2010 Chevrolet Cobalt User Reviews

Pros

Excellent Very Competent Little Car

Cons

None - I'd buy it again

Purchased As New

Bought it new in 2006. Stickshift version gets me 42 mpg if I do 53-55 mph on flat highway with cruise on. Bought it with leather heated seats and roof and great factory stereo. SO far just oil changes..heated seats are great in the winter. The factory contis' lasted 40,000 on the front and 60,000 on the rear. This is a supurb value and if outfitted correctly can make any trip very very bearable. If you have to dress to impress perhaps this is not your ticket, and it certainly doen't garner any admiration from the tree hugger mafia BUT_ This is a G R E A T Value. After 65,000 car still feels tight and has been a joy to operate in terms of $$$ outlays. The oil filters are available at Walmarts for about $5.00 and the crankcase takes 5 full quarts with the filter being external. ( You can do the oil changes for about $11.00 in your garage)... Splurge on the goodies - They work well and flawlessly.. the roof really makes this a fun ride when the sun is not at midheaven, and so far no leaks or rattles from it. I had to literally pull the dealers head to outfit the car the way I wanted it.. It too bad but Chevy dealers really don't care to sell these cars - they view them as disposables for the unwashed who can't buy 70,000 dollar Tahoes. I'll say it again - GM is making good product - their marketing dept just does not know what its doing.
