2005 chevrolet cobalt review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. This is chevrolet's attempt to offer the kind of equipment, power, value and price that competes directly against the honda civic, toyota corolla, and ford focus. chevrolet says the cobalt is the quietest, stiffest, strongest, most refined small car it has ever built, and after a test drive, we give them high marks on almost all counts. Cobalt features an expressive design and a dynamic driving experience. The base car comes with disc/drum brakes, and the others come with disc/disc brakes with abs. The sport package 595) includes a brushed metal trim package for the dashboard, white-faced gauges, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, rear spoiler and 16-inch alloy wheels with pirelli tires. safety features include dual-stage front air bags, front seatbelt pre-tensioners, rear center shoulder belts, and the latch child seat retention system. All but base models come with abs. Other safety features cost extra. Head curtain side air bags 395) designed to provide head protection are optional. And the opel astra in europe. But with its single-bar grille and bowtie emblem, it looks like a proper chevrolet small car right down to its shoes and socks. there are huge plastic bumper fascias on both ends of the car and the body panel fits are extremely tight. So tight, in fact, that there are no rubber trim gaskets around the compound complex headlamps. the coupe bears a stronger resemblance in its shape to the cavalier than the sedan, which has a new and more modern roofline sweep. The base, ls and lt coupe and sedan models have no spoiler as standard (it's optional), and the ss coupe version carries a huge, tall rear spoiler than certainly makes a design and intent statement. cobalt is heavier, longer, wider and lower than most of its direct competitors, its engine is the most powerful base engine in the class, and its interior dimensions and trunk capacity are close to the competition in every respect. After 10 years and 6 million cavaliers, chevrolet has learned a few lessons, and that's apparent in the size, shape and equipment of the cobalt. interiorinside the cobalt, the design theme is simple and straightforward, but far from the el cheapo appointments of the old cavalier. There's just enough chrome trim here and there on knobs and instruments to brighten things up without a lot of glare from the shiny parts. Instruments are large, well placed, and easy to read, with nice graphic treatment throughout. cobalt is unique in the subcompact class in that three completely different seats are offered in base, ls and lt, and ss versions, each with detail changes in foam, padding and trim. There was plenty of fore/aft and rake adjustment for a 6-foot, 4-inch driver, plus seat height adjustment with a ratcheting handle. It raises and stays in position by itself.) the trunk is wide and deep with a low liftover height, and almost 14 cubic feet of capacity, more than competitive in the class. In addition, there's a 60/40-split, fold-down rear seat with a trunk pass-through feature. driving impressionwe found the cobalt quite pleasant to drive, and almost eerily quiet for a car that costs well under $20,000. Chevrolet has put what feels like hundreds of dollars worth of special door seals, sandwich steel panels, thick carpets and pads, noise blockers and noise absorbers throughout the front, middle and rear of the car, and normal front-seat conversation is possible at speeds over 90 mph. the cobalt lt is not the address of driving excitement, however. We think it's a handsome, well-equipped car. The standard engine could offer more responsive low-end power, however. model lineupchevrolet cobalt coupe or sedan 13,625); ls 15,920); lt 18,195); ss 21,430). assembled inlordstown, ohio. options as testedcurtain air bags 395); onstar 695); xm satellite radio 325); rear spoiler 275), cigarette lighter 15). model testedchevrolet cobalt lt sedan 18,195).
