2008 Chevrolet Cobalt LT2 Trim Overview

For a small car, the 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt LT2 offers a decent ride and responsive handling, and its 148-horsepower, 2.2-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine ably powers the front-wheel-drive vehicle. What's more, the engine has been designed for fuel efficiency, adding to the Cobalt's economy and affordability.

The Cobalt LT2 comes standard with such features as antilock brakes, power windows, and power door locks, and can be equipped with options such as leather seats, a power sunroof, and traction control, making it a fairly well-equipped subcompact. New features for 2008 include a tire-pressure monitoring system, side-curtain airbags, and XM satellite, adding to the Cobalt LT2's appeal.

Despite its size, the Cobalt LT2 offers plenty of interior space, according to drivers and reviewers, though legroom in the back seat is tight. The Cobalt LT2 is also said to be quiet, thanks to its tight build quality and lightweight aluminum engine, which has a rigid structure and counter-rotating balance shafts, reducing vibration and engine noise. Overall, the Cobalt LT2 offers good value for drivers on a tight budget.
