Overview & Reviews

A year after its debut, the Chevy Cobalt features an expanded lineup for 2006. Most significant is the addition of a new 171-horsepower SS trim level, which is available on the Cobalt coupe and sedan. Because this would cause confusion with last year's 205-hp supercharged SS coupe, that trim level is now called SS Supercharged. The remaining trim levels are also renamed: the Base trim is now the LS, the former LS is now the LT, and the previous LT sedan is now the LTZ.

• Strong acceleration with any drivetrain, smooth and quiet ride, solid brakes, good crash test scores.

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

  Blew away all Expectations - 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Lenny - December 20 - 10:46 pm

  Ive been driving for over 35 years and have owned more new cars than I care to count. I bought the Cobalt after shopping around for a month or so. It was way ahead of anything in its price range. I have over 5,000 miles on it and have yet had to return to the dealer for anything but an oil change. Its solid with one of the best build qualities Ive seen. I love this car. I bought the LT-2 in Ultra Silver and black leather interior. Everyone compliments me on how sporty she looks. It has every otption but power seats and all for under 19000 out the door. The electronic steering is a dream. The stereo blows away anything Ive heard. I highly recommend this car.

  This car is wonderful to drive, I feel safe and confident when driving. I would highly recommend this car, plus it is not too bad on gas. With gas prices these days, its nice to save a little at the pumps.

  I did my homework - 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Tim Cassidy - November 21 - 3:00 pm

  I checked out the Civic and Corolla and was not impressed. They cost more and look boring. The interior of the Cobalt looks just as good and has just as much plastic as the Honda and Toyota. The interior fit and finish, quality of materials line the reviewers love to use, tells me the Cobalt is the real deal since I believe most reviewers are bias in favor of the Japanese models. If that is all they can say, you know the Coblat is a serious contender. My other car is a Nissan Altima so you know that I am someone who really checks things out first and just doesnt buy American. I checked out Civic and Corolla and the Cobalt won, handily.

  I Love My Chevy Cobalt! - 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By susan kreger - May 15 - 2:10 am

  This is my 3rd lease with Chevy and this car is my favorite by far! I got a 2005 Chevy Cobalt LS with a stick and the car gives 150 percent. Its fun to drive, looks very sporty and the car never disappoints me. I get lots of complements on whoever sees it and each time I get in the car to drive it (no matter where) I am excited. The car is awesome!

  A Solid Package - 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Mike - May 1 - 12:03 pm

  This car is great for a commuter that likes the feel of a sports sedan. The fuel mileage is good considering the output of the engine, 171HP. The handling is crisp and the suspension absorbs very well. This is the first small Chevy that Im eager to drive, and tell my friends about. The interior is cozy, but if you want a larger vehicle you shouldnt be looking in this class to begin with. Its a sports sedan for the economical driver!
