2007 Chevrolet Cobalt LT 4dr Sedan (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
Review
In these trying times, our auto transmission LT sedan has shown outstanding gas mileage. Over 28 mpg around town all the time. It isn't suppose to be that good says the EPA, but we'll take it. It's a fun car, quieter than many other four cylinder cars in its class. We bought it used from a local Chevy dealer and after three months, no headaches.
Favorite Features
Radio is reasonable quality and fun. Seating position is above average. Quiet and inexpensive to run. Remote start is neat, but can't let too much gas be wasted in the driveway.
Suggested Improvements
Haven't found one so far!
Love it!

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt LS 2dr Coupe (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
Review
My first two cars were a Cavalier and Sunfire. The Cobalt by far is of much higher quality and is made far better. I originally was considering the Aveo when I went shopping for my 3rd car, but the quietness and smoothness of the ride got my hooked to the Cobalt. It's wonderful to drive in the snow. I feel very safe in it. After a 9 hour road trip it's still comfortable.
Favorite Features
Sporty looking interior, roomy, looks great on the road, MP3 plug-in
Suggested Improvements
No center arm rest, but I got used to it. A strut started leaking at 15 K and was told this was a common problem. Not having a light grey as an interior option/ or change the material- it gets dirty very easily.
Love 2007 base model Cobalt Coupe

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt LS 2dr Coupe (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
Review
This base model 07 Cobalt had me thinking twice about 4 cyl engines. As soon as I took off in this car, the performance was great. It handles really well on the curvy roads where I live in and the fuel economy is outstanding, 30 M+PG. I was also surprised by the amount of space that is present in the trunk, lots of it. Being that I'm 6 feet tall, I have enough room to sit behind the wheel. I was also surprised to see the battery in the trunk.
Favorite Features
The more constant your drive is, like highway driving, the higher your miles to gallon goes up. Oil filter is at top of engine. Love the engine cover.
Suggested Improvements
Oil life meter should not be measured by driving and acceleration, meter should measure oil viscosity. Bigger side windows for overlooking.

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt LS 2dr Coupe (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I've had my Cobalt for about 6 months now. I brought it brand new with 3 miles on it. As much as I drive I already have almost 11,000 miles on it and it still rides brand new with the brand new car smell. I road 6,000 miles over before I got my oil changed and the light still hasnt came on. I much money am I saving! The car is beautiful!
Favorite Features
The body style is nice.
Suggested Improvements
Dont make them 4 cylinders. Adding cruise control to the newer models. And adding an mp3 player, take off the cheap hubcaps.

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt LT 4dr Sedan (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
Review
We got this car out of pure necessity (our previous Neon was on it's last leg). The Chevy Cobalt seems to be a much more solid car than the Dodge Neon. The only thing we needed to go back to the dealer for was the window sealing/trim falling loose from the door seal. What a great way to get from point A to point B without breaking the bank!
Favorite Features
The information display is very useful, the stereo system (isn't aftermarket quality, but has the Radio Data System...a surprise there), the price.
Suggested Improvements
The heating-a/v system needs to be refined somehow. In the spring and fall, it hard to get a comfortable temperature inside (i.e. "cool" vent {no A/C on} is not cool but warm). Overall styling on the sedan is very bland. There are blind spots...especially with passengers and the spoiler!

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt LS 2dr Coupe (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I bought my LS on a whim. Just went to look at cars and test drive some and well, it just kinda happened. Within 2 weeks, I had to take the car to the dealer, there was some major squeaking going on. Found out it was just the hubcaps, apparently they're horrible. They lubed them, but nothing else can be done. I'm now at month 13 of ownership and sitting at home with no car. It has 12,000 miles on it. Went to start it and it just wouldn't do anything. Called GMAC Roadside assistance and they sent "Big Dawgs" towing. We almost needed a tow truck for the tow truck. The car has been at the dealer all day. No courtesy car like my selling dealership promised, No response yet.
Favorite Features
It is fun to drive. It has a sporty look I like.
Suggested Improvements
After 12,000 miles, it should still start. Better hubcaps(or standard alloy) Horrible lock placement, and if you do lock the doors, just pulling the handle will not unlock them, you have to reach behind you to unlock. Trunk opening doesn't allow you to make full use and truck lifts weirdly.

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt LT 2dr Coupe (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I got a great deal on this car and I love it! This car is great in the snow, if you know how to drive in the snow. It is also very fun to drive, not too sporty, not to grandma-esque. It is comfortable and reliable. I can fit my cross-country skis in the trunk if I fold down the back seat.
Favorite Features
Sporty design, interior fits my size well (5'5") Big trunk, good sound system, I have the basic and it is loud.
Suggested Improvements
Gas mileage could be better, only got 20 mpg until the engine was broken in, now about 27 commuter (street/highway mix). Factory seat covers, Chevy doesn't make any, can't find any that fit on the seat.
Regret buying

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt LTZ 4dr Sedan (2.2L 4cyl 4A)
Review
Car runs well, no problem under the hood but its built crappy. After a while car rattles on highway when pushing on brake. This car is not reliable. I bought this car Feb of 2008 and traded it in for a brand new Scion tc this month. Car is not worth it.
Favorite Features
Seat warmers. Smooth ride when first got it.
Suggested Improvements
Not using cheap materials.

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt SS 2dr Coupe (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I have had my Cobalt for just less than a year now and I have to say I am very pleased over all. First off I got a great deal. The car is definitely more than I had expected. I find it fun to drive and very comfortable even on long trips. The car is gorgeous from the outside and the interior is very nice for a car in this price range. It has just enough power to make me happy. If I wanted a race car I would not have bought this. The handling should be more that adequate for most drivers. The ride is much softer and more forgiving than most cars in it's class. Overall I think it is a vast improvement over the Cavalier it replaced and a great value for all that you get.
Favorite Features
I got the Pioneer sound system with XM which sounds amazing. The leather seats are a must. The on board computer tells you everything. Most of all I am amazed with the interior space for the front passengers. Finally the gas mileage. The Chevy ecotec engines are smooth, powerful and very efficient.
Suggested Improvements
The sheet metal is very thin in areas. 2 weeks after I took delivery I leaned against the the car lightly and the entire rear 1/4 panel caved in. Luckily it popped right out. Also the trunk opening is oddly shaped. There is tons of room but its hard to access. Head curtain airbags should be standard.

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt LT 2dr Coupe (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I love it. I looked at new cars for two years and I really enjoy this car. I purchased victory red, leather interior sunroof. I could not ask for anything more and the estimated mpg is better than the sticker. I am getting 28 city 37 highway and the warranty is wonderful. I suggest this car to anyone. Very sporty sexy. So far so good!
Favorite Features
Steering wheel, sunroof, alum. wheels, and the gauges with all that information. Large trunk.
Suggested Improvements
Head rest tilt too forward a little uncomfortable. Small trunk opening.
