"Good car for whats its worth"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rt tail light has water, Rt headlight bulb holder broke, Front of car rattles, Rotors are warped.

General comments?

I like the 2.2 power it takes off when you need to. It's a good little car. The tires that came with the car were the worse. After replacing the stock "continental tires" with potenza G 009. It handled much better.

I just purchased a 2006 Chevy Cobalt a few months back and left comments under a new thread for that. I just felt it necessary to respond to this thread.

Before purchasing the Cobalt I had a 1990 Honda Civic sedan that had 260,000 miles on it. The car still ran great. Besides some nuisance issues, ie., inside trunk latch broke, seatbelt light flashed, etc. I did not have any mechanical problems with the car. I got 40 miles to the gallon and never needed to add any oil. I sold it to a guy I work with and he currently drives it an hour to work each day.

I also own a 2002 Toyota Sienna van that I purchased a couple years ago and it currently has 70,000 miles on it. The van has had a few things go wrong with it since I purchased it. The drivers side sliding door occasionally fails to latch shut (dealership couldn't find anything wrong) and the passenger side headlight fails to come on occasionally.

Although I have had the Cobalt only a few months I like the car a lot. The gas mileage is decent (38-40 miles on the highway), enough room in the back for three children, ages 9 months - 6 years, huge trunk for a small car and there have been no problems yet and I am currently at about 6000 miles. From what I read it seems most of the problems occur around the 10,000-15,000 mile range, so I am holding my breath.

Just my two cents.
