I dont want it to be a mistake, I would appreciate any advice. ---

I’ve heard good things about these cars. Leave it stock and enjoy it and I’m sure it’d be a good DD. ---

I’m hoping, the only time I’ve heard of them having problems is when people mod them and dont tune them. ---

Aren’t they direct injection or is that only for the newest model? If you’re making payments on it and you’re that young just enjoy the car and be smart with it. ---

I don’t know when they started being turbo but the supercharged ones are like 80 bucks for an oil change or something. ---

they are a solid DD if you keep it stock. When you add mods is when they start giving you problems. ---

I thought I heard someone talking about these and oil changes, its basically just a bigger than usual socket to get a cap off that covers the oil filter, its under the engine cover or something. 80 buck sounds steep to me? ---

I was woundering if they had a tool for these ones. ---

> [@gtzracer93](#): > > thanks guys, yea I hear you need to remove the S/C to get to the oil filter?? you could…but you don’t have to. I just remove my throttle body, one piece of intake and some wiring. Pretty simple. And there is a socket to get the oil filter cover off. It’s like 32 or 33mm With a proper tune there should be no problems with a modded SS. ---
