2007 Chevrolet Cobalt - The Baby Car
I bought my 2007 Chevy Cobalt in 2010. The vehicle had about 43,000 miles on it at the time and I'm now up to 70 some thousand miles. This car is itty bitty (I have the coupe version). If you are tall, I would not recommend you drive this car. I've had no problems with my engine or other necessary parts to operate the vehicle. However, my accessories have proven otherwise. It seems that the secondary parts to this vehicle were made cheaply. Like most cars nowadays, the interior is primarily plastic. Many of the buttons in my vehicle that control the door locks and music features no longer work. The digital screen that shows me the time and music that I'm playing only works sometimes. My blinkers broke entirely, I have to manually set and reset them and they do not make sound. The speak... (more)

My blinkers broke entirely, I have to manually set and reset them and they do not make sound. The speakers that come with this vehicle are terrible and do not work correctly. Only one speaker plays at all times, sometimes another will kick in randomly which scares me as I'm driving. This car is a 4 cylinder and speeds up fairly quick. The gas mileage on this car isn't too bad, I don't often need to fill up on gas. The Chevy Cobalt is reliable but not superior to other vehicles. I would never drive my Cobalt through large amounts of snow or rain. Since this is a small vehicle, it is only equipped with two-wheel drive and will slide in bad weather. I love the vibrant red color of this car and the paint has lasted well with no signs of rusting away. Overall, this vehicle has gotten me where I've needed to go over the past six years, but has gotten on my nerves on several occasions. There is no wow factor about this vehicle, it's very average and they no longer make this type of vehicle.
I've driven this vehicle on many beautiful adventures through the state parks and to the beach with my friends and family. I also used this car to move a lot of personal items when moving houses last year.

Great engine build, vibrant exterior color, aesthetically pleasing to the eye, cruise control, option for auxiliary plug, great working a/c and heat, good sized trunk space.

2006 Chevrolet Cobalt - Great Vehicle
It is a nice small car. It has been reliable over the couple of years that I have owned it. It is still running quite nicely. The only things that I have disliked about the car is that the doors are huge, but that is normal for a coupe style car, that is just personal preference. Other than that it is a nice reliable car that I would recommend to anyone. I got the car when I was 16 so it is a nice economically beneficial car for your teenagers.

I had just gotten my car and I had not gotten a license plate yet. The car came with blacked out rims and I was driving it around town. Then I get a text from my friend a little while later once I returned home and he said, "I just saw you in your car." And I responded, "How did you know it was me? I didn't see you at all." He then said, "No license plate, blacked out rims. It was definitely you."

The best things about this vehicle are that it is small and not too big, nothing major has happened with the car in terms of performance or maintenance, and that it has pretty good gas mileage. It also runs very well on the highway. I also really enjoy the trunk, it has a lot more space than it looks like on the outside. Plus it holds 12 gallons of gas, which I think it a good amount considering the amount of time I travel.

There is no auxiliary jack, just a CD player and a radio. I would not suggest driving it off the road. Another thing about the car is that it has a wide turn range. The back seat is also quite small, I would suggest only taking four people at a time in the car or else the back seat gets cramped and hot.

2010 Chevrolet Cobalt - Solid, reliable car
The car itself exceeded my expectations. As my family had never owned an American car before, I didn't really know what to expect when buying one, given the reputation of American cars. Since I bought it, it has run very smoothly, and hasn't needed any additional work since I purchased the car 4 years ago. I was surprised by this considering I have driven across the country twice in it, and apart from having two flat tires, the car has ran very smoothly. Unfortunately the car is a bit light, meaning that at high speeds or in high winds, it sort of gets knocked around a bit, and is a bit difficult to drive. Also despite the fact that it is a relatively new car, it does not have cruise control, which is a luxury that I would really like to have. One thing I was very surprised about the c... (more)

Also despite the fact that it is a relatively new car, it does not have cruise control, which is a luxury that I would really like to have. One thing I was very surprised about the car was the fact that despite it being a front wheel drive car, it performs very well in the rain and snow, and I have not had any problems in minor inclement weather, which is certainly a plus given the fact that I live in the Midwest.
One of my fondest memories I have had in my car was when I first purchased in drove around our downtown area. It was nice to have a new sense of freedom and wonder that came with that. Being able to cruise around town with my friends for the first time in my car was a great feeling.

It was a very affordable car, and was very good value when I bought it. Very few times can you buy a two year old car with only 31,000 miles for $10,000. Also it has tremendous fuel efficiency, which is certainly a plus for a college student who is living on a budget. Another huge plus about the vehicle is the fact that it is a low maintenance car, which other than a routine service and oil change fees has ran tremendously considering I have put 40,000 miles on it since I purchased the car in 2012.

A great feature included in the vehicle is the OnStar capabilities, and while I have not renewed it since I purchased the car, it is nice knowing that I have the flexibility to purchase it if I choose. The same goes for the satellite radio that is included. That is something that I have renewed and enjoyed for long distance travel. Also its surprisingly good performance in bad weather has been a major plus since purchasing the car. It was something that I wasn't expecting and has paid off tremendously when I have been caught in unexpected bad weather.
One of my biggest complaints about the vehicle is its lightness. It does not weigh very much which means at high speeds/high winds it gets knocked around quite a lot which makes it very difficult to drive. One time in particular I can recall driving in high winds and it feeling as if I was driving on ice. I know that its low weight allows it to be more fuel efficient, but at the same time, it can pose a potential threat to driver safety if caught in high winds. Another con about the vehicle is its lack of cruise control. Having driven long distances in my car, not having cruise control is ... (more)

Another con about the vehicle is its lack of cruise control. Having driven long distances in my car, not having cruise control is a burden at times, leading to major cramping in my legs which if not monitored can be potentially dangerous. My final complaint about the car is that for some reason, there is a rattling inside one of the fans of the car. Every time I put on the air conditioning, it rattles back and forth, which is a very annoying inconvenience that I've had to deal with since purchasing the car. While not really having an impact on the car per se, it is still quite annoying.
