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 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!

  Fabulous Car - 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By zmurof - May 6 - 10:16 am

  I bought this car back in Nov 2005 and have driven around 45k miles since then and cannot really complain. The ride is a bit stiff on bumpy roads but is a joy to drive in mountain roads. The engine has adequate power(2.4L) for all situations. Other than regular service I havent had any reliability issues. No squeaks or rattles with regards to the interior. However, like other reviewers have mentioned the interior is still down on quality and there is definately room for improvement. Some of the plastics especially in areas of high contact(like the door handles/audio controls) are starting to wear out. The center armrest is awkwardly placed. I average around 30mpg on highway(auto)

  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!

  Not a great car.. very dissapointing - 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Ashley - April 25 - 1:13 pm

  I have had this car for one year and in the last month I have had to take it to the dealership 5 times. Each time the dealership is unable to find what the problem is. The problems range from shifter column malfunction, stalling, poor gas mileage, sluggish to drive, broken CD player, needed a new heating and cooling system, key gets stuck in the ignition, car wont shift from park to drive, foul odor from vents when heat or vents are used.

  Cobalt LS 2dr - 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Kevin - April 24 - 5:33 pm

  My Cobalt has been a decent car for the past 6000 miles Ive driven it. Gets great gas mileage! Only thing is now, the engine chugs between 2500 and 3500 rpm. Im going to take it in to check it out. The car has lots of trunk space, but has a very small trunk opening, so you can only fit rather small boxes into the trunk, which confuses me.
