What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Chevrolet Cobalt

Price of the Chevrolet Cobalt: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
2005 4dr Sedan 145-horsepower 2.2L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 low price
Price of the Chevrolet Cobalt: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

Price of the Kia Sorento: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Incentives are enticing 0% financing and very competitive lease options
2011 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 For the price, you get a very well made car
2011 4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Very competitive pricing compared to like size and equipped vehicles.
2011 4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 I bought pre owned and I couldn't find another brand SUV with the same features for the same price. Definitely a fan of the low price.
2008 4dr SUV turbocharged 168hp 2.5L I4 Diesel
5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 Our year old range topping Sorento XT auto cost £17000. The eqivalent VW, Audi, Land Rover etc start at £30000+ for the base models.
2007 4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.8L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 For a 4wd with pretty much every option and being a 07 left over paying $20K for it was a pretty sweet deal.
2005 4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 Best price for what you get on the market today. EX model 4x4 for 25K. No other manufacturer can match it.
2003 4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed automatic AWD w/low range		 Because of the relatively rapid depreciation, it is a great value as a used car.
Price of the Kia Sorento: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr SUV 191-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Not a terribly expensive vehicle, and a good value, but in comparison to the Dodge would be significantly more expensive to get anything close to the feature set the AVP Journey has
