2005 review from the 80's? I liked my 05 Cobalt SS Supercharged but it wasn't luxury by any means and wasn't put together very well for the long run... I changed it out for 06 Z which I love...
@Wrtbrgr87 i dont know what to tell u but get a newer one, they are improved, and if u dont like the cobalt, the svt focus, and srt 4 neon will only make u wish that u had ur cobalt back just saying :)
this car is CRAP! i have one and i cant drive it AT ALL! the power steering (power assist motor) is garbage, the transmission is junk, and chevy in not concerned with anyones problems!
General Motors announced today that it is recalling 1.3 million cars because the steering may fail while you are driving. The recall affects the 2005 to 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt.
to bad the power steering goes out a lot they need to recall this pos. anyone thinking of buying this car needs to read the reviews on it from customers.......there are thousands of people that are having massive problems with this car.
I own an 05 SS/SC, and haven't had a complaint about it. I've had one thing go wrong with it, and that was the muffler started falling apart from inside. That was pretty much my fault though. The stock muffler couldn't take the beating I was putting the car through. lol. And the power steering thing is an easy fix. There's a video on how to fix it if it ever goes bad. You don't even have to replace the module. It's as simple as cleaning a part off.
is this a pitch for old people to buy a SS? if so I understand it... but I really don't think that's the demographic chevy was trying to reach with the Cobalt in the first place... funny watch though...
one of gm's best small cars . maybe the best . only thing for me is the dead steering , but hey.great engine in even the base 2.2 - feels like a small 6, and dosent work too hard as well
I got to drive an '06 Cobalt as a rental and was really impressed. Seemed like a much more expensive car and drove beautifully. Good power with the 2.2L. Ride was smooth as glass. Silky smooth auto tranny. Very quiet interior for an economy car. My Dad has a Chevy HHR, based on the Cobalt. It's better looking, but not as nice to drive. Feels underpowered with the 2.2L, cramped feeling up front, visibility is awful, and it's like driving a claustrophobic coffin.
Haha, try again. HHR has more cargo room, more power, and better fuel economy. PT cruiser is lame in comparison. It's based on the Neon. Need I say more?
I'm assuming you mean the HHR is a copy of the PT, but the HHR looks absolutely nothing like the PT. Both are retro interpretations of the old 1930's woody panel vehicles. There were many back then. The HHR simply came out when the PT was losing popularity.
@296jayce Well, you gotta keep in mind that the PT Cruiser is a 12yr old design. The fact it's still around is pretty amazing. It hasn't changed much at all in so many years. It's a dated design. So yes, by today's standards it does suck.
I've had 8 Cavaliers (91,88,93,84,85,96,98,98) and 2 Cobalts (05 base, 07 SS/SC) and all have been outstanding cars in reliability, economy and fun to drive. If something does fail, I never have a problem obtaining parts or servicing the vehicle myself unlike my colleagues who drive Asian and European makes.
My 07 SS/SC has been to track and run with and beat V8 Mustangs and Camaros without fear or hesitation. I think the Cobalt was an outstanding successor to the Cavalier.
POS, this car sucks and so does every car from GM. People should stop buying this shit to force the company to come out with better cars. It is an american ricer. A honda civic wannabe
wow man, u really need to read the rest of the comments, and reviews about this car before u open ur mouth to say somethin. so what do u drive...lemme guess...honda civc?? lol. Just go drive one and see. then you will know why its been dubbed the quickest and best value under $25,000. And why its only real competitor is the new WRX and the Mazdaspeed 3. nothing else comes close in this segment.
best value under 25,000? well... honestly the Cobalt SS is not for everybody... like me im 6'3 and work for GM as a PDI and i hate stepping in this car... for 25,000 i can buy a bigger... better... meaner.... well I work for GM but drive a Charger... should I be in Jail?
if its an RT or SRT-8, you are ok lol. And ur right, if u buy used, u can find something bigger with more power for that price, but im talking about brand new pricing.
daughter and son in law have two 06's , got them new. aside from one with a minor power steering "thing" that was fixed in one day - they are very happy. think they nailed it on this car
@Osbournejames u got that rite i just got a semi new 2009 lt cobalt and it drives good feals smooth and very easy to drive not a powerful race car but it is still a great car very comfortable for its size and it looks very nice!.
i can't understand this guy Jesus

Heck yeah! The Cobalt has the boring rental car look that Chevy is infamous for. At least the HHR has that retro style.

I bought a chevy cobalt 05 ls sport package about a month ago. only 8grand! had less than 40 thousand miles on it.
EXCELLENT CAR!! Mines a stick shift which makes the car even better in my opinoin and gives u a little more power.
I got nothing negative to say about this car runs great, runs fast, and runs smooth.
Since i got the sportspackage it came with the spoiler, titanium rims,and an amazing system!!!!!!!
This car is great on gas also, which is a big gimick in 08.
