Index of 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt Expert Reviews

• thecarconnection—STYLING:Even with SS styling now optional across the lineup, the 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt is in urgent need of a makeover—especially inside;PERFORMANCE :Base versions of the Cobalt aren’t at all pulse-raising, but the Cobalt SS brings a lot of performance for a low price;QUALITY :The 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt offers decent comfort levels for a small car but has a long way to go to bring a feeling of refinement and quality;SAFETY:The 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt offers decent crash-test ratings, but it lacks some standard safety equipment;FEATURES:The addition of Bluetooth and iPod capabilities brings the 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt into the 21st century.

• Edmunds.com—”Aside from the hot SS model, the 2009 Chevy Cobalt is behind the class leaders in terms of handling, seat comfort, build quality and overall refinement.Pros:Respectable fuel economy, smooth ride, quiet cabin, excellent performance in SS trim. Cons:Cramped backseat, lack of interior storage, dull handling (except for the SS), mediocre fit and finish.”
• cnet reviews—”The good: The engine in the 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt SS uses advanced tech to achieve excellent power and torque, while good suspension tuning helps the car handle the turns. A USB port on the stereo works with an iPod or a USB thumbdrive, and the Pioneer audio system delivers solid bass.The bad: This not-particularly-stylish car doesn’t have an in-cabin navigation system. Interior materials are appropriate for a car costing a few thousand dollars less. The bottom line: The 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt SS delivers an excellent sport-driving experience, but can work as an economy commuter when driven more carefully, with the added pleasure of full iPod connectivity.”

Buying Tips:

The Pontiac G5 has an almost identical mechanical layout to the Cobalt coupe, with a similar price, and you may like the G5’s styling better.
