The 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt has received excellent reviews overall, with the only complaints centering on the size-type problems: the engine, passenger area, and cargo room are also cited as lacking in space. Otherwise, consumers have been near-ecstatic in their words about this car. The fuel economy is excellent, it's peppy, and it has a lot of standard features that one would not expect from a car in this price range.

Of course, the price range is strangely variable. Depending on options and trims, the price can range from just under $13,000 to well over $20,000 depending on engine, trim (the SS is very popular), and features.

All in all, until gas sinks back under $3.00 a gallon-I mean if it ever does-anyway, this is a perfect car for the 2000s.

What drew me to this car was the sharp look and great red color. The gas mileage is wonderful and the car is really fun to drive. It handles very well and I always felt like the car was solid and safe to drive. The car has only needed general maintenance and has been very economical to own. I did have both recalls taken care of and haven't had any issues with the car at all. Would recommend this car to a relative or friend.Jan 20, 2015

People notice when you are driving the Cobalt 2 Door Coupe. It has the look and feel of a sports car without the price of a sports car. It is fun to drive, and it gets awesome gas mileage. The interior is pretty quiet, and the seats are comfortable. The car performs pretty well for a four cylinder.Jul 08, 2013
