| Price of the Chevrolet Cobalt: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 2dr Coupe 155-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | Cheapest new car I could find, cheaper than a brand new base model Hyundai Accent. |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD | This car is a bang for buck performance car. You will not find a better performer for the price. You can often get one out the door for not much more than 20k, and sometimes less... |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | Less fashionable and thus less expensive than its competitors. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | 0% interest, no down |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 145-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | low payment |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 155-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | While allowing for the difference between compact and sub-compact ratings, the Fiesta had an overall better pricepoint in the various trim levels than Cobalt. In all honesty Cobalt was a close second but the pricing is what broke the deal on getting on |

| 2013 | 4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD | There are good deals out there for leases. My total monthly cost (including down payment taxes & fees) is $290/month |
| Price of the Chevrolet Volt: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD | I'm an early adopter of the technology and I realized the additional cost of that role when I bought the car. But it's still an expensive ride & many can't/won't pay this price. |

What Our Members Are Saying about Chevrolet Cobalt Materials and Workmanship
| Materials and Workmanship of the Chevrolet Cobalt: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 2dr Coupe 155-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
4 trips back to the dealer for warranty repairs. Door seal, steering column, gear shifter, front suspension bushes. 1 year into owning/driving and various little rattles and vibration noises are appearing. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
There is a lot of obvoius cost-cutting in the interior materials and workmanship. It feels cheap, especially the shift knob and steering wheel. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 171-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
While I think the overall look of the interior is good the material used are too hard to the touch. Also the plastic that surrounds the window switch gear is easily scratched. Lastly the electric tape they use to wrap the rearview mirror wires is a joke |

GM over-developed this car, and it shows. In a way they had to, but that is no complaint from me. Everything is put together well with quality components from the interior to the engine bay. I would only bemoan the "black and decker" battery charging cord |
