"I bought my 2006 Red Chevy Cobalt in 2009 thinking it would be a good reliable car cheap to operate car. I am a college student and work almost full time and needed something relaible and cheap to drive. Both my parents have always driven American made cars and havnt exoperienced many problems with them, untill my car came along! Dont get me wrong there are thungs I like about this car and thing I hate! first the gas millage, for the size are it is I would expect it to get 30-35 miles to the gallon on the higway, wrong I get around 26 and I travle very lightly! Second a year after I bought the car I had to replace the transmission mind you the car was only 4 years old and had 69 thousand miles on it. I just replaced the break rotters again for the second time becuase of a shaking in the steering wheel, which still shakes!And not to mention I have had two flat tires since I bought the thing (although I realize a flat tire is not something the car manfucture can control) a few other things I hate, the back seat has NO leg room the LS model I own didnt come with a center arm rest console for the front seat! I know shocking! I bought this car becuase I liked the looks it claimed to have good gas milage and it seemed like it would be a worrie free car, WRONG! I wouldnt reccomend a chevy cobalt to anyone! Stick with the forign cars!...the next car i buy will be a Honda!"

"I bought this car 3 years ago. Since then I have been locked inside it at 50K miles. I was stuck in it at Walmart and had to kick the inside of the door while pulling on the handle to get it open. Yes it was under warranty but I didn't pay money for this hassle. The power door locks went hay wire again after this issue was fixed, due to this the outside door handle broke off trying to get the door open, but this wasn't under warranty even though it happend because of something that was. The windshield broke for no reason. There is no rock chip and I didn't have my heater or stereo up. The doors are too big making a 2 door even more of a hassle. The upholstrey does not stand up to stains at all even with a stain guard that I applied. I am also extremly dissappointed at how this car has depreciated so much in 3 years. I may get 1/3 out of what I paid for it. One good thing is the gas mileage."

"I bought my Cobalt about a year ago, since then I've put over 25,000 miles on it, without one thing going wrong with it. All I've had to pay for is for the normal maintainance, i.e. oil changes, tire rotations, etc. Solid little car, take care of it and it'll last"
