2008 Cobalt XFE Sedan comments

I have only put on 2100 miles and am pleased with how the vehicle runs and the fuel mileage. It is the basic lowest cost Cobalt XFE sedan with air and manual tranny. At 75mph average on the freeway, it will deliver 34 mpg +/- 3mpg depending on with the wind or against. Has turned in 39.7mpg on 160 mile trip driving at 60 mph on freeway. Vehicle was purchased as a run around unit with trips not longer than 3 hours thus comfort (i.e. as in our Town & Country Van) was not a priority. It has fairly predictable handling with a quiet ride and is not buzzy as was found with some small foreign vehicles in this size.

2008 Chevrolet Cobalt LT 4dr Sedan (2.2L 4cyl 5M)

I chose the 2008 Cobalt LT based on its standard features, fuel economy, and low price. The Cobalt has nice sleek lines and a very simple aesthetic appeal. It's super peppy for a 2.2 liter and has an awesome turning radius. Highway noise is minimal and has a very smooth ride. I'm getting 34 MPG highway and about 26 MPG city.
Best deal on the planet. Great Car.

I was looking for a car under 15k, and I knew I was going to be giving up a lot to get it. This would be my daily commuter. After pricing a Civic, 3, Corrolla, and Focus I knew I was in trouble. Wasn't really looking at GM until I saw a Cobalt. I have seen them before but never really paid attention. Took it for a drive and was overly impressed. Got an LT and with options it was 4k less than a Civic with the same options. I love this car more and more, and with the rebates you can't beat the value. Very well built car. I would seriously consider this in lieu of the forementioned cars I was considering unless you are hung up on a name like Honda.
It’s a hit or miss!

This car is great if you are a young teen getting on to the road for the first time. Reliable and smooth drive, but when they say this car headlights are the worst about this car THEY MEAN IT!!!!! Old headlights new headlights it doesn’t matter this cars headlights are the worst thing to ever happen to a car. Which just so happens to be the most important thing of a car! I’ve only had it for two years and the headlights always seem to break right around expection time. I put brand new headlights in fresh off the box with good reviews and it still breaks. This car is a great day time car but don’t think you can ride this car at night.
