I'm 18 years old and needed a reliable car to go back and forth to college. I looked at the usual, the civic, corolla, or the focus. I liked the Cobalt better then all of them and the build quality on my 2010 is just as nice as the foreign cars. I would recommend this car to anyone.
Absolute trash, built to be a beater!

The good: Steering feels stiff, handles well and... thats about it. The bad: The timing chains are notorious for failing, mine blew, theres a common problem with faulty wiring and a transmission surge. The AC system is full of faults, to replace the blower motor you literally have to cut it out and the resistors blow every 1000km for some reason. They are extremely underpowered and the paint didn't last at all started peeling a couple months after i bought it. It made it to 170,000km (100,000miles) and now its in the scapyard. The speakers blew too and needed a radiator replacement at some point as well. I got about 20,000km out of this car when i bought it and it all just went downhill hard from there. If you can pick one up cheap its worth it but i would never pay more than $1000 on one ever again. Stay far away from this and just shell out the extra money for a toyota. Oh and all the stock suspension parts were bad too, ended up replacing both struts, rear coils and the stabilizer links (twice)

Lease was up on my '06 4 dr Mazda 3 (loaded) - Had to get my payments down. Saving $50 a month by purchasing the Cobalt. Went with the 2010 2 dr Cobalt LT, black, Olympic Team option, chrome accents, Loaded.My driving habits are mostly city driving.Used to having a 4 dr so 2 dr is going to take a little getting used to. The only option the Cobalt is missing that the Mazda had is auto wipers-Chev sales person said auto wipers only come in Cadillacs. 2010 is going to be the last year GM is making the Cobalt. So if you are ok driving around a car which is going to be outdated right away, even though there are a lot of them on the road, that is why there are such good deals to be found.
Went for seconds!

I owned a 2006 LT and it was a very safe and fun car to drive. I loved it so much I had to drive to Newnan Ga, from South Florida to purchase my 2010 as dealers here didn't want to deal. This one is essentially the SS..heated leather seats and all the bells and whistles but with an automatic tranny. I have noticed it seems the turning ratio is not as tight as the 2006, but getting used to it. Best car around for the buck.
Six years and counting...

I bought my 2010 Cobalt coupe in 2013. At the time it had 20,000 miles on it. I've put an additional 82,000 miles on it in the last six years and have not had an issue. I did a proactive transmission flush a couple years ago, and I just replaced parts of the cam shaft mechanism plus spark plugs and it runs smoothly. This car surprised me with it's longevity without any sudden issues; if something was wearing out the car gave me a sign, and I've only done those two services. Good commuter, especially since my daily commute is 100 miles round trip!
