I am looking for my first car and which one has a better sound? I know the Manual will have a nicer sound when shifting, etc. But which one sounds good? Does the Automatic sound a turd just cruising down the road with an exhaust?

Which would be a good exhaust too? I want one that sounds loud and powerful.

If you want something loud and powerful well you might just wanna buy a V8 cause your not gonna get a "loud" or "powerful" sound from a four cylinder just wont happen

I am actually 16 and just made an account yesterday and wasn't sure if you had to be a certain age to do things like you do on some sites so i made my age over 18 and just picked it randomly. But yes it is my first car....

the only cobalts that sound nice from the factory are the SS/SC or the SS/TC. they're both manual only and cost a lot more than a base model unless you find the right buyer

I hate the sound of an automatic 4cyl with an exhaust. the base models will all sound the same. supercharged or turboed balts sound best and are all manuals unless its a custom build of a base model.
