Chevy Cobalt, a true value
For the money, the power, build, and fuel economy it is just as good if not better than any import. Kudos to GM for this vehicle. And as a former Honda, BMW, Mercedes owner I'm not just saying that. GM is again an entry level leader.
Cobalt
Roomy and comfortable car with a large trunk. Low exterior noise. Window handle and seat belt keeper need to be of better quality.
Doesn't age well at all
My girlfriend has a 2007 cobalt with 140,000 miles and my mom has a ponitac G5 (same car different name) with 120,000 miles. I'm from Michigan, the rocker panels on both cars completely rusted out and is spreading to the underside of the car. The G5 timing chain caused it to need a new engine at 70,000 miles. The Cobalt needed a new timing chain too, I replaced it at home in the garage. the Cobalt burns a quart of oil every week and has had all kinds of suspension issues in the front end. The G5 is currently in the shop for an issue with the control arm bushings. They are cheap and have decent power for little cars, it's not worth it for the headache these cars will give you.

Reliable and sporty
Bought used with 30,000. Put on 150,000 miles. We live in Montana and it winters well. Its gone through 3 brake jobs but no other repairs. Mpg on highway mid 30 mpg, less in winter. Not made for gravel roads which we live on. The wheels go out of balance easily with mud and dirt or snow build up. It's not a car for teaching kids to drive as the steering is a little too quick. Trunk is tight to get a cooler in. A small kids bike will go in. It's amazing in parking lots and great for quick acceleration to get on the freeway.
Great Commuter Car
We purchased this car as a commuter for my wife, really not expecting an exceptional vehicle for $13,500 out the door. My feelings have changed after making several day long drives, really taking a liking to the car. With 266 miles on the odometer we're getting 39 miles per gallon on the interstate, really great on a car that advertised 34 MPG Hwy. Secondly it handles exceptionally well and is comfortable to drive. 95% of the time I drive a full size truck, never paying attention to the fact that your constantly scrutinizing your size in a given space... it does weigh on you in commuting. This is a nice car and we're actually discssing getting another in the Pontiac version. So far, elated!
