2007 Chevrolet Cobalt Review: Unreliable Compact Car With Expensive Problems

Alex Showalter

May 10, 2022

The 2007 Cobalt only lasts around 150,000 miles with power steering and fuel system problems. At $3,546 – 5,736, it’s not worth the money for a car that breaks down a lot.

The Good

Performance is excellent, the steering is sporty, and the visibility is good.

The Bad

A lot of cheap plastic interior trim, backseats are cramped, and they lose value fast.

Is the 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt a Good Used Car?

No, 2007 is a bad year. Owner reviews complain about expensive mechanical problems, poor build quality, and broken interior parts.
Reliability ratings are below average. Avoid models from 2005-2007, and go with a 2008–2010 which are more reliable.
Performance is average from the base engine, but the most powerful 4-cylinder is very quick.
The Cobalt is a reasonably safe compact car, getting 4 out of 5 stars in government crash tests.
Fuel economy is average, at up to 25 MPG combined.

Positive Owner Reviews

Letta H

Cobalt ss Best compact car by general motors Classic Turbocharged.

The Cobalt ss received generally reviews, particularly the turbocharged version. It was called the best compact made by general motors, perhaps a classic. High praises for performance (mileage and steering), but was criticized for the interior quality and exterior styling.

Mary E

It is not a fancy car but it is dependable.

For a car I got used that came out in 2007, I think it is very reliable and functional! The only problem I notice a lot is that the heater and air conditioning take a while to work. The monitor on my dashboard that tells me my tires need air also will not reset. But other than that, the car gets pretty good mileage and the sound system is not bad (for a small car). For how old the car is, it gets up to speed fast.

Ebony M

Last long and little repairs are ever really needed if you take care of it!

This car was brand new when I bought it and I needed a second car do to the distance between home and work that did not work with my husbands. Over the years this car hardly broke down and has stood the test of time. Little things break here and there and as a woman I can fix most of them my own and the gas is good. I don't think I will ever trade this car it. I will stick with my car until it gives out on me.

Katie K

Does not break down on my while I am driving.

The car is very reliable. Gets me to school on time. Sometimes the car does not work. Love the car so much.

Dora G

The most important thing is that it helps out a family of six a whole lot

It's a gas saver. It's not expensive to maintain and has the space i need

dawn o

It is a very reliable car. I have had this car for more than 10 years and have had very few problems with it.

I have a white cobalt. It is an automatic and very easy to drive. I have had this car for over 10 years and have had very few problems with it, which is why I rated it with 5 stars.

Marisol S

The car is in good condition and the most important is that the motor is still okay.

It is still in good condition to drive. It is easy to drive. It is very light.

Kim J

My cobalt is a 2 door. It does not have the spoiler or Cruise control.

I have not had any problems with my car. My car is pretty comfortable I only wish I would have gotten a 4 door and one that had Cruze control. The cars performance is really good. It has always had a lot of power for a 4 cylinder. I wish the air would blow harder but other than that I am completely satisfied with it.

Negative Owner Reviews

Courtney F

Its old and gets me from point A to point B. I inherited it from my dad!!

Mechanical issues with it. Hazards blink all the time and no horn. I have missing hub cap.

Jasmine M

It is so ugly high school kid with min wage job.

When I first got this car it was okay, then the ac started messing up, it was a loose wire I was able to fix now it is really not working and now I have battery issues if it wasn't for this portable battery start j do not know what I would do, oh and my radio stopped working, this car drives me crazy considering it is pretty old I guess it is time for a new one but all these issues can get pretty annoying.

2007 Chevy Cobalt Problems

I dislike the Chevy cobalt because a few days after I drove it off the parking lot, the motor broke down. I had to pay a $500 deductible to get it all fixed. A few months after that I had to replace the brakes. There was a recall on it for the gas tank leak. Had to get that replaced. There was another recall for the ignition switch. This car has way too many problems.

Lynn E

Cheaply made interior and recall issues

I had to replace the whole exhaust line due to manufacturing issues and the replacement parts broke within 2 years. Interior is cheaply made and certain plastic parts have broken for no reason. The miles per gallon for the car is very low, usually 20 for city and 25 for highway.

Patricia S

Cheaply Made box with wheels

The body rusted out very fast. But I do live in upstate NY. It's a sound car but it makes noise and it's just not a luxury drive it's cheap ugly and Im embarrassed driving such a cheaply made car. I've always bought Chevy vehicles but this one was a mistake! Glad they don't make them anymore.

Stephanie R

It is a great car for a signal family.

I just really want to upgrade my vehicle I love my car want something newer maybe if it was new great performance drives good dependable ??.

McKenzie L

It made it to 160k miles before any serious repairs were needed.

I previously owned a 1999 car with automatic everything and 4 doors. My cobalt has 2 doors. The locks and windows are manual so I need to reach over to unlock the passenger door and cannot conveniently roll down my passenger window when I'm alone.

Amy D

Has gotten my through 10 years but now hesitates and dies and they cannot figure out why.

The car randomly dies while driving along the highway. I have had it in the shop many times and they cannot find anything wrong with it. No frills, manual windows, etc. There have been many recalls and factory issues with this car.

What Do Critics Say About the Cobalt?

Consumer Reports says the Cobalt feels very cramped and has below average owner satisfaction.
Edmunds gives the Cobalt a 4.2/5 liking the quiet cabin, but disliking the lack of storage space.
Kelley Blue Book users rate the Cobalt 4.1/5 and enjoy the nice seats, and don’t like the loud exhaust.

What Common Problems Does the 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt Have?

Problems with the 2007 Cobalt are fairly serious including power steering failures, worn-out fuel pumps, and stalling engines.

Power steering system failures are a widespread problem at around 65,000 miles. The power steering motor fails and the only solution is to replace it costing around $800.

Fuel system issues show up on many Cobalt models at around 100,000 miles. The fuel pump, tank, and fuel neck are all prone to cracking which can lead to leaks. Replacing the parts as they wear out costs around $1,200.

Stalling engines are another common complaint at around 75,000 miles. The main engine computer, called the power control module, fails easily and replacing it costs roughly $900.

There are 6 fairly serious recalls including fuel leaks which increase the risk of a fire, and the key can be removed while the car is on resulting in it rolling away.

How Long Will the 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt Last?

A properly maintained 2007 Cobalt should last around 150,000 miles, half as long as top competitors like the Toyota Corolla. Regular annual maintenance costs are similar to rivals at $315 per year, according to Repair Pal.

Most 2007 Cobalt models will have over 100,000 miles, so buyers should be prepared to replace timing chain and gears for $1,000, A/C evaporators costing $1,200, and the steering knuckle which costs $600.

Heather H

Yes. No issues that I have found. I have taken it a lot of places with no problems. Enjoy driving it. Maintenance is minimum.

Alicia B

My 2007 Chevy cobalt is very reliable and I have owned it for 6 years I do not have any problems whatsoever with it.

Gina T

It is very reliable as it gets me where I need to be with no problems. I can get from place to place fairly well as this car works nicely and is a good starter car.

Curt M

Yes, I have never had any engine problems except for an issue with the gas tank, etc., but it was a recall issue and Chevrolet took great care of it. There are no current problems.

Jessica C

It is very reliable to me. It has had a couple of problems with the transmission, but nothing I wouldn't fix. Also the battery had to be replaced 4 times since I have bought the car.

Kelly M

Yes reliable. Has issues with gas pedal sticking. But I cannot think of many other problems. Maybe how the sway bar comes loose more than it should

Gabby J

Like any other car the 2007 cobalt starts to wear out with time but no real problems with the motor. Is a verte reliable car.

Brandy F

My cruise control went out, the heater fan doesn't work. Other than that it has been very reliable. I have had it for 5 years and never had any other problems.

How Much Is the 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt Worth?

Blue book values range from $3,546 – 5,736, making the Cobalt about $1,500 cheaper than a Honda Civic or Mazda3. When new, the price range was $13,175 to $20,975. Depreciation is worse than average, losing about 15% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Cobalt?

There are five different models of the 2007 Cobalt available. Technology was last updated for the 2007 model year, and then the Cobalt was replaced with the Chevy Cruze after 2010.

LS is the entry-level model with:

15-Inch Steel Wheels

What Engines Come In the Cobalt?

The base engine is a fairly weak 2.2L 4-cylinder with 148 horsepower, which gets up to 25 MPG combined.
An available upgrade for the SS model is the more powerful 2.4L 4-cylinder making 173 horsepower, which also gets up to 25 MPG.
Found on the SS Supercharged model is the most powerful 2.0L supercharged 4-cylinder which has 205 horsepower and gets up to 23 MPG combined. Performance is good, taking 6.6 seconds to go from 0-60 MPH.

What Colors Does the Cobalt Come In?

How Big Is the Cobalt?

The 2007 Chevy Cobalt is an average sized compact car like the Nissan Sentra or Ford Focus. It is available as either a 2-door coupe or 4-door sedan. Passenger room is limited in both models and does not have enough legroom in the backseats for adults.

Cargo space is good for a compact car with 13.9 cubic feet of room in the trunk which will hold 2-3 full size suitcases.

How Does the Cobalt Compare to the Competition?

The Chevy Malibu is a larger competitor costing about $1,200 more. Where the Malibu stands out is with better passenger space, but the Cobalt is sportier to drive. We recommend neither, since they both have the same expensive steering system problems.

The Toyota Corolla is another rival that costs roughly $1,500 more. Reliability ratings are much better on the Corolla, but the driving experience is more exciting on the Cobalt. We recommend the Corolla since they last longer and don’t have as many mechanical issues.

Do Owners Recommend the Chevy Cobalt?

Heather H

Yes. Good on gas mileage and low on maintenance. Only had one small issue it came with (used). Somehow the line to the transmission was kinked and it wasn't getting fluid all the time so it shifted hard. Took mechanic a while to figure out the problem but has been great ever since.

Alicia B

Yes, my Chevy cobalt is a very good car. I purchased it used and it has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.

Gina T

Yes, it rides very well and is a nice car for getting from point a to point b. The gas tank is good as well, it does not use as much gas as other vehicles in my household, and it does not take a lot of money to fill up. The heating and cooling system works great as well.

Curt M

Yes because of the durability of the body and frame and I have had no engine problems. The interior is very strong, there are no ripped or tattered seats.

Robert B

Yes, I have driven across the country from Washington to Florida in this beautiful car. Does great on gas and mileage. I would recommend this car to anyone of my friends.

Michelle P

Yes, has a few issues with the way the car was made. However it is good on gas, and is reliable. Can get you anywhere you need to go

barbie W

Great car... Is rarely at the shop and the gas mileage Is excellent. The cobalt has a great space for passengers. The driving Is very smooth.

Jasmine R

Yes it is very dependable. It is an attractive car both inside and out. It travels long distances well and is very economical to drive.

Take an easy

People are too hard on these cobalts, they are fricken great cars. Mine has 422k and I’ve only had to replace my transmission and other basic maintenance (automatic).Now these cars even from new were NOT luxury cars, they were made in a time where GM was in a rough spot so obviously some things are gonna get screwy. GM has always had electrical issues, especially in the 90’s.it’s also nothing new that they decided to use the 4t65, arguably one of the worst transmissions ever made.Cobalts were made to be affordable, not feel 110% ok all the time. When you look past basic maintence and the odd motor or tranny blowing, are they really that bad of cars? I can name a few that are way more garbage than this….

Melony Harper ~Lawton, Oklahoma on April 16, 2023

I LOVE HER.MY GOLDIE

I've had mine for 3 years and Ol Goldie is still going fine at 210,280 miles on her. She's what 16 years old. Haven't had to do anything but change the battery every 3 to 4 years. No leaks.no steering problems. She's been through heck but Goldie is a warrior and has been a blessing

I have an 07 Chevy Cobalt it's got 220,000 miles on it has great AC motor runs great had to replace the rack and pinion 3 months ago that's all that's wrong with it it does have a lot of rust underneath but it's been a great car

Chevy cobalt on September 27, 2021

I bought my 2007 Chevy Cobalt used. 1 owner. 3 years ago. Fromthe beginning of week 2, front end rattles, once the weather got warm and I got it up to 55 MPH the car started shaking out of control. $1,700. Later. Now my car wont start and key got stuck in the ignition. Time to buy a new vehicle. Not gonna nicole and dime it. I'm done with Chevy

Barbara B on April 2, 2021

It is durable, it has gotten many of the family members through rough times and it continues to get us through

Well I do love it and it has been in the family for a while , but at the moment the a/c and radio do not work.

Kayla B on April 2, 2021

Chevy cobalt: comfy car with little problems

Very few problems. Just one major problem recently where the timing belt on my engine broke and bent the valves so I need to replace the motor but in all 4 years of owning this car, it is the only major problem to come up. As far as comfort goes, the inside of the car is decent size and the seats are comfortable. Sometimes leg room can be tight for backseat drivers. The trunk is huge and can fit a lot of stuff.

Dawn D on April 1, 2021

This vehicle is proven to be reliable. The fan blower no longer blows air.

2007 Chevrolet yellow cobalt for sale. A reliable vehicle that will get you from point A to B. The car rides and drives well. The car doesn't have a. C. Or heat due to the fan going out. I have yet to have it replaced.

Erin A on March 29, 2021

My little Chevy Cobalt gets really great gas mileage!

I like that it's great on gas mileage and it's kind of fun to drive. I hate it because I miss my 8 passenger SUV. We're just in a place where we can't afford another suv right now.

Teri L on March 26, 2021

She's very reliable, with minimum maintenance. Gets me where I need to go and back.

It was a hand me down. She gets me where I want to be, and I think she's reliable, but she's a plain, stained, nothing special car.

Susanne D on March 21, 2021

Chevy Cobalt has given me nothing but a headache from hell.

Truthfully, I bought the car with high mileage at a reasonable price from a wholesale. The check engine light has been on since I bought it and was told it would go off after driving a certain amount of miles. Well after driving well over the mileage told it has not gone off. Light was scanned and codes just continue to pop up. A year into having the car my front lower control arms were so bad it was incredibly unsafe to drive. With it being a 12 year old car with 200,000 miles on it and all the problems I have personally had since getting the car. I am extremely unsatisfied with the vehicle: That is just my opinion. I work in the car industry currently and hear people complain about owning certain Chevys but my first car was an 03 cavalier with low mileage (29,000 miles in the year 2013) and I was extremely satisfied with it. But as for a cobalt, would not recommend.

Tyler W on March 21, 2021

Good gas economy and not ally of problems for the drive.

Great gas economy and reliable to drive. We have had the car for years and it still runs like it's only a couple years old.

Sarah C on March 21, 2021

It's a reliable car, it runs well. The car will get you from point a to point b.

This is a very small and lightweight vehicle. It is great for parking, but it's not good in rain or snow. There is not much trunk or passenger space. This car is not ideal for taller people.

Sara H on March 19, 2021

It's great on gas and is reliable. It also fits a lot in it.

I love that it's good on gas and that it's a reliable vehicle. I hate that it requires so much work to be done so often.

Sarah R on March 18, 2021

My old reliable: riding the white stallion with style.

I do not like the upholstery, it stains very easily. When I purchased the car, used, the upholstery was somewhat clean after the company had shampooed and cleaned the car. I found that even spilling water on the seats left horrible looking stains that were generally tough to remove. I had to purchase seat covers to provide more protection from future stains and to cover the existing stains. Overall, the car has been very reliable and inexpensive to maintain.

Hunter H on March 11, 2021

Cheap and amazing everyday vehicle

It's been a pretty good car for the few months i've had it. Great gas mileage and handling. No problems so far.

Marie K on March 9, 2021

Decent gas mileage when oil is changed regularly.

I would like the car to be a bit bigger. It feels very small driving next to trucks and semi trucks.

Deborah D on March 7, 2021

2007 Chevrolet cobalt is great for gas mileage.

There are no problems with my car. It gets really good gas mileage. It is a base model that I bought for commuting, and it is no frills. Not even power windows.

Lauren S on March 6, 2021

A little car so if you do not need much space it is perfect especially in traffic.

As it is gotten older there are increasing issues with it and they come about more frequently than ever. It was a really good car for a long time, and I still enjoy it, it is just getting a little too expensive to keep up. I will be keeping it for a minimum of six months though.

Pete L on March 6, 2021

An efficient vehicle, with potential.

A very efficient and overall perfect vehicle for driving to work, driving passengers around, or simply going for a ride. I would recommend this car to someone who is looking for a functional and low management vehicle. I'd also recommend pricing out gas mileage as it is below average.

hope T on March 4, 2021

Rough cobalt that runs fairly good

It has few dents and cracks in the front bumper and a new version engine so it takes a minute to start up. And the tires are constantly going flat. Even new. Overall it's a good car. The radio fuse is blown and taken apart. Sometimes has a tick depending on the speed I go.

Stacy L on February 25, 2021

It will definitely get you from point A to point B. It is gas efficient.

My car is very reliable and runs extremely well. It is a little outdated, and there is wear and tear on the outside due to weather. Overall, the car is reliable and runs well.

Christy D on February 25, 2021

It is a very safe and reliable vehicle.

Seems reliable, easy to fix most things. Decent gas mileage. Complaint is computer glitches. Check engine light issues..

Ashley M on February 16, 2021

Ignition recall, misses when raining due to water getting into cold air intake.

Recall on ignition switch, poor cold air intake setup in the rain. Otherwise a fast sporty car. Handles well.

Debbie G on February 15, 2021

It gets great gas mileage

I love my car and I personally haven't had a problem with it. But I just worry because it has had a lot of recalls on it

Ben C on February 13, 2021

Decent all round car, but, has mechanical issues at 180 thousand miles.

The vehicle runs really well, the only main issue with this vehicle is that at 180,000 or so miles the engine tens to die. But, I am very luck and have not had that issue. Also, due to the vehicle being very low to the ground it is difficult to get in and out of as a big dude, hard to get under and tends to rust very quickly.

cassandra c on February 12, 2021

It has had a few recalls which has been a pain. It does get good gas mileage though. Also it has really held up considering it is 11 years old.

It's built pretty solidly and it was a good purchase for a used car.

James W on February 10, 2021

Cobalt is reliable and dependable car for anyone

Problem with check engine light. Need breaks, but overall my car is reliable and a good car. It is good on gas and performance is good for that model and features are standard. As for repairs goes, it needs just your basic/standard repairs. This kind of car is very reliable and dependable for me.

Nita P on February 9, 2021

Runs great! Takes me to and from work I also drive long distances.

Needs new tires,(all 4) runs good, some electrical issues not sure exactly what it is but every time you open the door the alarm goes off and you have to start the ignition for it to stop. The locks unlock and lock by themselves while your driving and even when your not driving.

Hector G on February 7, 2021

It was a good family model at that time.

I like his economic engine. I like that I do not have problems with it. I do not like his lights over time they get blurry.

Shawn H on February 5, 2021

It is very simple and does not have many features. It doesn't have door locks or cruise control

It has good gas mileage. I wish the car was Awd for the winters. Sometimes it can be difficult to get things to fit in the trunk

Amanda B on January 31, 2021

My car is a reliable cute small happy car.

I have a love/ hate relationship with car. It is reliable and it has been a wonderful car to drive when I was a teenage. My biggest problem with my car is that I have continual wiring issues. This has happened with some dashboard lights as well as my speakers. That has been a very minimal issue though.

Kris R on January 31, 2021

It is a great car to drive and depend on.

I really like the size and handling of my car. It has been reliable overall in the 8 years I have owned it. It is easy to park and drive. I wish that it did have more technology, such as a backup camera.

Kristen K on January 27, 2021

It is a durable, comfortable, and efficient vehicle.

The car is wonderful! There is a lot of space both inside the car and in the trunk. The seats are comfortable and the backseat is spacious. I get good gas mileage and it is durable in all weather. The heat & cooling works smoothly and the sound system is crystal clear. It has a aux input and multiple spots you can charge your devices.

Madison U on January 25, 2021

Chevy Cobalt is a good car

Overall, the Chevy Cobalt is a great car. The only problem I've had was the fuel pump going out but that is common with most cars. The air intake is a little loud so it does occasionally sound like an SS but I don't see that as a bad thing. Very quick and reliable car, gets good gas mileage, nothing to terrible has happened.

Troy M on January 23, 2021

Needs to be easier to get and out of backseat, had the transmission replaced, but overall it's a dependable vehicle.

It gets very good gas mileage, and rides very comfortably on the road.

Samantha S on January 23, 2021

It runs really good and is amazing on gas mileage.

We purchased the vehicle used from a family member, it is a 2 door coupe and we are a family of 4 with intentions of growing our family. I love the style of the car however for our family, which includes a 2 year old, it is to small.

Taylor O on January 22, 2021

This vehicle is one I definitely will be keeping around for a long while.

My cobalt is a life saver! It is very reliable and I would totally get another one in a newer year! It rides super smooth and isn't super expensive if you have to replace parts! The seats are super welcoming and are good for long rides like road trips.

Melanie J on January 19, 2021

My 2007 Chevrolet cobalt is a reliable car to drive and maintain.

My 2007 Chevrolet cobalt is a really reliable car and it is easy to drive and maintain. I hardly ever have to take it to a mechanic for repairs and I only have to replace the tires and have the oil changed once a year. There is not a lot of fancy features that rely on the use of smartphones or cameras. The features that are a part of the car are basic and easy to use. This car gets good gas mileage and I can rely on it to get me where I need to go.

Suzanne W on January 10, 2021

I want people to know that this car is a piece of junk and they should not buy one. I have had one problem after another with it.

I dislike my chevy cobalt. The electric system is bad and the "chrome" on the inside handles is peeling off. My car is a piece of junk.

Xiomara C on January 7, 2021

Two door car Great gas mileage Small compact

I like that it has not gave me any major problems since I had it. I do like the gas Mileage on the car. I can fill the car with little cash.

Janet F on January 5, 2021

It gets good gas mileage. It averages 30 mph.

I love the size of this car. I bought it used. I have had no major issues with it. I had to replace the brakes a couple of years ago. The upholstery is very stained especially on the front seats.

Kenzi R on January 3, 2021

It's still on the road with 150,000 miles, it is very impressive

It's a great car however it is getting old. It has held up well over the years. Its a solid car. Would buy again.

Sarah M on December 31, 2020

Great in gas. Excellent car for family of 4 or less.

Car is Reliable. I have not had any issues out of it. Car is extremely affordable to drive and cheap on gas. Small but compact great for a family of 4. Would suggest a bigger car for anymore than 4 people though. Maintenance is affordable. Husband found oil changes to be difficult.

Maryanne S on December 30, 2020

It has been a reliable car for the amount of maintenance required.

The ride in is very smooth. It is also good on gas. The interior is nice although it could use more interior lighting.

Stephanie A on December 29, 2020

Easy to reach up high velocities and quick breaking time.

This car is fantastic in performance and reliability. The startup runs smoothly, and it does not take long to turn it on. Easy handling, saves on gas consumption. The only problem with my car is the air conditioner does not work anymore.

Maddie C on December 20, 2020

It is good on gas. It does not have a lot of storage.

It is a small car. It is a blue car. It is very good on gas.

Leo R on December 20, 2020

A long as you do basic maintenance it will run good enough.

The 2007 Chevy cobalt is a very average car and will run as good as the amount of time you put into keeping it maintained like any other car. Personally, after having this car for a few years after buying it used from a dealership, the most common problems have to do with Its cooling systems such as the ac, heater, coolant, thermometer, and anything else that has to do with that. Over the past few years I have had to spend upwards of a few thousand dollars to fix problems like that and It's getting expensive to keep up.

Christopher H on December 18, 2020

What type of car for the average American citizen

I wish the seats were bucket seats, and wish the radio was more surround sound and had to screens built in back seats, I love the sunroof,and vehicle gets good gas to the mile, the trunk has a lot of space and so does the back seats. Wish there was Wi-Fi in the vehicle, and insurance is also cheap for family vehicle.

Chelsea A on December 12, 2020

Red Chevrolet cobalt beauty

I bought my car from a trade in and it has been a good running car. It was used when I purchased it, so of course it was not perfect. The seats are comfortable and it does have central heat and air. It does have cruise control and a sunroof for when you would rather ride with the windows down during the summer.

Melissa S on December 12, 2020

Pros and cons of the 2007 Chevy cobalt

Very small for a family. But other than that love the car. Have had a few issues with the fuel system but so far it's the only issues I have had from this issue. Very nice dependable car and gets me to a to b where I need to go. Wish there were manual windows and slcres control but for the year can't beat it.

The car and how great it is

It's a cute little car for a little family. With a big truck holds a lot of groceries if you do a big grocery trip. It very reliable to get to one distances to another. My check engine light and will not go off it jumps from time to time but it still runs great

It gets me to where I'm going and that's all I care about. I don't care if a car is fancy or looks nice. It needs to be reliable.

I like that my vehicle runs well and hasn't given me much trouble over the years. My only complaint is the air conditioner stopped working and I don't have the money to fix it.

That it's just a very unremarkable common sense car.

It's a very economical car. It is easy to drive. Repair bills are fair.
