2005 Chevrolet Cobalt LT basic review from North America
"Crappy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car is a general piece of crap.
First, the most expensive problem is it keeps burning up tires like it's going out of style; they don't stay aligned and we have blown a few from balding.
The car drives like a bunch of snakes; very poor steering. I have heard numerous complaints here about a shaky steering column and must agree, the column shakes and rattles constantly.
Very loud inside the interior when driving on freeway. The plastic interior is starting to crack and break.
General comments?
The only two good things I can say about this car is that it gets GREAT gas mileage (I can average about 34 mpg at 60 mph), and second, it has an integrated oil filter that makes changing the oil a snap.
