My new car
Thursday, July 17, 2008 11:24 PM
So, for the past couple years, I've enjoyed not having a car payment. I didn't enjoy however, the brain jarring sound of my Cavalier, along with it's idling issues, and not being nearly as safe as most cars should be, not having a horn, or cruise control....I finally broke down and got me something that I could enjoy, get good gas mileage out of, and still have some fun.







GM is taking BIG steps in the right direction.

I don't understand what your asking. You bought at Corolla exactly for the opposite reason? What's the opposite reason?

He bought a Corolla, because in his opinion, GM is taking big steps in the WRONG direction.

That's beauty part of opinions. It doesn't matter if you both agree or not, you are both right.

Color me jealous.

Very impressive car considering reviews, I'd tip my hat to GM on this one too. Funny because it doesn't have an import label it'll be bashed.

Oh well, enjoy it!

If I'm not mistaken, all the 2.0 LNF cars are 5-speeds. I know in 2009 they are releasing a sedan LNF powered Cobalt. Dunno if they will have an automatic version then are not.

But back to your question, yes it's a stick and no, I have not tried the no-lift shift yet. Car only has ~500 miles on it. I will probably wait a little longer until I actually take it all the way to redline and try out the no lift shift.

Im sure whoever did the PDI tried it out and went to redline at least once.
