Chevrolet Cobalt Review Summary

What reviewers liked most about the Chevrolet Cobalt:

"Handling is quite good for a car in this class, with reasonably good manners in corners and a compliant ride around town."

—Edmunds.com

"The Ecotec four-cylinder is a thoroughly modern and refined engine that provides good power and a smooth delivery."

—Edmunds.com

What reviewers liked least about the Chevrolet Cobalt:

"Despite its impressive specs, the 2.2-liter engine often sounds like it's laboring to produce that power, especially under full throttle, even with only two adults on board."

—Cars.com

"Stopping power good, but pedal felt spongy..."

—Consumer Guide

"All models suffered fair coarse-pavement tire thrum."

—Consumer Guide

Chevrolet Cobalt Comparisons:

"[T]he Focus, while lacking any significant power since the SVT model died, still has a suspension that is more sophisticated and responsive than the Cobalt's front-strut, twist-beam-rear setup."

—AutoWeek

"While it is miles ahead of the Cavalier, which is finally being put out to pasture, the Cobalt is by no means the segment leader."

—Cars.com

"The exterior is a yawner, one more universal small sedan, but the interior is a mini-Lexus in its shapes, tones, and textures. Chrome touches are back, in the bezels and door handles."

—Car and Driver

Best one-liners about the Chevrolet Cobalt:

"[In the Cobalt SS] we would have no problem...drag racing a few punks at red lights in Atlanta."

—AutoWeek
