i test drove the 2.0T, it was fun as hell! it has a stupid 1st gear blocker, like ya cant go from 3rd to first, gotta get used to it and to go into reverse, its a bitch, you really gotta push to the left to get it in, it doesnt duck down or pull up, crappy design imo ---

I would have said genesis but I drove one and hated it so much I do not wish one upon anybody. However I have never driven a cobalt which I am sure sucks as well. I voted cobalt since I can only fathom the suck compared to confirming the suck. ---

I voted cobalt since I can only fathom the suck compared to confirming the suck. drive an ss/tc. I did a 13 hour stint driving Choko’s and was able to walk afterwards. Comfy with plenty of power and the nitrous dind’t hurt either. I felt safer at 140 in his car than I do in my T/A. ---

This is NYSpeed. For 22k you should buy a 100k mile exotic or luxury sedan so you can pretend you’re far more baller than you are. ---

Have you driven a 2.0t? I took a track 2.0T out for a test drive, ready to buy. The rev hang issue is def. a turn off, and it made the car hard to drive smooth, you have to granny shift it to drive smoothly. I don’t know if they fixed it yet, but otherwise I’d buy it. ---

It was supposed to be the “next big thing”, but it never materialized… they’re out there…their community is growing. I have heard the turbo doesn’t make ANY power stock and that there have been a few popped motors surfacing (modded cars). ---

Going into debt for a new car that you plan to mod is a bad idea. I’d rather have the out of warranty proven car then wreck the warranty on my new car.
