ALMOST PERFECT

I purchased my 2009 Cobalt new with 27miles on it 7/2009. It now has over 209500miles and its 4/2020. Only problem ever was that the clutch went out 2times. I have always changed the oil as I should and replaced tires. Other then that...EVERYTHING IS STOCK FROM NEW. I take that back I just changed spark plugs at 200,000miles from original. Still all original brakes, front end etc.

Car is ok, but dealer sold without airbags working

ok, but the dealer should have corrected problems before putting it on the lot for sale. Cost another $400 dollars to correct the problem with the airbags.

Super clean, no rust, dependable for the family.

Safe, dependable, thrifty car for college student. The car was detailed for safety, new tires, checked over for brakes, mechanical and cleanliness. Happy customer here. Kudos to Russ Dahlke, salesperson.

Very Reliable Car

Great car! Mine is over 10 years old 176,00 miles on it and still runs great! No major issues. Minor things like drivers’s side windows motor.

very reliable

I think all of the cobalt on the road are great buys. This car is very dependable, runs and drives great and for the money being the low mileage 49,000, it`s a steal.

Amazing reliability

Owned used 2009 cobalt since 2012. Not one major problem. Made sure all recalls were done before purchasing. Accomplished Preventive maintenance only according to owners manual. Have driven to Texas and back twice. Handled excellent in DFW ice storm. I Drive 400 miles to Bay area once a month. 120,000 miles racked up so far. Changed tires, shocks, oil, plugs, trans fluid and a map sensor. Cleaned throttle and replaced gas cap. Runs beautifully. Replaced front speakers and added tweeters. Excellent sound with minor wear and tear items replaced. I love it. Preventive maintenance is the key. Will replace timing chain at 130,000 miles (even though it is not required for this car). Wish I had purchased the SS.

Very good long commute car

This is very good long commute car. No issues at all. Great Stereo, Nice seats.Plenty of room inside for a small car. Gives an average between 25 - 30 miles per gallon.
