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.

  I bought my new Cobalt this summer and was impressed with the comfort while driving and its easy handling. It has a very smooth ride and great acceleration. Also the trunk space is huge. It is a great car!

  I love My SS. - 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By YoAdrian - April 7 - 12:36 am

  I started out looking at the Mazda 3 and I am very happy that I ended up with a Cobalt SS. I test drove just about every comparable car in this class and the Cobalt felt just as good as the Honda Civic and Nissan Altima. I will admit that I really liked the way that the Mazda 3 drove; however, The Cobalt SS is a great driver- on the highway as well as around town. I have always been cautious of American cars and I am glad to say that GM is finally building quality small cars. I am getting between 28-30 mpg with about half of my driving on the highway. The car feels solid, no rattles.

  I love to drive this car. For a 4 banger it has a lot of get up and go. The car has a nice layout and handles great.
