Antilock braking is optional on the LS and LT and standard on the SS. Most Cobalts have a front-disc/rear-drum brake setup SS models have performance-tuned four-wheel disc brakes. All are better-looking, more fun to drive and offer a noticeable step up in terms of interior comfort and quality.įull-length side curtain airbags are standard on all Cobalts. Overall, as big as the sales numbers happen to be (which are certainly padded via sales to rental fleets), the Cobalt LS and LT are simply adequate transportation and are not up to par when compared to cars like the Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Mazda 3 and Mitsubishi Lancer. In fact, the SS is the best car in the Cobalt lineup.
Seat comfort is another area where the 2009 Chevy Cobalt generally falls short, although the SS model's sport seats are first-rate. Those cars also have nicer interiors and higher-quality materials throughout. However, competitors like the Honda Civic and Mazda 3 offer similar fuel economy wrapped in a more attractive package.
USED CHEVY COBALT SS FOR SALE MANUAL
Buyers looking for a quiet commuter car that gets decent fuel economy will want to opt for the XFE package that combines a modified engine computer, manual transmission and low-rolling-resistance tires in an effort to squeeze a few more mpg out of the Cobalt's 2.2-liter engine. Standard OnStar and an available USB port and Bluetooth further enhance the 2009 Cobalt's appeal. It also has strong performance potential via the turbocharged SS model, which comes equipped with an impressive 260-horsepower engine. And with roughly 40 compact cars to choose from for 2009, that means the Cobalt is quite popular, even if names like Civic and Corolla seem to grab more headlines.Īffordability is easily the Cobalt's strongest selling point, as the base model is priced just over $14,000 - again directly in line with other popular compacts. Believe it or not, but the Chevrolet Cobalt is one of the top five best-selling compact cars month to month and occasionally outsells the Ford Focus, one of its main competitors.
