To be completely honest I have not had a single problem with this car, nor did my aunt when she bought it new. the only expenses I have had are routine maintenance such as:
Replacing brakes and rotors.
Regular oil/filter/air filter changes, etc.
And obviously... gasoline!
I love this car!!! It has so much more power than my last car (1995 Neon) and is much more comfortable. The only thing I have done to the car, other than those listed above, is installing satellite radio.
The car accelerates well, and drives like a dream while on cruise control on busy interstates.
Handling is good, and the braking is more than sufficient.
The ride is rather comfortable for a compact car, and the interior (although I think it could have used some updating from previous models) is attractive and very simple.
And the exterior is gorgeous!! Well, especially with a rear spoiler (for some reason I think Cavaliers look naked without one). The spoiler also makes the four door sedan look just as sporty as the coupes.
I just love this car!!
Plus, why buy foreign when you can buy a very reliable American-made car?
I have a base 2006 Cobalt LS since June 2006 and I feel the same way - it's a good riding, reliable car that's fun to drive. I've had NO problems with it yet. Maybe the cars without all the extra stuff are more reliable because there are no accessories to place an extra load on the electrical system and drivetrain?
