- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt SS is a modern collectible. In this TFLcar Feature we review and evaluate recent cars that we think one day will be collectible classics. In this first episode we check out the 2009 Chevy Cobalt SS with the 260 HP Turbo-Charged engine. What makes this car unique and why will do we think it will eventually go up in value with classic cars collectors? And how long will it take before the car becomes collectible? And of course how fast is it from 0-60 MPH? Those are questions that we answer in this new feature and modern collectible drive and review.

Pre-owned cars in some ways better than brand new cars. Thank God for pre-owned cars!
It’s amazing how much better Andres English has gotten from then to now
Just said that in comment .👍
Where is he from?
I've always liked the Cobalt SS, very underrated car with a wonderful chasis.
ss economy class...proved that chevy was king..from the corvette down to their economy they made speed...kudos to the performance guys...just goes to show you you can still turn sedate rides into performance machines just like muscle car days of old turning family sedans into monsters...tradition of performance rages on:)
Even tho Ford and dodge did the exact same thing lol
coyote _302 Ford didn’t have an Impala SS that could pass you doing 100 in second gear. The Focus was great though.
I actual love seeing older cars reviewed too! Great that your starting this series! Keep up the great work
Flash back to 10 years ago. I'm buying one of these today. Roman, you should re-visit this series.
I love this series I always wanted you guys to do older cars. Thanks!!
Yes it does. It's usually referred to as the G85 code as pulling the trunk carpet up, on the left side of the trunk floor is a sticker denoting G85 as the build code indicating the car has the LSD option.
I wouldn't expect the Cobalt to be a collectible, but I would definitely cast my vote for the Saturn Sky / Pontiac Solstice.
The 2003-2004 SVT Cobra Mustang would make a great video for this series. The SVT cars are collectible by themselves, but these cars were extremely unique in fords line. It was pretty much the only mustang that came from the factory with a rear independent suspension plus it had 390+ hp stock.
Just the sort of content I was hoping you guys would get in to. Great video!
Great choice! As the proud owner of a 2009 Cobalt SS turbo, I understand better than most that this car is extremely fun. One of the most underrated aspects is the fact that, unlike many muscle cars, this sport compact provides a great view of the road, not a huge, view-blocking hood that you must peer over. I just had mine tuned to produce over 300hp and 340ft/lbs. of torque at the wheel. Can't wait to smoke some unsuspecting V8 cars...and I'll still get 35 mpg cruising to find my victim!
Since these cars are turbo charged they can beat many cars on the street, just raise the boost to 16PSI and you got a Pocket Rocket lol. They are extremely fast once Tuned to about 350Wheel Horsepower.
Whats with the big radio antenna out back?
Not to mention the gmpp stage 1 turbo upgrade that bumps it to 280hp 320ft/lbs and maintains factory warranty. I have yet to see a car at this price level that makes me want to get rid if my 09 SS. It was faster around VIR than the EVO, STI, and challenger srt8, plus I average 24 mpg not too bad for the $16k I bought it for used in 2010
+Adam Peters nice! What other mods were available from the factory?
I bought mine for 5k
Not faster then the neon SRT 4 tho lol
Just bought a silver 2010 cobalt ss turbo and love it it’s my dream car as a kid
I just got a yellow 07 cobalt coupe. Very happy with it. I’ve had mutiple cobalts in my life and they’re great cars!
Thanks for creating this awesome new series. I look forward to seeing the future videos.
A few modern collectibles that come to mind for me are the Mazdaspeed 6, Mazdaspeed Miata and Pontiac Solstice Coupe due to their very limited runs.
Awesome channel, great reviews. Im subscribing
Back when andre actually sounded like a Russian
Sweet new series! Cant wait to see what else you're gonna feature!
turning left, that the nascar heritage
Andres english has gotten much better over the years , I didnt know it until I saw this video
Great new series hope you review older cars . Cars that people never seen
I need one of these ASAP
Just bought an 06 cobalt ss sc. It's so much fun!
Cobalt SS is definitely faster than the Neon. It has more horsepower, more torque, limited slip differential and they weigh nearly the same.
Plus the Cobalt comes with standard launch control, steering wheel activated bluetooth and air bags in every direction in case the Neon you're pulling away from decides to side swipe you out of jealousy.
I remember wanting the Chevy Cobalt SS so badly when I was in 8th or 9th grade! IT WAS MY DREAM CAR! And my definition of a dream car was something attainable, affordable, fast, and BAD ASS!!! I was also lusting over the Chevy HHR SS and the Dodge Caliber SRT4! The good ol' days...
What are you using for acceleration instrumentation?
Awesome video, and a great idea.. keep them coming! :).. what about the Mazda RX-8?
Good idea for a series, I dig it!
I think I remember you mentioning at some point that your son has a Lincoln Continental Mark V, I'd really love to see a review of that!! :)
Should have used a 09 SS Sedan ;) only 474 of them made.
just snagged me one!
I just got one . I used to have a 10 lnf before but sedan is way better
@@coleessex5445 me too!
@@turbo_co27 So , you're telling me that 3 of you guys have 1 any there is only 471 left now?! I used to have a Cavalier Sport the year before GM transitioned to the Cobalt though and loved the look but how reliable is the Cobalt?
KreativeCuts well, also excluding all the other people that have them, the wrecked ones, and the ones boomers turned into DF Goblins. SS’s are vastly different reliability wise than the base models, and the turbo is great. Replace the timing chain and head gasket once at like 150k, use 91, and you’re golden. SC’s are a tad different, but they’re also pretty good.
Running 06 LT manual with 150K miles. Haven't had anything major wrong with it and replacing some stock suspension parts that have worn out. Fun little car.
Cool new feature. Would love to see you review a Chevy SSR. Also it looks like you switched to using a GoPro for your stuck-on-the-bodywork shots. How is that working out for you?
I still have mine and running good. Brakes have been a issue I still don't use my e brake and tried it all to fix it. Random interior noises and suspension noise like clunking but other than that all good.
My SS is almost at 100k, still running strong. Very reliable car if you properly maintain it
100k and still strong. Only maintenance coming ups is my clutch.
archangel76106 good luck with that 😂
Can you make a review on a 2003 Pontiac Sunfire. There were really little of them made and I think it's a cool looking car. It's really rare to see on the streets. Now that Pontiac are gone they are all rare
does anyone know how much boost these things put out stock?
Bravo! Nice video, for sure
I have 1 of 479 sedans built ( 1 of 67 in sport red tint coat). This is a helluva fun car and tears ass around the track. Given how rare and hard it is to find a Sedan only a few years after production ended, I'm sure these will be collectables down the road. It will be hard to find one that wasn't modified though.
can i buy this car?
Til this day I still want one!
I test drove a 2007 a few years ago, and it just freaked me out. I couldn't take off in first gear without getting a little burn out. I took it back to the dealership and test drove an Impala SS with the 5.3. I was sold. Worse fuel economy by far, but MUCH better manners. They had 1 other car on the lot that I wanted to drive. The wife of the dealership's owner's 2007 Caddy CTS-V, with a 6 speed. With 82K miles, impeccably maintained, and for only $22K. Which one do you think I bought ?
good video, it will be great to see more like it
great job guys. you should look into doing the Chrysler Crossfire SRT-6. like the 09' SS here they had a couple years of low number production, and they're fasssstttt.
Got an 09 XFE 5 speed demo in 10' with 60 miles on it...at 51,000 today n still get over 30 mpg in Pittsburgh with traffic. Not a bad car when on a budget
Please do more of this series.
Hey roman! What is best collectible in 10 years or 40 years on the collectible scale?! Thanks nice job as usual!
Watching in 2019 and love it. He didn’t mentioned the flat foot shifting though
Modern collectibles.. I like the segment!
How bout a review on a Dodge Intrepid 1996 V6 3.4!
It was aggressive, fast, tourqe-e and a spacious family saloon! It was the first car I drove but damn, I was hooked from the first drive!
Cobalt Nation Haha reliable vehicle! I never had an SS turbo but have wanted one because a 2009 cobalt was my first and current car. Goes to show why some would want these in the future.
he said 3000 produced in 09 can some one tell me how many had the large spoiler and how many were sport red tricoat in the coupe model
I want the cobalt 60 special with the nuclear energy symbol on the hatch lid front fenders and center hub of the steering wheel And Enrico Fermi signature on passenger side instrument panel
what about a saturn ion redline.. Is that going to be a collectable car. the only made 5000 redlines from 2003-2007.
U guys should do a 190e 2.3-16 ...I have the regular 190e 2.3 with a stick but that car is a hoot and I think would definitely be a future collectable
Just realized I was watching a video that's 10 years old... no wonder it had that old ah music 😂
You guys need to do the Neon SRT4... Now thats Collectible!
You forgot to mention that at one point in time it was the fastest fwd car around the nurburgring and the no lift shift feature for quick shifts on manual trans..
I just got my 09 SS Coupe I love it. Lsd, Rpd, ftw
G8 is one the most underrated cars out there. Perfect choice for next modern collectible
Keep this up! what about solstice gxp?
what about the 2009 cobalt ss/tc sedan they only maid 474 and for 1 production year 16 yellow, 40 imperial blue metallic and cant remember the rest of the numbers for the colors.
i own a 09 ss sedan ibm :)
I have an 09 with RPD and highrise spoiler. Wonder how many of those were made...
Roman do you guys think you can do a modern collectible review on a 2005 dodge neon SRT4?
stock exhaust?
He did not use the factory no lift shift
Bobby Lutz! Too bad not 6 Speed but Quaife LTD made a conversions kit to add another gear and there is a Quaife ATB available. Roman, you should have another conversion video installing a Quaife ATB to show the difference in driving.
Only 4 speed fan control?
A friend had a GLH, basically a K car with a turbo and big wheels, etc. His was that blue and silver
Aussie Pontiacs! 04-06 GTO and 08-09 G8
Does anyone know how reliable these cars are? Actually cobalts in general. I'm in the market of buying one.
I use to have one of those except it was black and had the Rpd not the mechanical boost gauge shame you couldn't get your hands on one of those. Oh and I bet Andre would have gone faster to 60 if he did the No lift shift this car has Makes for a nice Pop out of the exhaust and a puff of smoke its awesome!!.
Hey guy I'm a big fan of your channel. I want to ask some experts like you guys for an honest opinion. I'm looking into buying a new crossover. I'm considering the chevy equinox, the ford escape, and the toyota rav4. Which would be the best choice and why? Hope you guys can help. Thanks and keep up the great channel.
I liked the bigger rear wing better and the other rims. I still see a lot of Cobalt SS around. LOL I had a Cobalt SS in a NFS video game and it was the fastest car in the game!
05 &06 were supercharged and rated @ 205hp. The 09 &2010 were the turbocharged engines and rated @ 260.
Would you guys cover 90s classics even if there are not a whole lot of those like a 96 Impala SS or a Saleen Explorer
Nurburgring time of 8:22.85, 2.85 seconds slower than a 2010 Camaro SS, also faster than the Porsche Cayman S, Lotus Exige s, Nissan 350z, Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8, Mitsubishi Evo VI and VII...... its a really really fast car, and as far as I can tell still the fastest front wheel drive car that was ever sold in the U.S. Pretty impressive, good choice guys!
I have a 2020 Hyundai Elantra GT N Line on California ground I have done 0-60 in 6.3 seconds and 1/4 mile 14.4 and I have the 7 speed CVT. It chirps a lot in first gear if I had stickier tires I definitely would be 0-60 under 6 seconds and 1/4 mile in high 13’s. My cars only mod is axle back exhaust.
I own a 2008 Dodge caliber srt4 and I love it only 4k were made
I have an 09 LT XD And i love the heck outa that thing
What about a Saturn Ion Redline edition??? Only 5000 were made from 2003 to 2007, you dont see them much but its a nice car, the plastic body panels make it lighter that the cobalt too
Those are fun cars and being a Cobalt most people will dismiss it out of hand. That is what leads to future collectibles. GM actually did a pretty good job on that car and they are fun and fast. The GLH was a fun car too. Wouldn't mind running across one.
Should have showed one with the rpd. Amazing. I owned with loaded tuned and custom tail and headlights. Sad I sold it. Best performance buck can buy. I did 0-60 in low fives 3500 feet.
What about the Sport? Not many of those around either.
finally you guys are doing something i can afford
No matter what people say the cobalt SS is a cool car and with a little money you can make this a really fast car
Severely underrated car
You changed sunglasses again! Are those RB 3445?
I like the new segment. Most of the Cobalt SS sold likely were driven fast and hard. I wonder how many of the 90,000 made are still running?
It's so hard to find a good car similar to this that that's BOTH manual and Auto or at LEAST auto.
U guys are the best!
I have a 2008 SS/TC and you are wrong about brembos on all 4 wheels. It's only the front. No need for the rear brakes to be bremobs... Also forgot to mention no lift shit when in comp mode.
The Cobalt SS will NEVER have the cult following that the Neon SRT4 enjoys.
i had this car, it had SO MANY problems, but for 23.5k it was the best bang for your buck at the time. but like i said it stayed in the shop. after warranty expired i sold it and never looked back.
Whats so good about an 05?
Hey guys. Can you review the Honda CRZ?
Can you review a Ford SVT Contour or Focus?
I have one and I think I'll keep it most my life.. it's powerful but also useful. Not like shitty Mustangs (and some other muscle cars) which are not only cheaply made, but also pretty much useless (just for looks, poor gas mileage, weighted down, depreciates quickly, etc.) I've been all over the US in mine and have had no problems. Still getting an average of 24 mpg. Love it.
