Small Chevy Cobalts & Cavaliers Rarely disappoint!

Both Cavaliers and Cobalts are great starter cars or for anyone on a tight budget simply trying to get to and from work. I honestly dont know if I ever want to own any other brand of cars.

Not too bad for the price I paid

There was quite a bit of minor cosmetic damage to the car such as the paint peeling and the mirrors not matching but that was because the car's previous owner history showed that it was in a wreck. It drives fine other than you have to manually turn off the turn signal and the front speakers are blown

This Cobalt is not GM's best effort

I'm not sure what GM was thinking when they produced the engine for the Cobalt. While it really does have plenty of power for it's size, it has a very limited shelf life.

A decent car.

A good car for the money. Good pick up, reliable. Nice looking, comfortable interior nothing fancy. A little noisy on the road but for the price you can't beat it.

Good overall car

The Chevy Cobalt is a great overall car. This was my first car when I turned 16 and was reliable until I was 20 and then my youngest sister totaled it. Still wanting to get a Cobalt or a Cruze (since that replaced it)

Cobalt XFE best on gas up to 36mpg, made in USA

My Cobalt XFE has over 160,000 miles and still runs strong with no internal problems. Manual transmission makes it very good on gas, especially with the XFE (extra fuel economy) make it the most affordable fuel efficient vehicle ever!
