  America at its best-wave your flag - 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By cragman1 - May 16 - 1:03 am

  I suppose every car has a "target market". Im not sure if they had me, a 52 yr old family guy who grew up in the 60s in mind, but Chevy won me over with this puppy. I had a lease coming to an end on a 2006 Saturn Ion (which I found to be "acceptable" like some reviews including the editors note) , so with the incentives offered by GM - it was off to the internet and the pavement. First off, this is a nice car for the money. Saturn dosent make a poor mans starter model car anymore so the divorce is final there. Chevy still makes a bang for the buck car here. And it kind of looks like a "little Vette" Drives great. Comfortable. Stylish.

  Bang for the buck - 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Gregg - April 15 - 12:16 pm

  Excellent car for the price. My son bought this vehicle to replace a 10 year old Saturn. I was impressed with the performance, styling, and safety features of the Cobalt. This may not be one of the "in" Japanese sport cars, but my son is getting a lot of comments about the car. The best part is that he can afford it.

  2008 Chevy Cobalt - Great Value - 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Andy - December 8 - 2:50 am

  I chose the 2008 Cobalt LT based on its standard features, fuel economy, and low price. The Cobalt has nice sleek lines and a very simple aesthetic appeal. Its super peppy for a 2.2 liter and has an awesome turning radius. Highway noise is minimal and has a very smooth ride. Im getting 34 MPG highway and about 26 MPG city.

  Peaceful Car - 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Ronna - October 26 - 1:36 am

  I got a 2008 Cobalt LS sedan, and its wonderful! Its great on gas and comforatble. I feel safe and secure in my new car. Its a perfect car for me, someone who likes to drive a lot and dont mind taking other people with me. It is a small car and though it does not look like it, it does have a lot of room for passengers without feeling cramped. It also tells you everything about the car with the push of a button :tire pressure in each tire, mileage left before needing gas, temp outside, avrg speed. Also, it is great with the fact that it is inslated well from the outside. I hear no wind noise or normal engine noise, so its a nice quite ride when I want it to be. I love it!

  2008 Chevy Cobalt Coupe LT - 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Pam - July 9 - 2:16 pm

  Even though Ive only owned my Cobalt for 33 days, its performance and appearance(Revolution Edition Package) is outstanding. Im 49" and i have the seat all the way up, which puts me very close to the airbag should it go off Ill be in big trouble. The acceleration outdoes my previous vehicle, which was a 2005 Trailblazer LS 4-wheel drive. I own a 2.2L DOHC 4 speed automatic,not a 5M.

  Great Car for the Money - 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Christian - August 19 - 11:43 pm

  The performance of the car is great. Handling is also great for an economy car, specially compared to the previous year and competitors. This car will be excellent for autocross.

  I bought this over the Corrola and Civic. My last tank of gas averaged 34.2mpg. The dash layout at great and the storage bins are layed out well. This is not a speed demon but can handle highway merges fine.

  3 months on... - 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By cragman1 - November 7 - 4:26 am

  This is my second review, having owned it for three months. My first review was from the new ownership perspective. This one is from the "getting used to it" side. I can honestly say that the Cobalt LS automatic coupe with a rear raised spoiler just keeps getting better from several perspectives. It looks a lot more expensive than it was (based on public reaction). It feels more expensive than it was (based on my owning a Mitsubishi as well and riding in Toyotas I dont own). And it performs as though it was a lot more expensive.

  Sport - 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By JohnS - July 16 - 1:56 am

  So far, so good. Like other reviews, I am also pleased with the leg room in this car for the driver. The back seats have little room when the seat are all the way back though. However, this car ended up being perfect for me. Although the sport costs a bit more, it was well worth the upgrades: better stereo, wheels, tires, sunroof, auto-gnition, etc. Acceleration is great too.
