4-speed automatic AWD		 We purchased our Matrix NEW June of 2006, we now (21 Dec 2012) have 82,000 miles and I have monitored the mileage since we purchased the car. We get 24 in city driving and the VERY best we've got on a long freeway drive was 30mpg. Overall our mileage for the 80,000 miles is 27 which isn't great but is acceptable. see full Toyota Matrix review

2008 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4

2007 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 expected the famous corolla frugality and efficiency - it has the same powertrain. we were totally disappointed. below freezing point, fuel consumption was scary: 17-20 l/100km. the best mileage we got was only 10 l/100 km. see full Toyota Matrix review

4-speed automatic FWD		 Around town it's not great, but out on the open road mileage almost doubles. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2009 2dr Coupe turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 The fuel economy is very good considering the performance available. I typically get better than 25MPG with a fair bit of city driving and fairly heavy throttle. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2009 4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 In mixed driving I get 25 - 26 MPG, even with 75 mph stints and popping in and out of traffic. In pure highway, gets 28+ at 70+ see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2008 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.2L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Better than most North American cars. Lower carbon footprint. Cheaper to run. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007 2dr Coupe 173-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Under good highway driving conditions the Cobalt can go 700km on a single tank, but even in harsh conditions fuel economy is reasonable. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review

4-speed automatic FWD		 Most neighbors report 35 mpg on hyway. here we do mostly high spped highway. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007 2dr Coupe 173-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 I like that the 2.4L engine is able to put out significantly more power than the 2.2L and keep the same economy. The SS 2.4L is pretty quick and fun to drive and I still get 28 mpg on average just gunning around town with a lead foot and about 20% high see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4

4-speed automatic FWD		 34 MPG observed - and this from a roomy stylish car that cost me less that 15,000 see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4
