I'm looking forward to buying a Cobalt next year. Can't decide over the Coupe SS (not supercharged) or the Coupe LT. I've always driven Vans or S.U.V's. This would be my first car. I want (and have) to buy something more economic and the Cobalt looks just right. My only concern is winter driving. We get pretty big snowstorms here in Canada and I always wonder what's the Cobalt performance in snow, sleet and freezing rain?
Just a little question. How old are you? I'm 50 yrs old and people tell me that the Cobalt is for young people, especially the coupe model. They say at my age I should get a sedan. Where's the sport look in sedans?
By the way, with the back windows tinted and red. your Cobalt must be the nicest in town.
Take care.
Getting an 07 LT on Mon. Hope it doesn't fall apart.
Best $11k I ever spent on a car.
Bottom line is I've test drove 6 of them and waited until, hopefully, most of the bugs have been worked out.
Mine is a later build, 7/07 so maybe from here on out things will be pretty good. Can only hope!
Only has 200 miles on it but am having a blast with it. Makes me feel 20 years younger, don't know if that's a good thing yet. Might not be if the cops watch me too close.
One minor problem that I'm not going to worry about. The detent spring for the left side dash door, that hides the trunk release, fell out. Door still works OK so no biggie, probably will fix it myself when I feel like it.
Otherwise, glad I bought it. Had put it off for year and maybe that's a good thing since the first year or 2 of a new car & more so with the economy class usually has several bugs.
I hope you get to report back in a couple years to tell us how the Cobalt's been running for you! It's the longevitiy I'm mainly interested in reading about.
Maybe my next car will be a convertable!
My wife decided to try mine out for a few days. Right now it's parked in her stall. Hmmmmmmm should I be worried? Naw, Chevy makes em' every day.
Before I bought my Cobalt I had a '97 Ford Escort and while it wasn't the best car I had no major issues with it...dealing with an almost brand new car and having to replace things on it makes me really upset.
While the Cobalt has some great features that my old car didn't have I find myself almost dreading to drive it because of all the safety problems people have had and the issues I have already had to deal with. Should I trade it in or should I give it some time?
As for my 08 Cobalt I love the car , better than my 06. Seems like the ride is better, I never liked the Michelins that came on my 06. The Hankooks on my 08 ride much better. I put a set of Goodyear Assurance tires on my 04 Impala and love them, probably would put them on my Cobalt when the time comes for new rubber.
I was informed this weekend she was taking it every day.
Can't really blame her, can I?
An Astro/Safari van not to long ago got a bad reliability rating based solely on a seatbelt buzzer being less than 1-second too short in going off. Other than that the van was rated very good.
Todays car stereo's are so good that I don't see a reason to swap radios. My last four vehicles had Alpine stereo's, but no more. The standard Delco may be just fine because Delco's have always been the best stock radio on the market.
The Comfortreds are not a good fit for the Cobalt. The rubber is not stiff enough and control is poor.
The Michelins are much better however they tend to track in the rain grooves of the freeways in San Diego. Its very annoying but theres nothing I can do about it. The other thing I noticed about the Michelins was that there is a lot of excess rubber on the tire. I expected to see a little of it but some pieces are big enough to grab with my fingers. I found that a little odd.
I smell a troll.
I also felt you had a made up a story for whatever reason, and don't sound sincere. Why even bother coming over to this forum?
