Used 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt for Sale

Only one thing bothers me about my car. A few years back, both the back windows stopped working, and this past year the front passenger side window "fell down" in the well and had to be fixed. It was very expensive to replace the electronic motor that runs the window. I feel fairly certain I will not address both the back windows because of the expense. Other than this, I love my car! It has been consistently good on gas (30 - 35 mpg). As old as it is, I still am getting that type of mileage on a trip. It rides very smoothly, and I hear only minor rattles from time to time. I've never had to deal with a major repair, so this tells me the car is well made. The seats are quite comfortable, both front and back. The back doors open wide enough so that when I had to take the grandkids out of their car seats, it was easy to do. Great sound from the radio as well. There is a good bit of headroom in the car. My husband, who is very long-waisted, comes close to rubbing his head on the top but does clear it with a bit of room left. The trunk is gigantic! One of my favorite features is the cargo net that came with the car. It keeps my groceries from sliding back in the trunk. It also opens wide and holds a lot of stuff. It steer so easily and still stops on a dime.

It might seem silly, but I like the color of my car - it's a deep blue that stands out among the more basic car colors that are always popular. The car is so quiet, a quality I was not used to having previously been an SUV owner. Once, while parked, I tried to crank the vehicle a second time because it was so quiet I didn't realize it was already cranked and idling! The manufacturer sound system is amazing. Acceleration is nice, I love a vehicle that's ready to go when I am! The interior is pretty roomy, too, which is a good thing because I own a business that requires traveling to purchase and bring home lots of inventory. I once brought home three large bar stools which actually fit in the back seat! My family and friends are always amazed at the amount of stuff I can fit in my small car! Since traveling is mandatory, I'm also mindful of having a vehicle with good gas mileage. The cobalt also doesn't disappoint in this category either. It's been a great car, and 10 years later we are still going strong! I've had very few issues with the vehicle other than a couple of recalls on parts (ignition switch) but those were easily solvable situations. I think if I had any criticisms for the vehicle, it would be the quality of materials used on the interior. The fabric easily stains. All the interior trim work are cheap plastics that have been painted. The plastics chip and the paint scratches easily. These details can degrade the attractiveness of a vehicle very quickly. Ever gotten in a vehicle with someone who has a strange mystery stain on the seat and wondered what happened... or worse thought the person was dirty because of their car interior situation? Embarrassing!! Overall my vehicle has been reliable, and I have enjoyed owning it despite the few qualms I have with its design.

The Cobalt I have is a sport. It is a two door. I have driven my car over 70,000 miles, and I haven't had one issue with the motor. There is no rattling from the motor, and it is a gas saver. This is a great first car for your daughter who is in high school.
