Good car

Bought the car used. Only issue I’ve noticed on them is the rocker panels seem to rust on a lot of them, but that Is a cheap and easy fix if you buy the clip ons. Overall a good car for the price.

Reliable car with a lot of life left in it

This car is manual, other than that I love this car! It’s fast, reliable, fair pricing, and has been a great car for me for 5 years.

Clear Choice Auto Sales false advertising

I've driven this car before however when I drove the one specifically at Clear Choice Auto Sales there was definitely a clear choice that their inventory was shiny and not much else.

Most fun ride I have

This car has plenty of legroom, a lots of space in trunk. The strong engine compare to the light body make the car last long and lo maintenance. I believe one of the best for its kind

This is my first car I’ve owned

I love my Chevy cobalt. I have a ‘06 LTZ Chevy cobalt. I have reached a high limit of miles on the car and it still drives great. The only problem I’ve had is with the Electric Steering. I had to replace my Rack N Pinion. Other than that it’s a pretty reliable car.

A fun car to drive

This is a great car to have fun in!! The seats are incredibly comfortable. Makes it easy to learn manual on. Has two cigarette lighters making for easy charging spots for any device. Tints are a plus when keeping the car cool in the summer and protecting your eyes from the sun. Auto dimming rear view mirror. Handles great in all weather conditions and when taking turns.

Car is Unsafe to Drive

Car is not safe to drive due to power steering randomly going out, jerks like it's missing then stalls out...dash lights chime and randomly come on. This car has had multiple recalls for some of these very problems but we are unable to find out if any of the recalls have been dealt with. We've had it into three garages and unfortunately, the car runs fine with a test drive. Since its so unpredictable, it's unsafe to drive.

Reliable and doesn’t take much gas

The car is reliable, but has a small electrical problem, runs great, and parts are cheap to repair when needed. Great for a first car!
