The 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt LT2 Coupe has a lot going for it, according to drivers and reviewers. Overall ride quality and handling get good marks, as does the coupe's interior, which is comfortable and spacious for a subcompact. However, rear legroom can be tight for adult passengers, and access to the back seat can be tricky due to the coupe's long doors, some drivers note.

The Cobalt LT2 offers good acceleration, thanks to its lightweight, fuel-efficient 2.2-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine, which produces 148 horsepower. The engine links to a five-speed manual transmission, which comes standard, or an optional four-speed automatic.

New features such as a tire-pressure monitoring system, side-curtain airbags, and XM satellite radio have been added to the Cobalt LT2 Coupe's standard equipment list for 2008. Antilock brakes, power windows, power door locks, a remote keyless entry system, and air conditioning also come standard, while options include leather seats, a power sunroof, and traction control.
