2006 Chevrolet Cobalt LS Base review from North America
"Peppy! 5000 Mile First trip to dealership. One of many? I hope not!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Started having problems with the radio at about 4,000 miles. Just goes dead including interior lights when it cuts out. A new glitch (that's what I'm calling the problems-glitches) is hard starting. The car turns over like normal, but takes a lot longer to start. The hard starting glitch started just about 200 miles ago. Last glitch so far is the steering. The steering wheel vibrates and you hear weird noises from under the hood turning a corner at any speed, left or right. This started at about 3000 miles.
General comments?
The car is surprisingly peppy.
Cramped passenger/legroom issue for friends in back.
For a low-end, base model chevy, What can you really expect for $14 grand?!
