A good car for now.

It's a great little vehicle. Need to get a bigger car in future due to the fact i have growing kids. Its a great size if you have little kids as far as a starter vehicle. I needed a car to get me from A to B now and so i am happy with that.

Solid car

This has been a good car for me, the only downside is the handling in the snow/ice. (Could be my tires) I’ve never had any issues with it.

My daughter just flipped it 2 times NO airbags

My daughter rolled the cobalt going from asphalt to very loose gravel, and not one single airbag went off. I'll be seeing Chevrolet in court VERY xxxxing soon. Dad

The worst car I have ever owned

Since I have gotten my car it has been acting out. The headlights wouldn't go off and constantly kill the battery. When I'm driving the car either stalls, doesn't accelerate past 30 mph, then powers down. All the mechanics say its fine but the problems are still there

Most reliable car I have ever owned.

I bought this car 5 years ago, and I will drive it until it dies. I absolutely love the car. Best car I have ever owned. I have only ever had to replace the thermostat in it.
