Alex Showalter

May 20, 2022

It doesn't have power locks or windows.

The ac doesn't blow well because it's a smaller vehicle. However, it's very reliable considering the car is 11 years old now with 160,000 miles...*knock on wood*. I do have the basic model though so no power windows or automatic locks which is a downside. I have owned my car since the fall of 2013 and when I purchase a newer vehicle, I plan on buying another Chevy.

Christen S

It's zippy and quick. Drives smooth as butter, and gets you where you need to go, as well as any car should.

The vehicle is lovely, but has a few flaws that make using it a bit of a hassle. My front stereo short circuits and tends to kick in at random times.

Georgia B

The get up and go is amazing and it gets great gas mileage!

It's very good on gas it has great get up and go. I wish it was a little bit bigger at times but I can fit two adults and three children. It has totally awesome ac and the maintenance has been very easy on the pocketbook. I did not purchase it with bells and whistles so its as simple as it gets i.e. There are no automatic windows or locks etc. But I love my car.

Derrick s

Good Gas Mileage, Compact

I like my vehicle. It is used to travel to work and back. I work an hour away from my home so my car is good for me cause it gets pretty good gas mileage. I like that it is compact and easy to drive.

Carrie K

Good reliable car, cheap maintenance.

Super reliable car! Gets really good gas mileage on the road and the highway. I haven't had any major problems and routine maintenance is fairly cheap on this vehicle. I don't have a lot of frills, but I do have cruise control and a nice radio system. The seats are really comfortable and the back seat is fairly roomy.

Ginger R

It is a four door good on gas five sets.

It is really good on gas and very reliable has not broken down on me only had to do maintenance on wear and tare only ever had to o fix the tire and oil changes and there is a recall on the ignition switch and tires has been replaced multiple times.

Hope W

The Pros of owning a Chevrolet Cobalt.

My Chevrolet Cobalt gets great gas mileage. It's not to big but not too small and has a lot of comfortable room inside as it seats 5 people comfortably. With drink holders for all of the passengers. The seats are comfortable with movable headrests. All power with automatic headlights.

Laura C

Awesome car. Would purchase again if I had the chance.

The only issues I have had is factory recalls and they have all been taken care of. I love my care have owned it for 6 years. I purchased it used and it was in good shape and still is. I take very good care of my car and followed all needed maintenance required by the purchase and have owned my care since 2016.

Negative Owner Reviews

Dee S

Not good for winter states

The car is affordable but it is sometimes cramped being an older car doesn't hold up on roads that are not smooth. Has broken down a lot after 100k miles but needs little maintenance besides some ding repairs, tires, oil changes etc. Not good for states that have bad winters.

Amanda J

The battery is in the trunk.

It never seems to stop having little issues but it does get pretty good gas mileage. It was also in my price range which was a benefit for me.

Alejandra H

Cobalt Chevy 2008 one star: overall in my opinion this car not enough room.

Not enough room to store your bag or belongings. Issues with my car keys getting stuck. My car sits to low so the carpet it gets wet easily. Do not like the leather not the best quality. It takes 25. 00 for gas to get filled up but it burns gas quick.

Greg M

Chevy Cobalt has internal issues and manufacturer errors.

Ignition switch recall, low gas mileage, small tank, very slippery on the road in the winter. The wheel locks up sometimes, had an issue with the computer connections that caused my car to be undriveable for a short time. Outside of these issues, the car has been fine.

Nicole V

Reliable, economical car; not glamorous.

Performance wise, the car is fine. In terms of quality, however, the vehicle is falling apart a little. The door panels are starting to literally fall off from just the opening and closing of the door, the speakers on the car go in and out intermittently, and the seat belt light seems to be on no matter what. All in all these are pretty minor though, as the car is rather old. Otherwise it has held up very well, and I have never had any mechanical issues.

Jenny M

Pros and cons of the 08 Chevy cobalt.

The backseat is not very comfortable as it is very small. The positives are the hvac and mileage. The ac and heating systems are good. Also, it gets good gas mileage. However, I have had several issues with reliability with this car. It is broken down several times and I have needed expensive repairs.

Olivia S

My vehicle drives smoothly.

It runs good but fuel pump goes from time to time. AC works great. Brakes work great. Steering wheel locks up rarely. Radio obviously works great. Drives pretty smoothly. You can see clearly out of all windows. Good on gas doesn't take over 30 dollars to fill up the whole tank.

cyn n

That it is my car. My cars tend to be on the messy side.

I do not like the seats in the Cobalt, they are very uncomfortable. They will make your back hurt if you have to do a lot of driving in it.

What Do Critics Say About the Cobalt?

Consumer Reports says the 2008 Cobalt is improved, and has average owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds gives the Cobalt a 4.2/5 liking the steering feel, but disliking the cheap interior.
Kelley Blue Book users rate the Cobalt 4.1/5 and enjoy the responsive engine, but don’t like the ignition problems.

What Common Problems Does the 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt Have?

Problems with the 2008 Cobalt include keys getting stuck in the ignition, erratic gauge behavior, and some suspension issues.

Keys getting stuck in the ignition are the most common complaint at around 50,000 miles. Replacing the ignition cylinder solves the problem, costing around $500.

Erratic gauge behavior with the speedometer and other gauges on the dash is also reported by owners at around 70,000 miles. Replacing the fuse for the control module fixes the issue for many users, and others have found loose wires. Repairing the issues costs around $200 at a shop.

Suspension problems, including front lower control arm bushings failures, show up on cars at around 30,000 miles. Replacing the bushing costs about $400 depending on local labor rates.

There are 5 fairly serious recalls including cracked fuel pumps which can cause a fire, and electric power steering failures increasing the risk of an accident.

How Long Will the 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt Last?

A properly maintained 2008 Chevy Cobalt should be able to last around 250,000 miles, about 50,000 miles less than a top rated competitor like the Toyota Corolla. Regular annual maintenance costs are slightly higher than rivals, at $394 per year, according to Repair Pal.

Most 2008 Cobalts will have over 100,000 miles, so buyers should be prepared to replace brake boosters for $450, radiator hoses costing $350, and the timing chain tensioner which is $750.

Emma B

It is reliable. If not taken care of it could have problems. It has an odd battery placement which is in its trunk.

M N

Well, it sometimes has electrical problems like the dashboard says I have to check gas cap or the needles go up and down out of sudden but I took it to mechanic and they said that it is just malfunction of electrical system. So I guess it has a problem but never caused me any serious one.

Janessa M

Yes, the Chevrolet cobalt is a very reliable vehicle. To date, we have not experienced any issue with the cobalt.

Kristina J

My car was used when I got it. I've had to replace a battery and tires. Other than that the only strange thing is I have to replace brake lights a lot. It seems like I've had to replace the back brake lights every year since I've had the car.

morgan B

It is a reliable vehicle, starts up strongly. I have had a few issues with it overheating in the summer.

Megan A

It is very reliable. No major problems at all with my car. Brakes last a long time. Good with tires.

Morgan E

I haven't had any except for the tires. Otherwise it is great and works great all the time even though it is a little old.

K F

Reliable when no issues are present. It has electrical and sensor systems issue that I couldn't fix.

How Much Is the 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt Worth?

Blue book values range from $3,121 – 3,966, making the Cobalt about $1,500 cheaper than a Honda Civic or Mazda3. When new, the price range was $14,410 to $19,965. Depreciation is worse than average, losing around 15% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Cobalt?

What Engines Come In the Cobalt?

The base engine is an average 2.2L-4-cylinder with 148 horsepower, which gets up to 29 MPG combined.
A step up is the more powerful 2.4L 4-cylinder which has 171 horsepower and gets up to 26 MPG combined.
Found in the SS model is the powerful 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, which makes 260 horsepower and gets up to 25 MPG combined. Performance is great, taking 5.5 seconds to go 0-60 MPH.

What Colors Does the Cobalt Come In?

How Big Is the Cobalt?

The 2008 Cobalt is an average size compact car available as a coupe and sedan similar to the Honda Civic and Hyundai Elantra. Passenger room is cramped throughout the cabin on both models, with limited legroom for adults in the backseats.

Cargo space is above average for a compact car and will fit 3 suitcases in the 13.9 cubic foot trunk.

How Does the Cobalt Compare to the Competition?

The Toyota Corolla is a popular competitor costing about $1,200 more. Reliability ratings are better in the Corolla, but the Cobalt is more fun to drive. We recommend the Corolla since they last longer and are more affordable to own long term.

The Ford Focus is another rival in the same price range. Passenger space and comfort are better in the Focus, but the Cobalt offers more powerful engines. We recommend the Cobalt since there are fewer complaints from owners, but overall quality is similar.

Owner

Owned it for 13 years and 357,000 miles. The 1st time I had to do anything to the motor was to replace the alternator and belt at 347,000 miles other than that normal wear items brakes bearings etc. Just now replacing the clutch and motor at 367k hope for another 367k most reliable car I’ve ever owned. Even outlasted my Power stroke by 160k miles.

Marisol T on March 29, 2021

This is a great car for first time drivers with great gas mileage.

It's been a great vehicle overall. Its my first and I had it for 5 years. Only major problems I had was replacing the steering. Otherwise it's a great car for a single person. It does not contain a whole lot of space. The gas mileage is great for the size of the car. It will last you as good as you treat it. Great first time car. Insurance is not too high with good record.

Krista H on March 26, 2021

That the car gets amazing gas mileage. That the gas can last a week or longer.

I like the gas mileage of my vehicle. I only have to fill it up every week. I also like how reliable it has been. I haven't had to complete any major repairs on it yet. The only thing I would change, is that I wish the car was higher up from the ground.

christina H on March 24, 2021

It's a great work car mostly because of the gas mileage.

It's been a great car. Had a couple recalls, but they were an easy fix. It's great on gas. It's a comfortable ride. It's smaller than I like though.

Kennedy H on March 23, 2021

Chevy Cobalt that only halfway works

Oil Leaks and gas leaks as well. It only had two doors and that's hard sometimes. But it does have a big trunk so that's good. And the backseat is bigger than you would think. Speakers are very touchy and most of the time only one of them works. It makes funny noises sometimes but it's kind of fast.

Ellen B on March 22, 2021

Although the trunk space is quite large and roomy it is impossible to get a regular sized rectangle laundry basket into it (or any other item that approximate size)

I like that it is small and gets good gas mileage. I also dislike the fact that it is small and limits my space for transporting items I may want to take somewhere. It is a good solid vehicle.

Michael P on March 19, 2021

It does have an anti theft system.

I like that the gas mileage is awesome. I don't like that it has to be serviced so often. I do not have any complaints. Love my car.

Amber B on March 18, 2021

The engines are known to blow at 90,000 miles. Mine did while I was still making payments on it and I had to replace it

My car has broke down so many times since I bought it. It looks nice out the outside but the mechanical aspect is very poor. I can't wait to get a new vehicle

Justin B on March 17, 2021

Power can come in a tiny package.

It performs and rides amazing, only have had an issue with sensors. I've started to put upgrades onto my vehicle and it has really opened up.

Anjay C on March 17, 2021

The car gets wonderful gas mileage about 35 miles per gallon

It has great gas mileage, and drives nice! I've had a lot of maintenance costs and it seems like it's always falling apart. It sits too low to the ground.

Kennedy F on March 17, 2021

No buttons or cruise in the car.

It has no electric buttons. Everything is manual, no cruise. I do like how small it is and how it fits in small spots.

Courtney S on March 15, 2021

The design is most excellent details.

Its compact with great fuel efficiency, with great features, but nothing too complicated to learn. Offers a great sleek design and easily washable. Performance runs smoothly and offers a great gas mileage. When I drove my vehicle on. Road trip there no issues of performance except running low on gas. Overall I feel it's the best vehicle for a first time buyer.

Amber P on March 13, 2021

The only thing i have to say is it runs good with gas

The dash lights and back lights went out and can't find why i have a roll your window down no cruise control but needs a chip to start the engine

Michelle P on March 13, 2021

Handles well on the road.

I like it because it is easy to drive and it does not cost much to service the car also the car is very good on gas. It is easy to clean and I rarely have problems with my car as long as I keep up with my fluid changes. It handles good on the road and it is also very cost efficient.

Olivia T on March 11, 2021

Reliable cobalt: 2 thumbs up!

The cobalt runs really well. Its 11 years old now, and in the time I have had it, I haven't had any problems with the way it runs. With regular maintenance and upkeep, it is very reliable. One thing worth mentioning is that the speakers in the front (located on the doors) do not work reliably.

Len K on March 10, 2021

Big problems with a small car.

Very plain interior with no extras. The electronics are dated and things are beginning to break. The paint is beginning to fade and the genders are rusted. Both front windows do not roll down. The ac does not work properly and the right turn signal does not work.

Mark W on March 8, 2021

That it gets me where I need to go.

It is mine. It runs great and is not for sale. It is got a 4 cylinder engine with a lot of new parts. It is white like me ha-ha.

Cody B on March 6, 2021

08 Chevy cobalt amazing little car.

I have a 2008 Chevy cobalt great little car get decent mileage and has an amazing stereo for be8ng stock. I am a rather tall person 6'3" and I fit in it just fine with a car seat behind me. I have had the car for almost a year and drove it 20k miles so far and other than regular maintenance have not had to put a dime into it. Have had no issues with anything other than the battery in the key fob dying.

Wesley M on February 26, 2021

08 4Dr Cobalt - 7 out of 10 stars.

Has the same bugs as any car its age I suppose. Check engine light is on and off thanks to sensors. The AC and heat still do well but I wrecked it a couple times too so had to replace the radiator. Lol

Harris S on February 19, 2021

It is a silver Chevy cobalt year 2008. With 4 doors.

It is a really. Good. Car just need something with automatic windows and doors I had the car for. 1 year now and I am just. Tired of. It and would like a new one.

Isabella A on February 17, 2021

Almost everything works has a few problems though

My blinker doesn't work. It doesn't turn off by itself. The front speakers don't work and cut in and out. Everything else works great. The problems are fixable. The car itself works great and has great gas mileage. It has great bikes and works on long trips.

Anjay C on February 16, 2021

It is a hazard just waiting to happen, you will bottom out several times!

It gets great gas mileage, and drives smooth and painlessly. It needs too much maintenance. It sits too low to the ground.

Whitney W on February 15, 2021

It is a reliable and dependable car on the highway. Fuel efficient.

It is dependable on the highway. Fuel efficient. I was surprised a the trunk space for a small car. It has power windows and locks. Great for running around town.

Anjay C on February 13, 2021

The quality of the car is horrible! Everything goes wrong with it!

It drives super smooth. It is way too small. I hate that the spare tire and the battery are in the trunk.

Dee S on February 11, 2021

Not good for winter states

Rachel K on February 10, 2021

I think it is very easy to drive and very good on gas.

I like my car because it's comfortable,and reliable,and good on gas.I am a senior and I do a lot of traveling during the spring,summer and fall.It handles well through the many Mountains that I go through.

Will U on February 4, 2021

It always gets through any road trip.

My car is pretty old. It often has to go to the shop and receive repairs. I recently hit a deer with it. The windshield wipers are very loud.

Nicole V on February 4, 2021

Reliable, economical car; not glamorous.

Anne P on February 3, 2021

Great affordable car that is easy on your wallet.

Very fuel efficient, great car for short people, simple to operate (not overloaded with features. This is a compact car which makes it easy to maneuver through traffic. Can turn on a dime, easy on the wallet,

Lindsay H on February 2, 2021

Too small - weird wiring - not a good car for families or more than 1 person.

Wiring seems to be bad, everything electric in the car goes in and out since the day I bought it. Too small of a car. Wish they left the backseat out to give more room in the car. If I could go back I would have bought a bigger car, but this one was in my budget,

Jordan L on February 2, 2021

Certain ones have all fancy stuff like, automatic features and cruise control.

What I love about my vehicle is the smooth drive. I never have to worry about being uncomfortable in my car. What I do not like is that I do not have any form of cruise control.

Erica Z on February 1, 2021

It drove across the country from Missouri to California six times!

I've had my car over 10 years and have always loved the way it drives. The downside is it is pretty small as a coupe so I can't really drive other people around. I like the color. I don't like that the speakers are broken.

Joshua B on January 31, 2021

Low to the ground, but a comfortable ride.

The car sits very low. I am just over 6 feet tall, and it is hard to get in/out of. Also, the oil pan was torn open on a bump that no one else on the road seemed to have a problem with. It gets decent gas mileage, and is fairly comfortable, but just not built right for me.

Daniel R on January 29, 2021

It is compact and easy to drive. Has good mileage and more.

Blue Chevy Cobalt LS 2008, I like the gas mileage and automatic transmission, needs electric locks and windows

haley E on January 26, 2021

It has a great dash monitor. Everything is electronic.

It's fantastic on gas and hardly ever has problems. The only two things wrong with these cars are the transmission and timing. I got them both changed 2 times already in the past 3 years. This car has great features on the inside. The radio has satellite connections and aux.

Rochelle M on January 25, 2021

Grand rider take you there get you there grand power.

Wonderful motor great miles I bought it from somebody that took good care of it. The interior is still in awesome shape. Only a few scratches on the back of the bumper. Fully loaded engine. I have had a few mechanical problems the whole two years of having this vehicle.

Heidi G on January 24, 2021

Reliable, but wrinkled long windows.

So far I have no complaints.The prior owner had the windows tinted and an awful job. The doors are long.

Kyrsten O on January 22, 2021

Always lock your doors because I don't have power locks.

My vehicle is a burnt orange color and I absolutely love it. Now, it is a base model, so it doesn't have power locks and windows, but it is still a nice car. The speakers are kind of cheap but other than those things it runs well and has minimal problems and great gas mileage

Zachary b on January 17, 2021

It is one of the most reliable cars I have ever owned.

My vehicle the chevy cobalt 2008 is reliable and good on gas. I've had it for 2 years and it gets me back and forth from work with no hiccups. Only things i've ever had to replace was light bulbs.

Brandon W on January 15, 2021

In my opinion a good starter car to have

Sensor on toes always have issues to the point that I ignore it when it comes on. One time I got it fixed but a week later it came back. And I haven't really experienced any huge issues with the car. Other than that I really don't have anything to complain about the car.

Tabitha C on January 10, 2021

Chevrolet makes dependable vehicles for the most part. I have had my car for ten years now and have not had many problems with it.

I like the fact that my car is great on gas, but do not like that it is bad in the snow. My car is a manual transmission, which I enjoy. My car does not have a lot of trunk space.

Connor T on January 8, 2021

Good priced used car that is very comfortable with leg room

I bought it used for 7k and for having 120,000 miles it ran smoothly and handled fairly well, only a two door so it the back seat was a struggle for passengers getting in an out otherwise it is a really nice car for a starter car or someone just looking for a car under 10k that's used

Kayla C on December 31, 2020

Reliable, great on gas, and cheap to fix.

Awesome car haven't had any problems it's always been reliable. I will buy a new one. Its fast, great on gas, drive awesome on the highway for long distances. It's never let me down. I have drove to from Maine to Georgia and back to Maine. It was an amazing trip. Always going to buy a Chevy.

Della B on December 31, 2020

Good little car for your money.

It is good on gas. Easy to park, had some electrical problems that was very expensive to have fixed. Very good in the snow for a small car, got my money's worth and still going. Stereo system is still good. Paint is peeling, it is been reliable, handles good, trunk is very roomy for a small car.

Wesley G on December 29, 2020

Great gas mileage 30+ in seattle

Car has 4 cylinder engine which loses a little zip around 150000 miles. The doors in the coupe are long so don't get them if you need a compact car. Regular time it's really help after 100000 miles. Check that car had ignition cylinder recall work done for your safety. Very important

Tamara L on December 23, 2020

2008 Chevy Cobalt you can't go wrong with a Chevy a winning card hands down

It is a very dependable car regular maintenance has been peeped up on this car oil changes rise rotation radiaTor flushes and much more

lawanda b on December 21, 2020

Nice size and Fuel efficient

I bought my cobalt used, it had 5,000 miles on it. It has been a very reliable and fuel efficient car. It currently almost has 100,000 miles on it. It is starting to have normal wear and tear problems, but that is to be expected

Jennifer P on December 19, 2020

Safety features are lacking in comparison to newer models and it's pretty small.

I would really like a backup camera. My car is a little small for my family. It runs well with only minor issues starting to arise(starter going out, etc.). Great vehicle, I just want to upgrade to a newer car.

Jeff J on December 19, 2020

Small electric issues. Blinker and sensors.

Great car runs well. Still good on gas. Dislikes. . Small electrical problems with the model for almost all the cars they made.

Cassidy B on December 18, 2020

2008 Chevy Cobalt, sunroof, leather heated seats, aux CD Player, 4 door.

I've never had any issues with my 2008 Chevy Cobalt. It's extremely reliable to get me where I need to go. The heated leather seats are so nice in the winter. I have had this car through my teenage years and into my adult life. I am really impressed with how well it has held up during this time. It went from reliable car for a teenager to reliable car for newlyweds and their kids.
