2010 Chevrolet Cobalt Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by richlauder
Member3856
Price or payments
Cheapest new car I could find, cheaper than a brand new base model Hyundai Accent.
Dealer practices
The vehicles has needed FOUR warranty repairs in the past year (not so good), but in all instances the dealership replaced all the parts without any problem or arguments.
Handling
Pretty sharp considering it has electric power steering compared to other vehicles in its class.
Fuel economy
Around town it's not great, but out on the open road mileage almost doubles.
Safety & braking
All round airbags, half decent brakes and pretty good safety ratings.
Driving position & visibility
Rear visibility is pretty bad in the coupe, making it almost impossible to judge how far away something is when backing up.
Ride smoothness
Great on smooth roads, but gets *very* unsettled on uneven surfaces.
Materials & workmanship
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.
