Chevrolet Cobalt: Climate Control/AC

Re: 2007 Chevy Cobalt LS [tom71]

Good news - there's a button in the HVAC control area that selects "recirculate" as a counter to the default fresh air intake setting and it'll definitely frost yer caboose. (that button has a cabin icon with a horizontal "U" to engage the recirculation mode) I suspect you weren't aware, so the system happily brought in hot/humid outside air which compromised ...

2007 Chevy Cobalt LS

Written by: tom71 on Sep 03, 2006 00:57 PM

I'm considering buying a new 2007 Cobalt. I rented one recently and liked the car. One thing I noticed is the A/C is somewhat anemic, and the fan speed doesn't seem too powerfull even on high.

In the latest issue of Consumer Reports the Cobalt SS beat the Acura RSX and the Scion tC. I like that. ~~end quote~~ That is interesting. Was that the RSX Type-S they compared it to? You do know a 2007 RSX will be coming out next year. It may not be the best time to get an Acura with a model change coming out soon. That said the resale will likely still be much higher than ...

Only Two Small Cars Passed the IIHS.org side impact tests

Written by: micweb on Mar 09, 2005 01:50 PM

The Insurance Institute's test involves crashing a pickup truck or SUV height vehicle, with contoured front end, into the side of the tested vehicle at 31 mph. This is different from the NHTSA's side impact test, which uses a mid-size passenger car as the impacting vehicle. Since the point of contact with an SUV is higher than that of a car, and since they weigh ... Read More...
