It is a nice small car. It has been reliable over the couple of years that I have owned it. It is still running quite nicely. The only things that I have disliked about the car is that the doors are huge, but that is normal for a coupe style car, that is just personal preference. Other than that it is a nice reliable car that I would recommend to anyone. I got the car when I was 16 so it is a nice economically beneficial car for your teenagers.

I am a big fan of my Chevrolet Cobalt! The car runs great, accelerates quickly when need and maintains good control in all weather conditions. There are a few things that I don't like; however, they are minor details. The slope towards the back of the car leads to a little more of a blind spot then I would prefer. Also, the information on gas mileage left on the tank is often incorrect. In fact, I almost ran out of gas on the interstate when the reading went directly from 25 miles to 5 miles in less than a minute. In terms of features, the sound system works well and the power windows/locks are also nice to have. Power steering is good and helps maintain control of the car in all types of weather ranging from hot, dry roads to cold, icy winters.

This car is an average car at best. I like its fuel economy and the fact that it has a manual transmission. I dislike its color and styling. I got it used, for a good price, however, so I can't complain too much. It has a great audio system by Pioneer and has a fully leather, heated interior. The engine is quite unreliable and burns and leaks oil. This lead to a timing chain tensioner knock that I am still trying to come up with the money in order to fix. Luckily, it was a lot less to fix, as I guess this engine is more easily worked on than most. Other than that, she has been pretty reliable to me, having lasted through a cross-country road trip there and back in under four months. This car has never left me stranded and only recently had issues, namely the clutch and timing chain tensioner. This car is not fast by any means; although, the fact that it is a manual means you can drive it as if it were fast, i.e., it makes it feel fast. I can't speak for ride quality because the roads in my area are completely ruined, so no matter what car you drive, it will feel horrible.
