Great affordable car for one of my kids in college

Great car at a great value. 2 door coup is stylish for a young adult. Really good gas mileage. Met the owner at a neutral site and test drove the car and bought the car the next day. Cars.com is the way to go when looking for a used car!

Reliable car that fits a small person

I like it so much that any other car doesn't match. After several inquiries from car dealerships that wanted to give me a trade in, I finally said "This car is perfect for me. I'm keeping it as long as possible." With 83,000 miles, it is still going strong!

Bigger on the inside than on the outside

I inherited this car, so I didn't pick it out. I've been using it mainly for my teenagers to learn to drive in and/or borrow, but recently I've been driving it because my regular car died. I haul a lot of stuff for my job, and have been surprised at what I can get in the Cobalt. I usually drive a crossover with third row seats that fold down -- somehow I was able to get everything I needed except for some six foot tall display panels in the Cobalt for a trade show. I've also been able to drive it up a very steep, winding gravel driveway without spinning tires (maybe my driving skills account for that, but I was still pleased it could handle it). Not bad looking either.
