Looks great. Handles very well around corners. Good size engine, and a nice radio upgrade from the '06 to the '07 model. Only suggestion is to have better quality speakers. Other than that, a great car for a good price.
Fun little car, but...

I've greatly enjoyed my 2007 cobalt. The manual transmission is surprisingly good, with a linear clutch and a stick with tight, short throws. It isn't quick, but it's got enough power to have a little fun and feel confident overtaking. Very economical if you drive with a light foot. Huge trunk it's size. For the price, there isn't much out there that looks as good as the cobalt coupe. However, I still have some gripes with the cobalt. The road and wind noise is deafening, the seats are uncomfortable, and it has poor high speed stability and braking. As is to be expected with GM cars, the interior materials are very cheap and build quality is poor. The base trim is laughably equipped for a 2007, not even coming with power locks, windows, mirrors, or cruise control. Rear leg and head room is hilariously bad, anyone larger than a child will be cramped sitting back there. I've been plagued by issues relating to the front end suspension. The front shocks are shot, as are the ball joints I replaced 6 months ago. I've gone through 3 sets of front tires as the front end keeps coming out of alignment despite multiple visits to the shop to remedy the problem. Looking at other reviews, I'm not the only one who's had trouble with the front end. If you plan on buying a cobalt I highly recommend having a mechanic inspect the suspension first. Other than those issues, my cobalt has proven to be very reliable. I've never had an issue with it failing to start or dying on me. The 2.2 i4 seems to be pretty tough, I've put 30,000 miles on it with one cylinder running at half the PSI it should be without any additional adverse effects. This car should have died long ago, but it just keeps on going. Repair and maintenance costs are very low if something does go wrong. The cobalt is a great package for the price. It looks good, the manual is fun to drive, and it's easy on the wallet. If you are planning on buying, make sure the front end is solid and avoid the base model as it is so poorly equipped.

What I really like about the car: The sound system hits hard, the steering is smooth and tight yet controllable at high speeds, the battery on this thing is amazing. I've left my key forward for hours and came back to it and it starts right up. You can use the cigarette charger to charge right from the battery. The car doesn't even need to be on! Why haven't my other cars done this!? Seriously good fuel efficiency! I fill up the tank for 21 dollars and i can drive hours on the highway and only go through a half tank! Its a fun little town car to be frank, and its good in the snow( and I mean really good). No slips or close calls all winter. You have clutch control! The back seats fold down for easy storage of fishing poles etc. The thing i can say is that there is rust building up in places but that worries me why? I've had to replace the clutch but now i'm better at driving manual so it won't happen for a very very long time. This car needs frequent oil changes , its just too sporty not to, and it drives much better after each oil change. I've also replaced the wipers for some reason they were broke. It's a great little car just make sure the one your buying lives to it's name....the COBALT> THanks.

I bought this car new in January 2007. I liked it a lot, especially when gas was $5 a gallon in 2008 and within a week all the dealer lots were full of huge SUV's and no compacts were to be seen. Now it has 63000 miles on it and it's needed some work, especially the front-end (most of which is discussed in the "improvements" section). It was a very sensible car, and still is...but if you're not a DIY'ing shade-tree mechanic you'll be very disappointed with the early repair costs.
Sick Car!

If you put the money into your car like the intake system, big spoiler, tires and rims, and alarm system is very cool and fun to drive. I have only had a few problems but easy to fix. I hate the headlights though, very tough to replace!
