The Quaife ATB differential in the Cobalt SS/TC is a $495 MSRP factory option, about $435.60 employee price.

The rear view is dismal with the Cobalt, but not because of the spoiler. It's because the package tray is sloped way up like most of the other cars on the market today. I have the factory optioned big wing (D81 Aero-wing) and the drawback is that it blocks a certain part of the rear (you can't...

The Cavalier was built on the J-body. The Cobalt/HHR is built on Delta I, the same platform as the Opel/Vauxhall Astra, and Zafira. The Cobalt bashers incorrectly refer to it as a Cavalier. I'm not a MS3 basher. The MS3 was HIGH on my list of cars to buy due to the HID headlights, LED tail...

They told me they'd arrive in June-August but the order cut off for their allocation was 3/3. It seems like Mazda doesn't want the public to know anything about the car until after the reveal at which point no orders could be placed.

2010 MS3 ordering/availability My local dealer said the ordering cut-off for 2010 MS3's is March 3 and that the first cars will be delivered this summer. Has anyone received pricing or ordering info? The official reveal was scheduled for March 3 at Geneva, it makes no sense to have the cut-off...

The current Focus is uninspired. It's based on the same C170 chassis that was introduced in 1998. The Mazda3/Mazdaspeed3 is based on the C1 chassis that debuted in 2004, which is what underpins the 2004-up Focus all around the world except in Canada and the US.

What other tire sizes can I fit onto the 18" wheels? I'd rather not switch wheels because I'll have to deal with selling off my 18" wheels and tires. Will 16" or 17" wheels fit over the MS3 brakes? I know the Cobalt owners have a lot of trouble fitting proper offset wheels to clear the monster...

Just a little background on myself: I grew up with RWD/V8 cars, still love them, but need something that can also be used in the winter w/o dedicated snow tires. I've been using my 2000 crown vic as a winter car with the Goodyear Assurance TripleTreds - works great! The seats are horrible and I...

Thanks! There are quite a few MS3's at work and they are nice cars for sure. What are the safe-to-use tire sizes for the MS3's stock 18x7 wheels? I have Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S on my 2007 Mustang GT and they're great, except everyone that has these tires w/ the S197 GT have reported mediocre...

It looks like Goodyear makes the TripleTred in 225/50R18. The specs indicate that it would fit a 7" wide wheel and has comparable load specs to the stock Bridgestones. What do you think of this size for the MS3?

I am ready to make a decision between the 09 Cobalt SS and 09 Mazdaspeed3 but the only thing making me lean towards the Cobalt SS is better all-season tire choices. The 215/45R18 tires on the MS3 are limited to sh*t, summer tires, and squirmy dedicated snow tires. Although I plan to drive my...
