After 23 years, a replacement for the Cavalier. Update: now reviews both sedan and SS

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2004
The Bottom Line: A solid, attractively styled contender for the mainstream compact sedan buyer. Not much fun to drive, though.
Review: It has been nearly a quarter-century since Chevrolet introduced the Cavalier in the spring of 1981 as an early 1982 model. GM designed these cars to steal consumers back from the Japanese--hence the "J-Car" appellation. They did not. GM tweaked the...

Not bad but not the best in it;s price range.

Date of Review:  Jul 9, 2005
Review: I recently test drove a 2005 cobalt sedan, on the outside it is an attractive little car, a huge improvement over the dated cavalier, excellent fit and finish. However while sitting in the seats I felt as if I was sitting on them rather than in...

Disclaimer: The author love's Chevy's--Cobalts included

Date of Review:  Jul 12, 2005
Review: Between my wife and I we've owned a total of four of the predecessors to the Cobalt--an 87, 91, 93 RS Wagon and 2000 Cavalier. All were purchased new.

I drive my cars hard, put a lot of miles on them, and drive them places that would make...

Love my Cobalt

Date of Review:  Feb 25, 2007
The Bottom Line: I would buy this car again. Mine has a lot of factory extras, including really nice rims, sun roof, and sound system. I think these extras make the car great.
Review: I was trying to decide between the Cobalt and the new Scion Tc. After discussing my life plans with my husband, we felt we would possibly be having children within the period we are paying for the car, and decided a 2 door would not work if we had...

I love my new Cobalt

Date of Review:  Sep 1, 2005
Review: I got my new Cobalt about 2 months ago. After shopping and test driving for days and days, I got into the Cobalt and never looked back. I knew I wanted it red. I thought I wanted a sedan, but one look at the victory red coupe and it was love at...

Chevy Adjusts Its Cavalier Attitude Toward Compacts

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2005
The Bottom Line: Chevy has achieved parity with the current Civic and Corolla. But since those benchmarks are nearing the end of their production cycles, the Cobalt may not shine for long.
Review: My Experience

I've always had a weakness for small Chevys, since my first car was an '84 Cavalier wagon, and I've always liked the idea of buying another one someday. Until very recently, though, it seemed that Chevrolet had grown too fat...

A terrific compact car

Date of Review:  Jun 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: Definitely put this on the top of your list if you're in the market for a sporty coupe.
Review: Until recently, I drove a 2002 Honda Civic LX sedan. No problems with that car at all but it was time to give it to my sister and buy something else. I researched all of the many cars in the economy compact class and decided on the new Chevrolet...

Certainly Not a Cavalier....

Date of Review:  Jun 18, 2007
The Bottom Line: The best value and fun in it's class!
Review: I purchased my 2005 Cobalt Coupe just over two years ago now. I am a 20 yr old college student so this car is made pretty much directly for my segment. After driving the Civic and Corrolla before taking this one for a spin i was quite impressed with...

An economy gem.

Date of Review:  Nov 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: Enjoying this car even though I've been driving Suburbans and full-size pickups for the last 17 years.
Review: We have 3500 miles on our new Cobalt and are quite pleased. Checked first tankful and got 33.5 mpg on mostly highway miles, with occasional A/C use. While Toyota or Civic seem to get 5 mpg higher, the Cobalt was enough cheaper to equal the...

What a wonderful surprise!

Date of Review:  Jul 15, 2005
The Bottom Line: For the price, you'll be hard-pressed to find a sportier, smoother shifting, fun-to-drive car with the kind of fit and finish this one offers.
Review: My fiancee and I recently graduated from college, and were in need of an affordable, economical second car since we'd just started new jobs on opposite ends of town. We needed something that would get comparable gas mileage to the 2003 Ford Focus...
