  Great car for price, needs work - 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Brittany - December 10 - 8:58 am

  I love this car. For being a young female its great, a lot better than my old Escort. It does need a little help though. I dont have a lot of rear seat passengers but they couldve given the rear more leg room. Very roomy in front. Only problem Im having is with the brakes. Yes, after 6500 miles the rotors got warped. Composite rotors with semi metallic pads dont combine well. Its a nice little car for me, rides smooth (other than the brake issue), good on gas and comfy for a tall person like me. Decent style outside for the price. I paid for what I got. Not much to complain about with it.

  Cobalt XFE - 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Bob - December 1 - 7:37 am

  XFE (5 speed) is tuned for highway driving. Flat terrain at 58mpg = 38-42mpg. Subtract 4-5 mpg for air conditioner! Poor in town mpg (23-26). Not good for stop and go commuting in a hot climate. Enjoy XM radio. Good seat adjustments (up/down, back-forth, tilt-lumbar). Chevy. Get rid of Coupe design. Dangerous, cannot see out of back, especially with worthless spoiler. Change to hatchback. Trunk is deep, but opening is miniscule. Cant even put a standard cooler chest in it. Poor access to rear seats. Also Chevy failed to support the XFE sedan. Could not find 1 in the whole US! Corporate didnt know either. Inexcusible. No wonder they are bankrupt!

  08 Cobalt LS - glad I bought it - 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By norb - November 11 - 2:42 pm

  Very good, solid car overall. Fun to drive, reasonably priced compared to the competition, and easy on gas. Ive put about 5000 miles on the car and have had no problems. Ive been getting 25-26 mpg around town, 31 mpg on longer trips, and I do have a habit of standing on the gas!

  Excellent car for the money - 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By balt lover - October 6 - 6:00 pm

  I purchased this car nearly 7 months ago, and it has completely surpassed my expectations. I am just over 6 feet tall, and of all the small cars I tested this one felt the most comfortable to me. It is extremely fun to drive, and even with my heavy foot, I average about 28 mpg in town, and have gotten as much as 38 on the highway. I would highly recomend this car to anyone looking for an econobox that is a kick to drive.

  Unbelievable Value - 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Tomster - September 21 - 9:04 pm

  Given the extremely low sticker price, I dont see how anyone with reasonable expectations could be disappointed with a Cobalt. I bought my LS 4 Dr Sedan with auto tranny on June 3, 2008. The sticker price was only $15,530, with the auto tranny and the spoiler being the only options. There was also a $2000 rebate at the time. I cannot believe what a sweet little car that Cobalt has turned out to be, especially considering the low sticker price. I bought the car purely for fuel economy, but I ended up with a car that is really fun to drive. It has amazing acceleration for a gas sipper, a quiet ride, a huge trunk, good handling, and great looks. I am totally pleased with this car!

  Sweet Chevy Ride - 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By somnambulist - September 19 - 5:16 am

  Chevy has hit the mark with the Cobalt SS. Its a great bargain, with amazing acceleration, a great stick, and a pretty kicking speaker system.

  08 Cobalt SS user review - 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Superbrowndude - September 18 - 7:59 am

  Great car, fun to drive. For the money you will not find a more powerful car from the factory with 260hp at 5200 rpm.

  Disappointed - 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Disappointed - September 8 - 9:26 am

  I purchased this car to drive to work and school. Bought it brand new. Previously owned a Chevy Lumina for many years. I think the best indicator in do you really like your car is, Would you buy it again? My answer to this one is an absolute NO. I disliked this car so much that after two months of owning and 3000 miles later, I traded it in on a used Subaru. The Cobalt is just another version of the Yugo. At least thats how I felt when driving. Everything in the Cobalt looks and feels cheap, like it wasnt very well thought out. My new line is "I would rather drive a used Subaru than a brand new Cobalt."

  Best value ever - 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By gr - September 6 - 3:53 pm

  A pleasant surprise. XFE coupe getting 32 city, 40 highway mpg with careful driving. Paid $11,600. Very comfortable seats, high quality fit and finish. XM radio. Driver Info center. Big trunk. I cant imagine a Toyota or Honda being a better value than this. Chevys best kept secret.

  Handles and looks great! - 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Astrid - September 3 - 4:50 pm

  I thought this car one of the best cars. It handles very good like youre driving on air. Its so fast and the sunroof I got to say is a excellent feature epspecialy here in Flordia. The opitions on the wheel such as changing the station on the radio is a brilliant idea when it comes to driving. The interior is beautiful and nice.
