Overview & Reviews

The 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt receives minimal changes. A few new audio systems and wheel styles debut; a 3-spoke steering wheel replaces the former 4-spoker; and GM's remote vehicle start feature joins the options list.

• 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.

  07 Cobalt LS 5sp updated - 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By ken - April 13 - 9:21 pm

  This is an update from my 9/13/07 post. This is a great little car. Fuel economy is 34 to 36 on my mostly highway commute at about 60 mph. Got 40 mpg on trip once. Seats are still comfortable. Shifting is not as crisp as when new. Never been back to dealer for any warranty service. Oil change is super easy with the front cartridge filter and oversize filler cap. Tires will need to be replaced before next winter.

  Good gas mileage? - 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Bob H - December 5 - 7:50 am

  Bought this car new in March of 2007 and currently have just over 20k miles. The selling points of this vehicle were the gas mileage and comfort of the interior (considering its size). The sticker stated 24 mpg city and around 30 mpg highway. On the highway the car gets the 30 mpg but in the city Im lucky to get 17mpg. I have a 1999 Subaru Outback with 189K miles that gets better mileage in the city. Very dissapointed. The car its self is pretty reliable. I had it to the dealer 5 times (3 for the same problem). I think the 5 trips to the dealer speaks more for the dealership than the car. Finally, if you get this car step up to the LT model. No power windows or door locks gets tiresome.

  So-So Feelings - 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Doug - October 9 - 9:05 am

  I have an 07 SS Coupe. I drive a lot. My gas mileage has been less then desirable with getting at the most 27mpg highway. I have 42k on it now and at 40,500 I had to have my transmission replaced. Thank goodness for extended warranties or it would have cost a fortune. Styling is great. I get a lot of looks from people because the car looks hot in black. Tires are expensive to replace and the SS is so low to the ground it doesnt clear most speed bumps without scraping. Unless you get a great deal on this car, I would think twice.

  Great for the price - 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By GregNLisa - August 12 - 9:33 pm

  My wife and I bought this car for her commute 40 miles/day. So far, excellent value. Paid $10k for used 07 LT Coupe/Automatic with air, cruise, tilt, pwr. windows, locks, CD player, etc. 26,000 miles. Good mileage, 35 consistantly on highway, 28-30 around town. Very quiet inside, almost no wind or road noise. 100k mile engine/transmission warranty nice plus. Considered a Civic or Corolla, but nothing this new with a decent warranty could touch the price. Would of had to buy a 5 year old Civic or Corolla to get to our $10k budget.

  Pretty Cool - 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Cynt - July 6 - 6:25 pm

  Before I got this car I had a 2000 Chevy Prism that was amazing. So to compare the two has its ups and downs. The Prism got way better gas mileage. With the Cobalt it probably get about 25-29 MPG where before I was getting at least 35MPG. Its really stylish and I love the MP3 jack. Getting on the highway is great because it doesnt take long to get up to speed. I didnt get power locks or window and thats the biggest regret. It stinks to have to reach over and unlock doors and manually roll down windows. Wish the radio would crank up a little louder also. I love the digital display for the information center. However I wish OnStar and ABS was a standard. Overall pretty good and fun to drive!!

  Gas mileage wins - 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By MustangGT - June 16 - 12:19 pm

  In these trying times, our auto transmission LT sedan has shown outstanding gas mileage. Over 28 mpg around town all the time. It isnt suppose to be that good says the EPA, but well take it. Its a fun car, quieter than many other four cylinder cars in its class. We bought it used from a local Chevy dealer and after three months, no headaches.

  Great Car For The Money - 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By MissShona - April 30 - 3:54 am

  We got this car out of pure necessity (our previous Neon was on its last leg). The Chevy Cobalt seems to be a much more solid car than the Dodge Neon. The only thing we needed to go back to the dealer for was the window sealing/trim falling loose from the door seal. What a great way to get from point A to point B without breaking the bank!

  Great Little Car For The Money ! - 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Limo Mike - April 5 - 3:24 am

  I have had my Cobalt for just less than a year now and I have to say I am very pleased over all. First off I got a great deal. The car is definitely more than I had expected. I find it fun to drive and very comfortable even on long trips. The car is gorgeous from the outside and the interior is very nice for a car in this price range. It has just enough power to make me happy. If I wanted a race car I would not have bought this. The handling should be more that adequate for most drivers. The ride is much softer and more forgiving than most cars in its class. Overall I think it is a vast improvement over the Cavalier it replaced and a great value for all that you get.

  Overall decent car, but easy to love. - 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Dan2832 - April 4 - 11:40 pm

  I bought my Cobalt brand new in 2005, so Im sure by now Chevy has tuned the model up some. But overall it is a decent car. I would have tried to get rid of it but they do grow on you. The ride is good and the handling is great. You would expect fuel economy to be better from a 4-cyl. though. The worst parts about it are the interior design and room. The backseat isnt comfortable or roomy at all and the trunk opening is tight. Headlights are average and on long drives it can get uncomfortable. Worth a look though.

  Disappointed - 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By lilcrown - April 1 - 11:11 pm

  I bought this car new, Its only been a year and I want to get rid of it! Ive had problems with the transmission, wiring, the stereo system. The passenger airbag said off when I had an adult sitting in the passenger seat! There are strange noises and it goes back in the shop tomorrow because its making a jerking motion when Im accelerating at a consistent pace, and shaking when I take my foot off the brake! Ive already had this car in the shop for 6 things, now itll be 7, and its been in the shop for 21 days already not to mention how long it will have to be in this time! I think I would have been better off getting used! Not worth the money! GM really disappointed me with this one!
