Review

Well first things first, I love my Cobalt SS. The power is there when you need it, design and interior layout fit the car nicely. Only downfall I dislike about this car is the spoiler, which is going to be removed when I have some extra cash. Also I had a porous head which had to be replaced by the dealership, but other than that the car runs and performs great. Good buy in my opinion and not too bad for gas mileage, currently getting 29.4 mpg when I don't get on the gas.

Favorite Features

Love the sound of the supercharger, good interior speaker system for being stock.

Suggested Improvements

Rear wheel drive would've been great. More performance parts stock i.e. evo's break system. and yes stock stage 2

07 Cobalt LS

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt LS 4dr Sedan (2.2L 4cyl 5M)

Review

Cobalt LS 4dr with no options. With almost 4 months and 5000 miles, I think this is going to be great commuter car. 31-34 mpg mostly highway commute to work. Great AC and adequate radio/CD/mp3. Comfortable front seats and adequate rear seat room. Big trunk. Added aftermarket cruise (really just expensive switch), factory servo controls are already there. Plastic wheel covers and small tires will be replaced with alloy wheels and bigger tires when appropriate.

Favorite Features

Price, space, gas mileage.

Suggested Improvements

Better interior knobs. The window crank knob actually had molding sprues that hurt fingers. The shifter could be little smoother. Rear disk brakes and alloy wheels on base model would be great.

Review

I bought this car in January of 07' so far no complaints at all besides I can't seem to stay out of it. Chevy offers the stage kits that really make the car come alive. Styling is sharp, an altogether great sport compact for anyone in the market.

Favorite Features

Supercharger scream with a cold air intake.

Suggested Improvements

Stage two standard def.

Review

The Cobalt is more capable and fun to drive than any of its competitors.

Favorite Features

The car has an ample amount of power, and once you get used to its handling it is a lot of fun to drive.

Suggested Improvements

Interior trim is the only problem that I see with this car.

Review

My last small car was a Toyota Tercel, after which I drove trucks for 14 years. I test-drove and looked at every other small car I could find before buying this. I am currently driving it locally around town (computer says average speed 21 mph), and like the 29 MPG I'm getting after putting a whole paycheck into my truck every month. It's nimble, turns very tight, and has decent acceleration. Since I don't drive very fast at all, I love it. The drivers seat took some fooling around to get comfortable, but my long legs are happy. This has the same engine as our '05 Malibu, which has run perfect for 2 1/2 years now. We did buy the center armrest for our LS, I recommend it.

Favorite Features

Everything where I can see and reach it well. Mine might have originally been a special order, since I have air, auto, and the .mp3 cd-player. Easy to manuever around crowded parking. Doesn't look like it, but the trunk holds a lot.

Suggested Improvements

Why do the headrests lean forward so much? You have to drop the seat back to get your head to be straight against the headrest. Like others said, add a telescoping steering wheel to help long-legged people. We have to compromise between leg and arm comfort. Small back room? Don't care.

07 Cobalt SS

Written by: 04.08.07 on 08/23/2007

Vehicle

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt SS 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl S/C 5M)

Review

This is my first econo car since I bought a Pinto in 1978. I'm not crazy about FWD but it has real grunt and I've found it easy to hot rod. I also feel good about saving a couple Americans their jobs and while the quality isn't what I'm used to, neither is a 22k sticker. All in all I'd consider another Cobalt but I would prefer RWD.

Favorite Features

The brakes on my car are outstanding! The seats are great as well.

Suggested Improvements

6-Speed, RWD, more instrumentation, interior upgrade option.

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt LT 4dr Sedan (2.2L 4cyl 5M)

Review

I have owned a Chevy Cobalt for 4 months now. I have 2500 miles on it. I really enjoy driving this car. It handles well. It has good pick-up and is easy to drive. My daughter also likes to drive my new Cobalt. Everyone whos sees it likes the way it looks. It ia laser blue metalic. It is comfortable in the front and back. The features are great. You can program up to 36 staions on the radio. The driver information center is cool. Lots of good info available on it, miles per gal, oil life percentage, 2 trip odomoters, fuel range, outside temp and a couple of other things too. Highway driving I get 32-34 MPG. The rear seats fold down so you can get larger things in the trunk.

Favorite Features

My favoriteeature is the keyless entry. I also like the way the car handles ande way it looks.

Suggested Improvements

I think the speedometer is hard to read when I am wearing sunglasses. Also the trunk opening could be larger. The back of the car is high, hard to see things behind you.

Review

Bought an 07 LS coupe in May, this is my first new car and also my first GM car. Have to say I'm very pleased so far. Love the exterior looks, love the dash and interior layout, plenty of space for me and comfortable seats, excellent gas mileage (currently getting about 29.7 city), fun to drive, smooth ride, great features (automatic headlights, auxiliary audio jack, MP3 player), affordable, all in all a great car to own and drive.

Favorite Features

Excellent gas mileage, automatic headlights, MP3 player, aux audio jack, comforable seats and well-positioned headrests.

Suggested Improvements

Maybe slightly less cheap interior door handles and glove box, larger trunk entry would be nice, really that's about it.

Review

I was looking into something sporty and reliable. The black Chevy Cobalt Coupe (not the sedan - wasn't fond of the four door) definitely had both! Can't beat the price: under $13k - brand new! Especially for what it has to offer. I've had my car for about half a year and it still responds as it did the when I put in it's first miles. It's not the SS of course, but you gotta love the pick up and handling. The gas mileage is average - I guess I was expecting a bit more (but not bad to be honest). This car is great for 2 people and if you want to put some people in the back, front seat gotta scoot up (depending on people's size). Love the overall design, but mostly impressed with it's price.

Favorite Features

Digital displays buttons on steering wheel. Dark - almost black - carpet. Great room in the front. Good stock stereo. Big trunk. Love the overall structure on the exterior. Great on tight turns. I tinted the windows and back lights and the car totally looks slick. Would look clean just a bit dropped!

Suggested Improvements

No power locks/windows on an 07? Come on. (had to install the power locks myself). Doors have 45 & 90 degree open, so sometimes it can swing open too far - careful! Trunk is big, but opening is small? Would totally love arm rests! Backing out can be hard - blind spots. Test it first to be comfortable!

GM built this?

Review

I reluctantly rented this car for a 1500 mile road trip through 4 mountainous states, becuase it was the only car left with GPS navigation. I was not expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. The car is cheap and in many ways cheaply built, however GM put the quality into this car where it counts. The seats are comfortable but lacking in adjustments. This is one of the first automatic transmissions that I don't have to out-think to get the car to do what I want it to do. After driving 1500 miles to several national parks I can say that this was one of the most comfortable road trip cars I have ever driven.

Favorite Features

Gas mileage! The handling is much better than I expected. The automatic transmission shifts perfecly, the shift points vary dramatically based on the aggressiveness of the driving. The seats are very supportive for long distance driving. Ipod input and audio controls on the wheel.

Suggested Improvements

Bigger buttons on the steering wheel. The parking brake handle is too close to the console. More seat adjustments would be nice.
