| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Except for GM supplier pricing, no budging on price. Much more expensive compared to Escape |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Price with our desired features was higher than same features in Terrain. |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | No discounts available, since the car is very popular. |

| 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 |

| 2011 | 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Seems cheap - welds, seams, etc. |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
When shopping for a small SUV I took my time and spread it over 3 weeks...meaning I had time to really look at the vehicles I was considering. Having not owned a domestic in over 20 years, I was expecting the fit and finish to not be to import standards..I was wrong. The paint quality, panel gaps and general fit and finish were as good or better than some of the imports I cross shopped. Very surprised.. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Terrible craftsmanship. Cheapest materials that GM could get their hands on. Lots of rattles and squeaks. The engine makes alot of noise, very irritating. Seats are not that comfortable, especially on long road trips. Just a poorly built car. Period. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
When left outside during a rain storm, gallons of water will seep into the tire well. Had to have a profesionall glass company seel it, local mechanics wouldn't touch it. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Fit and finish poor in the interior. |
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 |
