went and test drove some cars today... Posted By: Fattie On: 05-12-2008 @ 23:27:12 Reply | Edit well me and a buddy tried to go out a couple weeks ago, but missed all the dealerships before the closed. we started out earlier today. first on the list was a 02 Trans Am, it was at a small local dealership. it was an auto with 60k on it i think. not bad, the guy came with and wouldn't let my buddy come. so that was pretty stupid. but it was like any other TA, nothing special. guy wanted a lot for it, and i don't want an auto so no go second on the list was a 04 GTO, also an auto, but i just wanted to drive it. this was at a nice dealership. the guy let me and my friends take it out for as long as we wanted, not too worried. too bad we only had 1/8 tank of gas so we couldn't go far. had a good drive, my friends got a feel for a GTO, since i wanted their opinion on it. next we took out a 06 i think Cobalt SS. my buddy was kind of interested in one so he drove it. not a bad little car. the supercharger is pretty damn quite in it, and the car overall is pretty quiet. next car out was a 03 infinity g35 6 speed. never been in one before so i didnt' know what to expect. me and my friend both drove it. actually a pretty damn nice car. handled pretty damn nice, and those brembo brakes felt great. i liked the car but with my short legs i was too damn close to the dash after moving the seat up. so i didn't like that. my buddy liked the car a lot though, and totally changed his mind about the cobalt after driving the g35. can't blame him haha after that we went and took out a 07 mustang gt. wasn't very impressed with it. sounded good, but i didn't like the interior at all. the guy was hesitant about me taking it out and of course came with. it wasn't a bad car...just not my cup of tea at all. overall nice afternoon driving some cars. there wasn't a whole lot to offer around here for fun cars so that kind of sucked. i just wanted to try some different cars out there and see what i liked. wanna get into something here soon if the wallet can handle it. haha --  Posted By: Calaban007

I couldn't even think about buying a new car right now. I'm glad you are in a position you can.

Supercharged cobalts aren't that nice, the new turbo ones though, that is a different story. -- http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2210351 94 Formula A4

And are you sure the Cobalt SS was supercharged? They make them with just the 2.4. Just saying that cuz I can hear the supercharger if I recall correctly. I've driven a few of them.

I didnt really think much of them til I sat in one at the auto show (C5 back in the day) after that there was no turning back, though I dont know how well they would do in the wisconsin winters --
