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.

  Brand New Car! - 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Shay - September 18 - 9:30 am

  We just purchased the Cobalt. My husband and I picked the Cobalt for the look and ride. We got a great deal on it and so far we love it! I hope it holds up good for the long run. But for right now its fun to drive, gets good gas mileage, and is very cute! We love it! I love the little info button that tells you everything!

  I Love It - 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Carol - May 24 - 10:00 pm

  I bought my car last week and just love it. My son bought one in November last year and I took his out for a drive one day and had to get one. I traded in a 2000 Malibu with only 47,000 miles on it. It has great gas mileage which is great now the way the gas prices are going again. I will be hanging on to this car for a while.

  Awesome Car - 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Kingston SS - April 21 - 12:10 am

  Awesome Car for the price you pay. Excellent performance in the high- revs, this thing is a Civic killer. Most other small cars had better watch out.. as fast if not faster then a V6 Mustang. Tires wear quickly but have ultra-hard sidewalls and will take alot of punishment. I hit a curb going 50kph on a turn and took out a chunk of rubber the size of a nickel, no cord, nothing. barelly a scratched rim. Awesome car.

  Excellent vehicle for getting the girls - 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Red Cobalt LS ohya - April 9 - 5:33 pm

  Its certainly not a Cavalier! This car is great, handles like a dream, and kept me out of quite a few accidents while driving too fast for conditions. Would definitely recommend buying one.

  My new little black car - 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Jen - March 25 - 11:10 pm

  I looked at Hondas and Mazda3 but ended up with a Cobalt. Its sporty, has good pick up and easy on the gas. Back seat nice size.Get the extra options. Sunroof, XM radio, white dials, cruise control, steering wheel radio controls, etc etc. It makes it feel even more like a luxury car.

  Chevrolet Makes Driving Fun Again - 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Ray Knapp - February 19 - 11:20 am

  I have owned many sports cars in my life and recently A Landcruiser. This car is fun to drive, looks great, excellent gas mileage and far a away the best dollar value in the market today. Mine has all the bells and whistles which add to its overall appeal. In looking for an economical vehicle that would satisfy my sports car blood and be reasonably priced, the Cobalt is a 10.

  Awesome car! - 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Darkonyx - February 8 - 8:20 am

  I have had this car for a while now, and have driven it quite a bit. I would commute 200 miles a day in it and no problems at all. Good gas mileage for what the car offers and plenty of pep in its step. The shift broke about 12k miles into it, dealer fixed under warranty no problem. Fun to drive and plenty of room. Back seat int he coupe is a little small for an adult but plenty for children. I even had a car back into at about 15mph and all it did was scratch my paint on the front bumper! I love this car, and you cant beat the quality for the price!

  It is totally fun to drive. The sound system is awesome. I have XM radio free for 3 months, so Im lovin that! It is a very smooth, quiet riding vehicle. I like the way it handles. Great on take-off, like getting on the freeway.

  So Far Love It! - 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt
  By Vin - January 2 - 10:36 am

  I owned many new cars over my life. The Cobalt had one of the best build qualities of any of them. The Cobalt is a very solid well built car, GM has there act together on this one. Ive owned it for 2 months now and have yet to find anything wrong. The cars ride is solid, the interior is very comfortable and the fuel economy is averaging 24 city 31 hwy. Im not complaining since my last car was averaging 13. The MP-3 stereo with the pioneer speaker system has a sound that has to be heard. I could drive this car for hours. Its fun to drive and very sporty to look at. The trunk is enormous. I would suggest the Cobalt to anyone looking for a solid car.
