• Respectable acceleration from all powertrains, smooth and quiet ride, good crash test scores.

• Cheap interior plastics, cramped backseat, lack of interior storage, dull handling, mediocre fit and finish.

  I wanted a safe, dependable car - 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Sad Dad - July 27 - 2:17 pm

  I wanted a safe dependable car to send my daughter off to college. She liked the sporty look, and we shopped until we found one with the bells and whistles. The car has 37,000 miles on it, so the bumper to bumper has expired (barely-- 36,000). While she was driving from Nashville, the power steering just quit working. Im glad she wasnt in a turn! Dealership and GM are not very sympathetic, but when I googled "Cobalt power steering," I found that this problem is widespread. I hope that anyone considering the Cobalt will use google and research this power steering failure.

  Mixed Feelings - 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Jessica - June 10 - 1:43 pm

  Not sure where to start...had my Cobalt for less than a month when I heard a horrible rattling noise. Took it to the dealership only to find that the windshield had been installed upside down and had to be replaced. Got the car out of the shop. Drove it for two weeks and started hearing a horrible noise in the front end. Two compressors later, and I still hear a bug zapper like sound when I run the heat or the air. Dealership swears that they cant hear it, but everyone else who has ever been in the car has commented on it. The car drives okay, but honestly, has been in the shop way to often for a brand new vehicle. As the owner of both an 07 Cobalt and an 07 Malibu LS, Im unhappy w/GM!

  Too Cavalier - 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Bill T - October 8 - 10:16 pm

  The 2007 Cobalt LS 2 door in some ways is a stylish car, but, from looking at the front and sides, looks too much like a re-vamped Cavalier. I expected more from this car than it delivered. Gas mileage on the 2.2 automatic is terrible for a 4 cylinder, eats far more gas than a Nissan Altima 2.5 4 banger, and isnt half as fast, in fact, its sluggish by comparrison. Comfort is basic, behind the times, needs better standard sound system w/ larger standard sized tires/ wheels. Vehicle is noisy inside passenger cabin, and exterior paint job inferior, marks/ chips easily. Many blind spots when parking, observing on- coming traffic from behind, and passing. Its a re-vamped Cavalier.

  $15,000 Nightmare - 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Harry - September 23 - 5:13 pm

  Well, to sum it up in one word, the word "nightmare" comes to mind. The car is actually very nice to drive, handles better than my Mustang ever did, and it has just enough pep to get me into trouble. However, let me tell you the bad about it. There is this rather loud, annoying rattle, which can not be figured out by two different dealerships. Had it in five times, parts replaced every time, and still nothing. Also, it has this little issue that makes it not start at the most of inconvenient of times. No one can figure that one out either. I will tell you that to me, this car is the biggest waste of money, and "GM integrity" that I have ever encountered. GM: Build a better Cobalt!

  So Disappointed - 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By So So disappointed - June 24 - 3:57 pm

  Purchased this vehicle used, had looked up car fax info and researched mileage. Guess what Im only getting 19 mpg in the city, its a good thing I only work 5 miles away. The car has a nice build and I cant find anything else I dont like about the car. Im just disappointed in its performance. Ive had other used vehicles with a V8 that gave me 22 mpg in the city. Ive taken it back to be serviced and Im told theres nothing wrong it must be my driving habits. Ive only put about 500 miles on this vehicle.

  Regret buying - 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Sean - April 21 - 2:05 pm

  Car runs well, no problem under the hood but its built crappy. After a while car rattles on highway when pushing on brake. This car is not reliable. I bought this car Feb of 2008 and traded it in for a brand new Scion tc this month. Car is not worth it.

  Room to Improve - 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Gail - February 26 - 1:20 pm

  Agree, need to pull interior door handles closer so as not a far reach. My biggest trouble is the seat, dash and steering. With long legs you move the seat back, but since the steering wheel doesnt scope, youre reaching. The steering wheel for tall people cuts out part of the speedometer located on the left and no matter how I adjust the seat and steering, its just not comfortable. I wish it had more head room also and a little more pickup like my previous small car. Im really just not happy at all with it and I really regret buying it. The trunk could use a larger opening.

  Good Car - 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Jarret - September 24 - 3:10 pm

  This is the first new car I have ever had. Good car for the $15,000 I spent after taxes. I have a middle of the road model with power windows and air conditioning. One irritating problem is that after owning the car for five months, I am now hearing a sound of something loose or rolling around in the front engine/tire area of the car whenever I make a moving right turn and sometimes a moving left turn. I took it to the dealer, and they claimed that only one of two mechanics who looked at the car could hear the sound. They stated that did not know what was causing it and could not fix it. I dont understand since sound is obvious, and I am continuing to press the issue with dealer.
