What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the Chevrolet Cobalt
| 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 |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 145-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | low price |
| Price of the Chevrolet Cobalt: Cons | ||
| 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 |

| Price of the Buick LaCrosse: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Low residual values make it expensive to lease. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD | A bit overpriced considering the differences between Impala and LaCrosse. |

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 |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 280-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Dash is worst fit to door edges ever seen. Area around Home Garage Remote buttons is poorly reinforced and flexes when a button is used. |
