im getting ready to trade in my n/a honda civic and place a Cobalt ss on order, before I do this I would like to know what things you Cobalt owners would do different or what special packages or special things you would get now if you could go back before purchasing your Cobalt, thanks.

i dont have one....yet...but, i want a sunroof because it is great to have, the airbags because extra safety never hurt, and possibly the G85 package. Now, I dont need XM cause I dont listen to the radio, and I dont need onstar because thats why i have a cell phone.

I would have gotton a sunroof.. and definitly xm radio. I had it in my other car and now I can't live without it.

XM, I've got it in my work van. I did end up going out and getting a Delphi SkyFi2, but with the wireless FM modulator it sounds like crap. I got a "direct connect" modulator that is supposed to sound better, but it blocks out all the other FM stations when the SkyFi is powered on. XM sounds so much better in my van on it's Pioneer unit...

And the G85 package. I hear the Recaros are more comfortable and lsd would be nice when I visit my family for Christmas in PA (7" of snow last time I went up). I hate flying enough to drive 16 hours each way.

make sure you get the upgraded sound system with XM satelite.. thats my favorite thing about mine. The sound system w/ sub in trunk is BAD ASS

Im definitely getting a sun roof and for the sound system, I have a amp with 2 10" subs in my trade in, will the Cobalt be able to thump like my other car?
is the g85 package still available?? i read somewhere that it wasnt.
how much is xm radio a month?
thanks.

It depends on what your older system is made up of and how well the box was designed. For just 1 10" in the Cobalt, it sounds pretty decent (the box doesn't take up much room, either). But of course 2 quality 10" subs with more juice in a well built box are going to sound better. I'd suggest going down to a dealership and listening to the Cobalt's stereo for yourself. You should be able to find one somewhere fairly close now so that you can check it out before laying down that non-refundable deposit.

They quit taking orders for G85 on 2005 models because of supply issues. But the option is available again for the 2006's. If you order now, you will get a 2006.

If you get XM with the car, the first 3 months are free. After that it is $12.95 a month billed quarterly.

Any word yet on when the g85 2006's will arrive. I just wreck my car (an '04 Ralliart) and dont want to wait too much until I get another one. Was planning on the SS But again I dont want to wait...

G85 if you can get it you won't regret LSD on your SS, and if yah wanna do a burn out down the road...you can always disable it lol. Sunroof would be nice too.....it all depends on what you want outta your car tho, if you're going for performance only...then just get a functional car and STRIP IT! hahaha

What is the G85 package?

How on earth would you disable your limited slip? It will still do plenty of burnouts with the LSD in there, by the way.
