2007 Chevrolet Cobalt SS 2dr Coupe (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
Review
Everything seems to be falling apart day by day. Brakes have been replaced 3 times in two years. Front stabilizer bar has been replaced twice and I live in a city. new rattles every day that are impossible to pinpoint as they come from everything from the back panels in the back seat to the suspension to sun visors! went over a bump and the housing for the sunroof button just fell out of the headliner. Thankfully everything has been replaced under warranty except for brakes which is a big concern because they are quite expensive to replace if you have to replace them twice a year! only good things is the stereo which always sounds awesome and can really pound and the engine its self
Favorite Features
engine is quite quiet and has good power. Stereo sounds amazing
Suggested Improvements
Build a good car then drop that good engine in it

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt LS 2dr Coupe (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I have had my Cobalt for 2 years now and I have yet to have a problem out of it. Ive put performance parts on it as well as a body kit and rims and I drive it like I stole it every time I drive. I have the 5-speed manual transmission and I change the oil every 2500 miles. The car is great I have never had any problems from anything to do with the engine or transmission. I had a problem with the radio but it was covered under warranty and fixed the next day. I would recommend the car to anyone. If your into performance and style its great there are tons of parts and they are easy to install. The 2.2L is a great engine and runs like a champ with plenty of power to go around.

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt LS 4dr Sedan (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
Review
So I bought my Cobalt BRAND NEW. There was literally 1 mile on my car when I got it. Well of course now my car is out of warranty and at 39,000 miles the power steering light comes on the dashboard. A really cool extra feature happens and the steering wheel completely locks up. I looked this problem up on the internet and apparently this happens pretty frequently. After much arguing, Chevy agreed to pay for the part. The motor for the electronic power steering is what went. This part has been an ongoing problem with the Cobalt but the part has not been recalled. Even the mechanics at the local Chevy dealership by my home were arguing with Chevy that this is not a part that should of broke.
Favorite Features
Nothing. The interior is horrendous. My mirror on my visor broke after opening it one time. I truly regret buying this vehicle.
Suggested Improvements
THE POWER STEERING! Next I will have to replace my whole steering column like other Cobalt owners!
Great fun car

Review
I hated the dealership I got this car from so for all my service I go to a different dealership, but outside of the dealership the car is great. I get 27mpg city driving, the get up and go is a little slow but its just a 4 cylinder so that's okay she handles turns great and handles the occasional long drive out of state. Great first car for me. Body lines are clean and the size and shape are ideal for Jersey driving and parking. Love it, and would recommend this car!
Favorite Features
No spoiler, great cd player, speakers are clear and the adjustable radio to automatically raise in volume as you go faster.
Suggested Improvements
Chevy could work out the usual wheel clicks but other than that I love my car, and better a/c system (the heat is perfect).
Buy only if your in it for the long haul

Review
This is a good little car but I wouldn't buy one unless your in it for the long haul. If you want something that's good on gas, fun to drive and cheap, the Cobalt is a good choice but I wouldn't buy a GM product unless I planned on keeping it for 10 years. It's poor resale value overwhelms the cost of paying it off. Overall it's a well built car but the plastic interior is a bit cheap. Also don't slam the glove box or it will crack at the opener like mine did.
Favorite Features
Comfortable, good performance and great on gas. MP3 player is great.
Suggested Improvements
Less cheap plastic interior pieces.

Review
Overall, I am pleased with the fuel efficiency, but little else. I started having trouble when the drivers side door broke off completely. I got online to do some research and have found that I am not the only one with this issue. I decided to repair the handle myself just to find out that it will take more than just removing the interior door panel. I switched from Ford to Chevy in hopes of easy repair work, but I miss my Ford already.

A better design on the cup holders. When I have a drink in there, I cannot adjust the AC/Heat!

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt LT 2dr Coupe (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
Review
This car is very fun to drive and has a cute body, but those are about the only good things I have to say about the car. In the very few months I have had the car I have had; the breaks replaced, had to buy a new battery and have had the whole gear shift unit replaced. It is not practical at all. There is no space what so ever in the back seat. The inside paint scratches way too easily and the stereo razzes very easily. Over all just not a practical car. Oh and if you get one with a fin on the back forget about rear visibility.
Favorite Features
I love the fun of driving a car so low to the ground. I can whip it around like it's nothing. The body style is cute. I have gotten a lot of "oh your car is sooo cute". The ultimate girly body style.
Suggested Improvements
Higher quality parts. Better stock stereo system.Better visibly all around.

Review
I've had my Cobalt for a little over a month. It's a wonderful first car. I read reviews here before buying this car. I read about someone hearing a cricket noise when the air conditioner was on, I hear this noise every time I have the AC on, it can get annoying after a while because I hear it over my music. I've put aver 1000 miles on it since I got it. Now it has about 42,000 miles on it. It gets around 26-28 mpg in town. It's a wonderful car :-) I love it!
Favorite Features
MP3 jack, the trunk space, design (interior & exterior), CD player, comfort

It'd be nice to get better gas mileage

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt SS 2dr Coupe (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I wanted a safe dependable car to send my daughter off to college. She liked the sporty look, and we shopped until we found one with the bells and whistles. The car has 37,000 miles on it, so the bumper to bumper has expired (barely-- 36,000). While she was driving from Nashville, the power steering just quit working. I'm glad she wasn't in a turn! Dealership and GM are not very sympathetic, but when I googled "Cobalt power steering," I found that this problem is widespread. I hope that anyone considering the Cobalt will use google and research this power steering failure.
Favorite Features
Sunroof, definitely.
Suggested Improvements
The electric power steering needs to be recalled and replaced.

Review
I love my Cobalt, but I am worried about it's reliability. My visor broke after I had the car about a year. I have not even had the car 2 years and the top part of my shifter knob just broke off along with the plugs for the chargers no longer working. Also, the emergency break went out. Great that it's still under warranty, but what am I going to do after that?
Favorite Features
leather seats, heated seats, cute car, great manual shifting
Suggested Improvements
bigger opening for trunk, stop being cheap on the little parts
