My Cobolt is a Canarie yellow 2008 sport with 162.000 miles on it and in mint condition..Stickers from the factory are still on car frame..It is a five speed standard..My entire life I have owned muscle cars but I will tell you that this car will do what u want it to without any complaints..Regular maintenance is the key ..All I have had to replace are brake pads and 1 clutch..Yeah in some models there have been some upsets but if you can grab a 2008 sport 5 speed..Take it

I can without a doubt say this is the worst car I've ever owned. I'm trading it in after a year of having it and couldn't be happier. It has been on a hoist more times than I can count. My boyfriend is a mechanic and is just disgusted working on it once a month. Before I met him I spent $1000+ just in 2 months of having it. The quality is so bad and the car shifts rough. Endless transmission problems that chevy won't fix. Front suspension falling apart at 60,000 miles, bad multi function switch, steering column issues, engine randomly revs in cruise control, and too many more to list. I got stuck trading a grand prix in for this HUGE mistake. Stay away from these "throw away" cars.
One mean little car

Bought used in early 2009. Handles well, corners great, and has some serious cumption. Has heated leather seats in the front which are a nice addition in the winter. The short range fuel use leaves a bit to be desired (22mpg), The long distance fuel use is great (41mpg at highest avg. was 38mpg over 1500 miles). The Interior is Black with silver high lights. Leather heated front seats with plenty of leg room (unless your really tall). My car being a sport has as lower profile that can cause issues, namely the lower grill can pop out. But other then that It's rather sleek. Over all the car feels like it was put together rather well, Handles like a dream and looks good too boot.
2.4 sport ....Loved mine !

Had a 2008 cobalt sport 2.4l for 12 years drove on and off as I traveled for work. Very reliable car for every year of it and drove it har,like hard hard lol as It was my first new car or new to me and I was young. Only thing I needed during those 12 years was usual breaks and in 2021 at 200 000 klms had a balencer chain go and was heading up. Ran it 60 more klm over 130 degrees no damage. Cheep easy fix and runs great again sadly as I'm in canada the salt from the roads got the side skirts rusted put. No wheel well rust surprisingly and never under coated so figure. But all in all very great car. Rialiable, cheep to fix and was fully loaded for its time. Love the stereo Panasonic with built in 10 in sub. Great car no mater what anybody says !

I bought my 2008 Cobalt Sport in December 2015 with 64000 miles on it. It is now December 2019, and I have thrown on an extra 100000 miles. This car has driven me to work and back everyday since I bought it. It has given me very few issues, beside the obvious maintenance work(brakes, bearings,oil changes, etc.). If you just show your car some love it's going to do what it was built for. I finally both my wife a car for her, so now it's time I personalize my Cobalt. With an upgraded intake, exhaust, coilovers, wheels and tires it's going to look like a completely different beast.
