| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 173-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The 6 way adjustable drivers seat really makes for a comfortable ride. Driving upwards of 700km a day for 4 days straight gave me a great chance to test this out, and I never once got stiff and sore. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |

| 2009 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Not alot of head room and the steering wheel does not telescope. I fit in it fine but someone tall might not. minor thing really. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |

Hard and thin seat cushions. Legs would feel fatigue after a couple hours of driving. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
In coupe form, the rear seats are cramped and and things can be somewhat claustrophobic in the back. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |

The rear seat leg-room is not for adults. Only small kids can fit back there. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
It is a sport compact car, so as one would expect, the rear seat is fairly difficult to get to, but once you are there, it is quite comfortable. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |

| 2009 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The 5 speed transmission is nicely suited to the power of the engine, car has good acceleration in any gear. Great accel when RPM over 2,500 and go to WOT. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
260 hp lots of power for the price. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The powertrain is wonderful. It is very smooth at idle once broken in, the performance is great. The shifter is quite smooth yet mechanical, and the power is addicting. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
0-60 in 5.5 sec although GM says 5.7 No lift shifting and launch control with competative mode. Limited slip diff as an option. Consistant power from just over 2k thru redline. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Its fast. Really fast. And the engine never feels like its straining. The turbo is definitely a welcome upgrade from the Supercharger. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
powerful on take off, passing and on hills. smoth shifting, no hunting for gears. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 173-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The 2.4L engine in the non-super SS is very peppy. The VVT makes this engine feel like it is making much more than 175 HP, expecially at high rpms. The power that it delivers in relation to its fuel economy is quite remarkable. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
It has decent performance. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The 2.2L Cobalt is very strong for such a small, N/A motor. The 2.4L is strong, but the 2.0L supercharged motor really shines. All of the motors are slightly underrated, with the 2.0L supercharged being highly underrated. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
