  I think it is a great car. It might be small but it acts like it is all grown up.

  LS Coupe with Sport Package - 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By mjoconn - October 9 - 11:00 am

  Surprising attributes for a compact car from GM. Solid firm ride without any harshness. Quiet, quieter than my wifes Buick LeSabre. Resonable power for a car that gets 35 MPG on the highway. So far Im getting around 27.4 MPG driving around town. (according to the trip computer) Would like to have the S/C engine in this car but dont want the stiff suspension and sky-high spoiler.

  Worst Purchase Ever Made - 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Candyce - October 3 - 9:10 pm

  This is the worst decision I ever made. $18,000 down the drain. 3 days after I drove the Cobalt off of the lot, one of the fog lights went out. 2 weeks later, the other went out. The CD player often reads "ERR" and refuses to work, or says "NONE" when there is a CD in there, and wont eject the CD. A month after buying it, the front rims fell apart and my front grill is hanging half-way off. My emergency break and high beams lights flash/stay-on randomly when NEITHER are in use. And after only 17,000 k mi, the transmission went up. This car is of the cheapest quality and was the poorest investment I have ever made. Two thumbs down to the 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt.

  A Few Problems - 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By CZ006 - September 18 - 11:53 am

  After having my Cobalt for a month, I noticed that the paint was peeling on the roof. I returned to the dealer and they indicated that it was some chemical problem with the paint. They had the spots painted for me. Upon getting it back there was a new spot so I had to return it again. I wasnt really happy with the spot painting because if it can happen on the roof whats to stop it from happening on the rest of the car. Also have a problem with the cloth coming up around the door handle which they did agree to fix as well. All in all, Ive been to the dealership 8 times and I have only owned the car 2 1/2 months. Im sad that my first experience with a new car had to be like this.

  2005 Cobalt LS Rocks! - 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Jordan - September 9 - 1:36 pm

  Bought it new, and Im amazed at the craftsmanship and overall quietness of the car. Doors and panels have a solid feel to them, They are well-designed, totally unexpected. Mileage is on par with my previously owned Corolla, even though the Cobalt has a bigger engine and more power options. Im very pleased.

  First Two Weeks - 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Maresha - May 26 - 2:56 pm

  I really like the look of the sport coupe with the rear spoiler. The tail lights on the sport coupe look sporty too, they remind me of Corvette tail lights. The sedan has different tail lights. It seems the rear of the sport coupe is a little higher than the sedan, & I like the angled rear lift appearance. The car handles & drives well for a 4 cylinder, considering Ive driven a V6 300ZX for the past 15 years. It would be awesome if Chevrolet made the sedan with the same rear lift and taillights that the coupe has, because I think a car like that with the spoiler & moonroof would scream! After driving a 2+2 300ZX, I had wanted a four door, but went with the coupe because the look is so hot.

  Money Saving Coupe - 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Mike - May 15 - 6:36 am

  I leased this car have been having a blast driving it ever since. The stylish look and the awesome fuel economy are its two best features. The new 2005 paint scheme is a brilliant blue granite metallic that terns heads everywhere I drive. The peppy 2.2 engine really surprises me especially in 3rd gear 35mph to 60mph in a heartbeat, makes getting on the freeway a breeze. I currently commute 54 miles one way to work, so the fuel economy was exactly what I needed. It gets 34 mpg just as the sticker at the dealership stated, and in my opinion, looks far better than the Civic and for far less money.

  Fun Fun Fun - 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Melissa - May 10 - 2:26 pm

  I love my new Colbalt. Im not a car expert, so I may be blind, but this car is perfect for my needs. Ill be going away to college this fall, and I needed something good on gas, with lots of room to haul stuff, that was resonably cheap, and this car fit all of it. I also love the look of it. It looks a lot more expensive then it is.

  Best Investment - 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By SassyGem - April 5 - 6:56 am

  This is my first brand new car, and after years of driving hand me downs and discards, I love this car. I travel with my 100lb. dog and it has ample room for us both. Thats why I chose the sedan over the coupe. With XM Satellite radio, I couldnt believe I wasnt in heaven. While it uses a little more gas than Im used to (I drove a Honda for years and theyre gas misers), its not bad for an American car. I average about 26 mpg. During a recent road trip to VA beach from NY- I filled up once and it took me down with gas to spare! I am very pleased! My boyfriend loves the stereo system that came in the car.
