Overview & Reviews

The Cobalt is a replacement for the aged Cavalier and like its predecessor it's available in both coupe and sedan body styles.

• Smooth ride and sporty handling, torquey four-cylinder engine, premium content for basic-car price.

• A few cheap plastic interior parts, odd exterior styling details.

  Excellent choice for the money - 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By dwilburn - December 24 - 9:03 pm

  This car performs with cars 2 or 3 times the cost. It is fun to drive and gets excellent gas mileage. I am averaging around 27 mpg (city and highway combined). A real affordable sporty car.

  My Best Car - 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Sheryl White - December 15 - 4:46 pm

  I have never driven a better vehicle. It is easy to handle and takes curves great. It looks fantastic and makes me feel young again. The intel center provides great information, especially the oil sensor. No more need for sticker reminders on my windsheild.

  Love it! - 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Ali - November 25 - 4:10 pm

  Having two small children, I did my research and decided on the Cobalt. I was very surprised at the roominess the back seat had. Most sedans I looked at had little if any room in the back. The 4 cylinder engine surprised me with its quickness. It handles & rides great. Gas mileage is awesome. I went from having to fill the tank 3 times a week with my SUV to only once a week with the Cobalt. The standard options were enough for me. However the car did come with a few extra’s including anti-lock breaks. For an inexpensive car it has an expensive look. While at work I get at least one person a day, if not more, wanting to look at the car and asking questions about it. Chevy did an awesome job.

  Buy American - 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By BILL - November 25 - 6:13 am

  This car is better than my 96 Cavalier with 186,000 miles and sister-in-law is still driving it. The Cobalt is fun to drive and we get a lot of compliments on its looks. Very solid ride and feel. You feel like you’re in a much bigger car.

  I Love My Cobalt - 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Holly - November 13 - 1:26 pm

  Ive driven mostly larger vehicles with the exception of my Corvettes. I needed to have a gas economical car for my distance driving and was pushed to the Cobalt by my 19 year old son. I test drove the Cobalt and was impressed by the ride, comparing once again to the larger vehicles (SUVs) Ive owned in the past. I was very impressed at the handling, solid feel and pick-up for a "4-banger". I love my new Cobalt and love my son for pushing me toward looking at it closer (although he would have preferred I bought the SS; what teenager would have thought differently). Great car for the money. Ten stars to Chevrolet on this one!

  Nothing but problems - 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Chris W. - October 17 - 6:10 pm

  I have had my Cobalt for a month now, and it has had nothing but problems. Its been in the shop three times. First it was the AC, then it was a wiring problem causing dash and tail lights not to work, now the radio wont work. Think twice.

  Nicest car I owned so far. - 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Anne Pennock - October 17 - 3:53 am

  This is a great step up from the Cavalier, I owned a 1999 and a 2001- I like them but this is really a much better car. Feels solid, rides well even over our bad roads. Very comfortable seating. Probably the best car Ive owned considering my low end price range.

  Comfortable Gas Sipper - 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By vc999 - October 11 - 1:00 pm

  Ive put 3000 mostly highway miles on this car in just over a month. I purchased side curtain airbags, the enhanced MP3 CD player, and Pioneer speakers as options to the automatic LS Sport package. The seats are comfortable for long distance driving, and the car does "feel" like a larger car. Im getting 29 - 31 MPG according to the digital readout. The steering column tilt lever should be redesigned to be smaller as it can be a knee stabber in the unlocked position. I also miss having a power seat control option. Thumbs up to Chevy for producing a competitive, fun to drive domestic small car.
