Chevrolet Cobalt 2001-2012Change

I have had this car since 2008.I have never had any major problems. I have never been stranded. Drive in snow I feel safe. this car handles very well in al weather conditions. I have considered trading it in but it's still in great condition and has been well maintained.

Bought this car with 80K Kms. It now has 300K kms. Its standard and drives well in snow. Repairs have been non-existant. Great starter car.

Good quality car that will get you from point A to point B. It is reliable, but when it does break down the parts are very easy to find and replace. You will not have to break the bank to purchase and maintain this car. Durable vehicule.

I've been driving Cobalt's for 6 years now and I've had very minimal issues with them. Always have started in teeth jittering cold or blazing hot weather. Surprisingly has got me through very heavy snow, lasted me for several hour long road trips. This is a great first-time driver vehicle.
It's now time to get a new one, there's a suspension fix that's just too expensive... this is probably due to me not being careful!

The cobalt was a good starter car, was cheap, went from a to b and didn't eat much gas. The mechanics were the same as the cavaliers before it and so it was decently reliable but not overly so, and really lacked punch when you put your foot down.

I love my cobalt. It has lots of features and i dont have to put a lot of money into repairs. Ive had it for over two years now and I dont have one complaint about it.

best car i ever had. was black 2 door drove very smooth and very easy on gas. the car itself wasn't expensive either. wish they still made the car.

This car has been very very reliable over the 7 years I've owned it, only this year have i started to have any problems with it and it was only the brake pads they were worn down, once I replaced them it worked brand new. Overall a great car I love it and don't regret the purchase.

There have been a few recalls on the vehicle for minor things. Also the driver side window was not sealed correctly so it always sounds like the window is open slightly. The blinker wire has come loose inside the door so I cannot hear my blinker. Otherwise its a comfortable car to drive and is pretty good on gas.

I have been driving the car now for 10 years, and can not believe how it has held up. Its not perfect, but I have not been required to do as much maintenance as I expected by this point in my cars life span.

The car was originally my sisters car bought brand new in 2007 and she had it right up until 2015 when she bought a new car and gifted the colbalt to me I have not had to put any work or money into the car. I would say it is really reliable other than the recalls that have happened.

This car is great all around . this car is one of the most reliable car i have driven you can put it through a lot and it will always come out swinging

I have not had to put much money into to it. I find it good on gas and very reliable. The interior is nothing special, but the car gets you from A to B. The trunk space is sufficient and the seats fold down for extra room. I would have no hesitation getting another one.

great starter car exellent on gas no issues exept maintance imy only complaint is the plasticky interior but all n all i wouls revbuy one

I bought my car from a dealership, one previous owner. The car handles great in clear weather but for the winter, it is a light-weight. I find that it just doesn't have the weight/handling to consider this a first choice for anyone having to drive long distances on a regular basis during the winter months.

For the most part the car has been low maintenance, that said, within the first 80,000 km (I bought it at 46,000 km), I had the steering column and swing bar, brakes, rear suspension replaced. I also had to have the stereo replaced, twice, wonky wiring and I still don't have a working speaker on the passenger side. The brake light bar over the trunk has given me trouble with wonky wiring, coming loose. I've had no issues with the electrical system whatsoever. The a/c is fine. There was some warranty (recall) work done on it regarding the ignition switch. It took over 2 yrs from the date of initial contact to having it fixed.

The downside, despite having split seats to make the trunk larger, the trunk is incredibly small. In terms of legroom, like, none, if you are of average height in the front.

Mine, automatic, a/c, manual windows, cd player/ stereo. Happy overall. Like I said, it has all the bells, but none of the whistles.

This is my first time owning a Chev Colbalt. I bought it used in a private sale and was pretty nervous to be honest, because with private sales... You just never know. Since getting the car 2 years ago I have put 13,000 miles on it. So far 2 tie rod ends had to be replaced, fuel line,and a wheel bearing. In other makes and motels I have drove the tie rod and wheel bearings seem like normal ware and tear to me, nothing to complain about. I was not impressed about the fuel line since the car has hardly any rust but a piece was corroded I guess. My favorite thing would be that it is small and I am short so I find it easier to drive compared to bigger cars I had in the past. And the fuel economy is really good which makes me quite happy seeing as the car is going on to 10 years old.

so this car is very very nice inside and out
very good on gas
very cofty
nice look
love sporty
very reliable not only from points a to point b

This car is a great ride - has good fuel economy ranging 10 litres per 100 Kilometres.
The seats are comfortable and has a modern interior design, and even though it is a small sedan, it has enough room to seat 5 people.
This car is reliable and dependable - of course, as long as it is kept well oiled and maintained.

overall really good car and very dependable especially in winter. Never had any issues with it. always did oil on time and verification. I will miss this when sold

reliable, fuel efficient car. The car is a pleasure to drive. It's a surprisingly spacious car, it fits 4 adults quite comfortably. Excellent car for a young driver's first car. It handles well and is very user-friendly.

With the 5 speed manual transmission, our base model Cobalt sedan is fun to drive... as long as it's not too far ! Road noise is atrocious, the 90% plastic interior is harsh, and the seats are inconceivably uncomfortable... with their rock-hard "slouch back" rear "cushion", and ram-the-head-forward head rests. Possibly the only seat that's more uncomfortable, would be that in an aircraft.
That aside... we bought ours new in May, 2008. It now has 101,000 prairie KM on it... 100 % trouble free. Other than a new set of tires, the car is stall practically as new ( yes, we REALLY look after it ! )
Should mention, the manufacturer's claimed fuel economy, did not really become reality until the car had over 60,000 KM on it. Now it DOES deliver that.

Driven a 2009 cobalt a lot, thought I'd give my Impressions.

Pros; steering wheel look (same one as corvette) Sunroof option.

Cons; seat comfort, radio quality, fit and finish, reliability, power (engine) it's weak. Gas pedal. No back seat room. Recalls. Small gas tank. Handling. Lots of body roll. Paint, surface rust already. Out dated design. Flimsy doors. gauges. No power seats. Handling feels fake.

Overall; as a first car it's OK. Anyone else thinking about buying one? Don't. You'll be majorly disappointed. I'm going to be honest. The car is junk.

i love this car.
I can drive so far on a single tank of gas.
and made me feel like i was in a expensive ride.
Comfortable, safe.

The Cobalt is an excellent car, excellent on gas millage
as hardly break down if do a regular oil change.

I bought this car simply for my 150 km commute every day in northern Ontario. This car just simply never gave up, it has gotten me through some of the crappiest weather without fail. I have a good set of winter tires which helped a lot. This car got great gas mileage giving me around 8km/100km, i would spend around $60 a week in gas, which I thought was pretty good. Now that gas prices are cheaper the price is just above $50.
