Gets You Around

Cobalts have some known issues - the gear shift, the AC isn't all that robust, etc. It's good on gas and has good acceleration. It's fairly reliable but it's not a Toyota or Honda. There are some design issues for the head and tail lights, if your AC goes out the engine won't run, the battery is in the trunk and it's difficult to put the rear seats down.

A Faithful Car

I have had my 2006 Chevrolet Colbalt since it was new in 2005. Now 16 years later have not had any major repairs. I hope to be able to continue to drive it until either the car or I don't drive anymore.

Not that bad

Has a cold spot between the lower dash and the top of center console even with the heater on. Runs good, quiet runner. Doesn't handle snow all that great. Battery in trunk. Trunk too small. Automatic light actually means all light, not just dash lights or dash lights and head lights

A Faithful Car

I bought the 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt new in 2005, so it is now 15 years old. I've had no major complaints over the years and hope to be able to continue to drive it as long as it gets me there in one piece and brings me home again safely.

Rusty bucket

It's a 2006 and its rusting out already. Not happy about it. Handles well but not good in the snow. Only a 4 cylinder so I guess I shouldnt expect more. I have a 2006 toyotoe 6 clyninder. Runs great.

Piece o crap

Plastic car with roll up crank windows. Now just saving for real car. Wouldn't trust it on a long trip. Usual gm style, but I guess for compact what could you expect. It's like a boat anchor around my neck.

A Faithful Car

My car is now 13 years old as I bought it new in 2005. It has been a great car with no major problems. Once it was recalled for an ignition problem, but that was fixed by a Chevrolet dealer. I plan to drive it until it won't drive anymore or I'm not able to drive anymore, whichever comes first.

Most fun i have ever had

The Chevy Cobalt SS is probably the most fun i have ever had in a car. While it's the first car that i personally own, i have driven other cars before it. The Cobalt provides all the fun of a sporty coupe, while also having the practicality of a standard coupe. If i ever have to sell the SS, I am defiantly going to buy an LS or LE Cobalt instead.

Chevrolet Cobalt review

It's nice small car to drive. Not a very comfortable car to drive for a long distance though. Gets good gas mileage.

My little blue/green Cobalt

I have had my car since the fall of 2005. It has served me well and I plan to drive it until either the car or I don't drive anymore - whichever comes first.

2006 Chevrolet Cobalt

Purchased new in October 2005. It has served our family well . I am happy that this 'lower end' GM model has retained good integrity over the years - exhaust/body and dependability. The back seat is easy to access and good for kids, but not so much for adults.

I bought this car new and it has never given me any trouble. My hope is that it lasts me through my driving days.
