Anyone have Opinions on cobalts? how do they drive? build quality?

Right now a dealership is having a special on Cobalts, 88 dollars a month for 39 months with 1500 down… thats like next to nothing for a car to drive around in. I am paying 330 now for the VW, i just can’t see any reason to pay for a car that I barely drive.

Instead of eating lunch I went for a test drive in a Cobalt LT Coupe.

I am going to work with another dealership, this place would just not budge so I walked away. The car I test drove looked like its been sitting for a while, I think it will continue to sit with their atitude!

they are nice cars. my friend got one of the first '05s and he said there was a problem with the windows coming off track but i think it was a recall or something. but other than that, no complaints. i think they are really nice cars.

yes… i believe you pay the lease towards the interest, then the buyout is mainly on the princpal if you wanted to purchase it in the end.

My friend has a cobalt with that plain. Seems like a nice car, alot nicer then the focus. Maybe not as nice as the new civics. But still for the price, thats a good deal.

Consumer Reports ranks them as below average. That explains the cheap lease price but otherwise I still can’t think of any car that you can get for such little money.
