During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today.

I've never seen a cobalt ss so clean and unmodified
I agree but tbh,most Cobalts' stock headlights look like trash so if I really wanted a more agressive looking car I'll change the headlights first.
I own this exact car aside from the digital pod on the pillar, I have the analog dial, love seeing my boost hit 25+ psi
@@kira2859 I personally don't mind it's stock headlights I think they look good
This was my first car in Need for Speed Most Wanted.
+GameAddict51 I remembered I used this car to beat Razor in MW
same !!!!! and the guy above me i also used it to beat razor,
omg heavy throwback days
seriously considering getting it btw
lol wow really lol good one lol
Mine too and in Shift2
One of the most underrated cars GM has ever produced.
olbear303 That's why I knew I had to film it :)
***** I thank you for the awesome review. The nostalgia is tugging at my heart. I had almost that exact car before I traded it for my 5.0
olbear303 Glad you enjoyed it!
In the end it's still a cobalt.
mmz77 Awesome
What a lot of enthusiasts don't know is that this is actually a fun, little car. I had the chance to drive one of these almost a year ago and they're quite a joy to drive on a backroad. Definitely an underrated car in the car community.
Very underrated car. This is a great car for the time and even now used if you can find one that is in good condition. Yes it is a Cobalt witch is a cheap car but hey, you get what you payed for. GM desperately needs to build more small fast cars. This car was truly a great performance car in its time.
knowxvill I'm sorry your comment is incorrect.
+ZL1Gimpelson For the cost of this car, back then, you could have gotten something much nicer. This car looks ok, but the interior quality sucks, and is basically a cavalier with a new body and turbo
They need to make a sportier spark.
@@naegleriafowleri76oh it's more than that
Thank you for finally doing my car! I own one of these and have it modded with 90 additional HP to 350 WHP and it is so underrated and the perfect sleeper for any rear wheel driver thinking they want to race a FWD "Old GM" product. I bought it used and always wanted to see someone review it from its stock specs. Needless to say the got it right from 08 - 10 by turbo charging! !!
Charles Terry Bryant II how much you pay for it cause I'm looking at one of these for my nextcar. Does it have a blow off valve or is that a mod?
Bullrider should go for around 6or 8k and blow of valve is a simple mod that makes that sweet sound everybody loves;)
The Pioneer sound system is the one reason I'll ever miss having a Cobalt. In the front seats with the tweeters (the back seat not so much), the sound is comparable to what you'll here in some high end vehicles but with more bass. Unfortunately that's literally all there is to miss unless you got the SS
Really? Mine came with a BOSE sound system...
I want to import one of these cobalt SS from the U.S. To New Zealand, there are way too many Silvias, Skylines, Civics and subarus here
you're complaining about too many SKYLINES. Smh
+Senior Lopez Exactly! Seems like everything has already been overdone here :/
Over a skyline? Ya and you'll beat a lambo too. SMH.
There are also alot of skylines(2005-present sedans) and civics and Subaru's in singapore
vegetable he might be talking about the ones in 2005-present skyline 200gt/250gt/350gt sedans
i still love my 06 supercharged model with a stage 2 kit muffler delete and bc racing coilovers. i push 275 bhp to the crank
Going to be picking up an 09 with 49k on her this weekend. Upgrading from my 2.2 cobalt. Cobalts are good cars. Mechanically they are excellent. Only thing that lets them down is the interior but most car people would rather have power and reliability vs a nice interior. Can't wait to buy mine.
DustinB855 I have a cobalt ls and I'm looking to get an SS as well. Did you end up getting the SS how much you pay?
@@bullridermusic2054 I want a cobalt for my first car, I need to set up a go fund me page for money first tho lol. I found one in Jacksonville for 1,500 and 28$ a month but if I can raise 2000 on gfm then I can just buy it straight up and still have 500$ left over lol
Gage Jernigan go get a job.
@@bronzeinabangan cant, I gotta wait another year bc state laws, my mom is probably gonna buy me a car anyway
@@gagejernigan5277 oh i see. nothing you can do with your age, you know. you just have to wait. you'll get there bud.
Thank you for this. As a former owner of this vehicle I can honestly attest that $2,500 worth of parts including a tune will have you kicking a 600whp skylines and vettes straight in the balls. It's easy to get it up to 500whp for two g's. Just google Cobalt SS Turbo vs Vette or a GT-R. You'll be amazed!
Tharee MaahthePuddi auto corrected his name lmfao.
knowxvill As much as i am a GM guy, this is grade "AAA" ricer WRX turbotard bullshit
You'd blow a hole in a piston or the block. You'd need at least 4 grand in the engine to handle the necessary boost to make that power. You're a fool if you think you can make that power for 2 grand.
knowxvill 370z are ugly as fuck in my opinion, I doubt you actually have one,do a quick video on it.
Also I don't really believe that he could beat a skyline with 2 g's of mods on a cobalt.
knowxvill I bought a used intake, and a catless downpipe for $250. And re flashed it for $120. It dynowed at 300whp and 370wtq. At 2,900 lbs. of curb weight and 24lbs of boost I raped a few evo's, sti's and a cbr 600 rr.
Find me another car that can make such power for such money. Stock internals hold close to 480whp, sure you'd need a clutch and full bolt ons, and and a used compressor wheel but that's all easily acquired with a $2,500 dollar budget. And fine, let's say it needs 5k to make 600whp. That all could be done for 14k with the car included. It's not the looks to me, it's the power.
An American car with manual transmission as standard? Impressive!
***** Haha yeah, seems like a rare thing nowadays haha
mustangs have always had it standard.
2014 Focus ST only comes in manual
armani1992 But the focus is a shared car between Ford US and Ford EU.
***** He said an AMERICAN car, lol.
Cobalt SS Gang all day!
Had an 07 SS/SC for my first car and loved every second I had with it. Thanks for the nostalgia!
I still drive my 08 SS. Bought it in 09, had a little over 5,000 miles. It now has over 90,000. It sure is a lot of fun to drive. Thing is still really quick.
Just for further info, that digital gauge has 6 other main displays (Air/fuel ratio, Boost Pressure, Digital speedo and lateral G meter, Torque and HP gauge, and spark advance). In a secondary display where the gear selection is shown in the video it can also display intake air temperature, fuel pressure, oil temperature, tire pressure, and a barometer.
0-60 in 5.5 seconds is quite impressive for a car like that!
It’s a 4 cylinder c6 z06, 4 pot brakes, launch control, NLTS, good suspension, good nurg time (fastest at its time for any fwd car) and nice wheels
This guy deserves the million subs he gonna get. Wonderful reviews! ALL OF THEM!
man i wish the Cruze had this engine
even though this is a 2010, the interior looks just a tad bit outdated
Russel Nguyen It was compared to the Cruze for sure.
***** if u ever get the chance id love to see a review on a chevy avalanche 2500
eddiekul7 not the C7 lol
Yeah it looks a bit 2002 ish
The design dates back to 05 so yeah, it's to be expected.
Thanks for reviewing my car! I have a 2009 in summit white, a rare paint colour only 203 made worldwide, love the turbo.
had one of these. Put maybe 1K into it in power mods and spanked 90% of what youll catch on the road.
That's what makes it funny lol. Seeing them get raped by a cobalt is priceless.
dantevelez531dv imagine by a saturn
John-Orlando Alvarado I drive an 04 Saturn Ion. Great little car, and has character...for a Saturn.
Unerring 01 a redline?
John-Orlando Alvarado Unfortunately, no. Just the regular sedan (nicest package with the cruise control and all that crap though).
This particular beautiful SS turbalt has the GMS1 kit as its very easy to tell from the 3.3 bar map sensor on the intake manifold and putting down 290WHP @21 psi of boost of its K04 turbo. I installed many of these kits back from 08-10 and these things rip for their day! Can believe that you filmed (or found one!) That bone stock besides the GMS1 kit! Amazing review! Ive kept my 08 turbalt to this day!
I remember watching this in March of 2015 shortly after this video came out. At the end of this video I was sold. I've been driving my 2009 Cobalt SS Sedan Turbo ever since.
You are like the best car reviewer ever! I've always watched your reviews I heard the 2015 mustang convertibles just hit the dealer I would like to ask you if you find one please review it :)
Thanks I have already watched the video I'm just really ready to see a convertible
***** I will certainly be doing one when I get some free time to head over to Ford
I want one so bad. These things were absolutely mental in 2010 and are still quick 10 years later.
As a Firebird guy I'm not a huge fan of the layout, but 260 factory HP from 2.0 litres of engine shows the muscle of GM. Bravo!
Also Kyle, when speaking numbers, say zero, not Oh. The 2008-10 2.0L turbo is Direct injected. First small car with a DI engine in the US. First seen in Saturn Sky Redline/Pontiac Solstice GXP and in Europe since 2004. It has a Saab transmission in it too, as well as rear brakes.
Wow Kyle. just, wow. You never cease to impress. Look how far you've come!!! You are one of the best youtubers out there, And with A great career path!!!! You can make any car seem amazing, and I just do not know how you do it. You are the perfect example of what a car guy should be. Let's see what 2015 Has in store for us!!!( Acura NSX, Many others, and I know for sure over 1 million subscribers!!! I know it!!!) :)
One of my all time favorite sleeper cars! Cheap, reliable (since it's a manual), and fun to drive! Sounds pretty good as well
I'm not a Chevy guy, but damn, that's kickass.
The best car reviews.
I used to have a 2007 Cobalt LT. My first car ever.
The Cobalt is a shiny reminder of rare GM cars. Back in the day me and one friend of mine removed, rebuilt and reinstalled the entire engine of the SS. It only took FOUR HOURS. The Cobalts are surprisingly well made. They can easily shred the tires off the wheels. It really handles like a house fly.
Onenof my favorite GM cars i have ever owned. Thanks for the video @saabkyle04 ! After i get my cts v i will have one of these as my daily!
To this very day I absolutely love these cars.
good review! i own a 2010 in the sort of rare crystal red metallic, love the car mine has a little extra kick to it (340hp) with minor mods
I used this car in Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition Remix, Need for Speed Shift and Forza Motorsport 4 and 2005 was one of the best years for Chevy
2010 was such a good year for the ss cobalt
god i wish it was rwd so much
I be watching this video like I aint had 2 of them already and about to get another
Gotta sober up after watching Mr.Regulars Neon SRT-4 vid.
I used this car in NFS pro street as battle machine dragster.
Love the cobalt, very cute compact car thats easy to drive and saves alot of gas. My top 5
Nice to meet you. I live in Japan. Cobalt is rarely seen in Japan It's cool.
Are General Motors vehicles ever commonly seen in Japan? Lol
These cars are definitely awesome little tuners to start out with. I bought mine 4 years ago. I love it. I've never had one problem with the car. It was supercharged. I ditched that and with a precision turbo. Car makes roughly 410whp. She definitely moves out quick. No one expects it that's the best part. These engines are built pretty strong. It's a nice cheap car to have fun an go fast in.
Underrated and under appreciated
That's a beautiful car ♥
Love these cars.. Recently sold mine, i think i love my subaru even more though ;)
I was looking to possibly trade my 2010 SS in for a wrx/sti......how do you like your new subaru? thoughts and comparisons?
James Germano Actually have an Evo now, some bad things happened with the Subie. But, when i had it, it was amazing. The only downside to the wrx is the radio and speakers are so bad, but its 10x better than the Cobalt. You should do it dude.
Cobalt will outlast the Subaru !
Nah a tuned Cobalt SS will murk any Subaru
if you listen to the whole video, the specs on this car are really quite impressive.
I've been looking these up a lot lately .. Its like you know me Kyle........ 😱😱😱😱
great vid man, i have an 2009 and IT PULLS. look up COBALT SS HALF MILE and you'll see just how capable the turbalt is. stock turbo with a few bolt ons and a good tune is a little street monster.
man this takes me back haha, i had a base model 2007 cobalt i ditched for a 14 charger sxt....memories of my first car i got with my own money
You need to start asking these dealerships for some test drives. The videos are already great but I think a test drive would really help the video.
Perfect
Could you please do more backlot start up videos? I love those, thank you!
Great video, very informative. I own a 2007 Monte Carlo LT, and I noticed the power window buttons and the stereo are the same. My Monte Carlo LT 3.5 V6 make 211HP and the same or close in torque, and it pulls all the way to 100MPH (the ride quality above a 100 mph is very good becuase of the soft sprung suspension), top speed is 112 (electronically limited) 0 to 60 in 8 seconds(claimed not tested) and it has a huge wing LOL --so yea it feels more like 240hp and torque so I think GM does underate their horsepower claims. SABEK KYLE do a vidoe on a 2007 monte Carlo SS, The last year the made a V8 Monte Carlo. I have seen the vidoe of the grey monte carlo you have, I think it was one of your first vidoes becuase the video quality was fuzzy, but they were updated significantly for 2006 and 2007. THANKS AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
I learned to drive in one of these! I look on craigslist every now and then and see If I can get one for cheap.
This car is almost not known in Europe countries, only a few people can recognize it thanks to Need For Speed Most Wanted (2005). I wish one day I will have possibility to sit in this underrated, beautiful car
You are not right in EU we got Cobalts (moslty not SS one). In yours country not-SS is over 20. SS supercharged 3 or more but totaled. SS TC you got at least two. One in north one in south. Propably you can got option to see one of them in Cracow. AMCar spot in saturday.
Wow, actual good facts instead of just tinkering with mirrors and pointing out obvious things like manual seats. Very nice! 👌
Kyle You are frickin amazing. I discovered you like only 2 months ago and already have watched all your videos! Anyway pleeeeeease do a review on the 2015 Challenger/Charger Hellcat!
NICE
2010 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Turbocharged Coupe Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Review
NFS MW
Woo-hoo it is monster if road
What a great car!!!
I heard that Chevy also offered a Stage 1 performance upgrade for this car that purported bumped up HP to 290 or something like that! Is that true? what did the package come with?
Added 3 bar Map sensors to handle a few pounds of added boost. There is a factory tune upgrade. Still not as robust as ZZP engine 3rd generation, it cools more efficiently, adds a larger choice of ZFR Turbos, that result in 400 Hp at the wheels-detuned to that level unless you change internal hardware.
Wow. That's pretty cool. Thanks for the reply.
I would love to find one of these in as good condition in my area. I would tune the hell out of it!
Finally I really want one of these!
Good review! Ole Cosmos motors has some nice cars in that lineup!
I’m buying one today😎
UPDATE: I ended up buying the turbocharged Cobalt SS.
I love your reviews kyle keep up the good work. I particularly don't like American before 2010. Where built quality left much to be desired. Regardless I really enjoyed your review thanks.
those m5 in the background
You should review a 2005 Ford Focus st or a 1960s vw bus. Love your videos by the way I live in North Carolina too.
Love the vid Kyle, can you review an in depth review of a VW Corrado if you get a chance? Thanks in advance if you can
Nice vid as always Kyle 😃 you should really do a vid on that nice yellow nsx
The turbo charged economy car 👌🏼
Less than 3000 built in 2009. Mine has the original turbo, but with metal intercooler pipes and Ram Intake she was tuned up to 320 horses at the wheels. It will not use the add on parts unless you discard the original tune, something known as read down in the onboard computer. Of course the Hahn high flow intercooler and exhaust mods helped. Still able to get 30 mpg if you travel at hwy. speeds. ;0)
عجبتنى الكوبالت وال ٢٠٠٦ امبالا و ٢٠٠٨ ماليبو و الكورفيت ال٧لتر .خلتنى احب الشيفروليه واعتبرها افضل سيارة امريكى
I can't stop looking at that Audi TT.
GrandpaChink It is a pretty cool looking one
I was so poor back in 2010 I couldn't afford a car like this. Now that I can buy one, not even used can be found where I live...but I got myself a new turbocharged car back in 2019 so at least I got that.
It's like what Mr.Regular said about the SRT-4. It's too American to hang out with the imports but not V-eight-y enough to hang around with the muscle cars.
I really think they should have made it a hatchback.
Love that k3 e46 background, film it Kyle?))
you went all out on t his review!!
I own a 08 Sport Coupe with a 2.4 auto trans . This car is not a Turbo, but is very fun to drive & no leather trim on the seats but has everything else & was $4,000 less than a turbo , same suspension & exhaust . Bought it new in 08 & I have regrets.

Kyle,when are you going to review some of the newer Lincolns? You havent reviewed a lincoln since 2011...
You should come to Australia and do a review of the Australian Ford Falcon (preferably the G6E Turbo or FPV F6 - but 08 or newer)
GM used to build some highly underrated sleeper cars and the Cobalt SS was one
Saabkyle if you get the chance, I'd love to see the new 2015 colorado or canyon 3.6L reviewed by you
i wish you showed more of that display thingy on the left
my favorite car to Need For Speed xD
im sure with a few bolt ons and a decent tune, this could break 300 easy
With a GM Stage 1 it was 290hp. I was a dealership option that was around when it was new.
Bolt ons and e47 tune can make 350whp and 400wtq
The American Ricer. Sounds like a lawn mower. But its probably faster than anything I'll ever own... Maybe.
nah not a ricer
The old supercharged model sure had a racey look to them lol I owned one but it looks nice. However the new turbo models seem more toned to my eye. Very sleepish
This sounds(kinda mines got a short ram AEM filter and 3" cat back exhaust when I bought it) and looks just like the one I bought a few years ago in Portland.
As new cars become less fun and more complicated, pre-owned cars become more appealing. It's like Reaganomics for cars.
This is actually going to be my first car dude my dad knows is selling one for only 1500
If I'm not mistaken this is the same engine in my 11 Regal T w/ the addition of FlexFuel but less hp.
i really wish that there was more cars like this 4 seat 2 door coupe with beafy engine. bmw m3 e46 is brobably my favorite as it gives alot what you need aout of car without sacrifysing functionality
Can you please make a video about ab4.3 chevy s10 zr2 and test drive it please :)
Awesome. You're the best. You should try dong an Integra or another rsx
It was my second car in NFS ProStreet
Hey Saabkyle, can you try to a 2005 Chevrolet Impala SS or a 2006 Chevrolet Impala SS? Dont know which one to buy... Also excellent video! Always liked the Cobalt SS..
