Crash Test 2005 - 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt 4dr. Sedan (Frontal Offset) IIHS

[YCgopi]

i have a 2008 chevy cobalt LT sedan and i commute about 60 miles on the days i work, 30 n 30 back and i average about 39-40 mpg going about 58-65 mph! i was very pleased going from a navigator to a cobalt! its a wonderful car! perfect for the commuters! interior is nice on the 2008s +

[YCgopi]

n yes i used to commute that much in the navigator! which only got 11-14 mph! coulda saved tons of gas money if i bought it sooner!

[Annihilator1111]

the 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt was assembled in

Lordstown, Ohio, United States

[Myuzaki]

ya know what..

i never saw any of these cars on the road, but then when i win one in midnight club 3 dub edition, they suddenly start appearing on the road. wtf??

[Myuzaki]

@David12King yeah.. true.. chevy cobalt season, they mate like crazy

[MomentFan96]

I have a cobalt SS. V8 in this car is great! But i have the coupe. It looks to me like the coupe is a bit safer than the sedan.

[GulWestfale]

@MomentFan96

V8?

[Wing77Zer0]

@MomentFan96 The cobalt only comes in 4 Cyl models...

(excuse me if you installed one your yourself)

[onionofdeath]

@MomentFan96 I didn't know you could fit a V8 in there, tell me, which engine did you go with?

[drudawg911]

so ... this means its safe?

[acydcy]

what a junk box

[BermudaGreenNox]

I drive 70 miles a day and my cobalt's been great. Getting 48.3 mpg average is good. Got mine in February 08 and have 30,000 miles on it!

[SSSDiaz7]

May I ask whether or not you drive it like a granny would, riding around shopping for groceries on a Sunday morning with a feathered foot, because mine on the highway gets about 27mpg, but I dog my engine stich shift style, I think that might be it huh.

[BermudaGreenNox]

No, usually I'm doing 70 on the highway. I travel where there's a lot of hills. Yeah, the stick-shift style may be doing you in, but not that much. Checked the tire pressure?

[JPeeper]

Holy, I own one and this is crazy. The whole front end gets crunched into nothing. AHAHA

[BermudaGreenNox]

That's good. The object of the crush zone is to absorb the energy before it gets to the safety compartment.

[spartaeus]

Check out the Smart Car crash test. I saw it and thats why I bought a Cobalt Instead.

[skunkworks226]

that was very smart of you

[719FoxRider719]

is this a good car? im looking at gettin one? tell me what you think if you have one

[struckync]

i bought a 2005 used cobalt with 45k miles, just to drive back and forth to work, i get about 28mpg going 12 miles one way with 5 stop lights. no problems with it, great car.its a hell of a lot better than the honda civic i had.

[ambee514]

dude i freakin love this car, i am gettin 30 MPG from an automatic. and it has a decent amount of power too. critics complain that it is bland and that the interior feels cheep but i dont agree. but a tip, dont get an ls if it is an 06 or later, it is very stripped down, but you get what you pay for

[StalePhish]

I get 37 with my 2007 Pontiac G5 (the same thing as a 2007 Cobalt Coupe)

[ambee514]

u have a manual transmission?

[StalePhish]

Automatic gets 37.

The base model Pontiac G5 is the exact same as the Chevy Cobalt LT (except the front grill, steering wheel logo, and tail lights -- all of which are purely cosmetic differences)

[mistressmandy4589]

The interior felt very cheap in my '05 Cobalt. The silver started peeling off of the handles of the door on the inside.

[splattermark]

We've got an 06 automatic Cobalt and, with a 50 mile a day commute (mostly on the highway, at 65 mph) I can expect 34-36 mpg. One time, though, I got curious and set the cruise control at 55 all the way home and managed 41.8 mpg. Pretty impressive from a 2800lb, 145hp car! It's good to see that American auto makers have started to take small cars seriously, after how godawful the last geration of compacts were.

[oggta]

i get up to 32 mpg (ive gone up to 40 mpg) with my SS 08 cobalt, freakin awesome. plus i still got the power just in case i need it lol

[1nflame5w3tru5t]

I get about 42 (avg) in my 09 LT with a bolt on turbo. :) Fucking love it. I can buy american and my MPG puts Hondas to SHAME.

[EpiDemic117]

Civic Hybrid Epa estimate 45 MPG.

[palebeachbum]

Definitely better than the Cavalier, but not as good as some other small cars. I'd feel safer in this Cobalt than I do in my '97 Tracer. It did good for it's time, but not compared to this.

[irocz0r]

Cool! I'm glad to see my car performs well in this crash.

[tainted111]

Cobalts should be outlawd

[DarkCharisma]

Looks pretty good, I don't worry too much about my girlfriend getting seriously injured in the 05 Cobalt I bought her...

[r0k088]

Delta platform cars are so god damn safe ...!

unbealivable.. one of my buddies lives from a 130km civic hitting himm..!
