So, how have these cars been doing lately?

Our reliability stats for the Cobalt now include owner experiences through March 31, 2015. (Others are nearly a year behind.)

In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year ("low" is best):

2009 Cobalt: 57, moderate, small sample size
2008 Cobalt: 42, low, very small sample size
2007 Cobalt: 48, low, small sample size
2006 Cobalt: 61, low, small sample size

No stat for a model year? Then we very much need more participants for it. Same for those with small sample size notes. Next updates in August and November.

Our reliability stats for the Cobalt now cover the year ending June 30, 2015. (Others are over a year behind, and so report how these cars were doing when a year younger.) Repair trips per 100 cars:

2009 Cobalt: 59, moderate, small sample size
2008 Cobalt: 38, low, very small sample size
2007 Cobalt: 37, low, small sample size
2006 Cobalt: 55, low, very small sample size

With more participants we could provide more precise stats for these cars.

We've updated our reliability stats for the Cobalt to include owner experiences through September 30, 2015. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2009 Cobalt: 44, low, small sample size
2008 Cobalt: 45, low, very small sample size
2007 Cobalt: 38, low, small sample size
2006 Cobalt: 78, moderate, small sample size

We'll have further updates in February and in May. Additional participants are needed to provide precise stats for all model years.

I dont really think you can base reliablility on a bunch of cars people mod the **** out of

 

Makes total sense.

 

We've updated our reliability stats for the Cobalt to include owner experiences through the end of 2015, about eight months ahead of other sources. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year--lower is better:

2009 Cobalt: 51, moderate, small sample size
2008 Cobalt: 45, low, very small sample size
2007 Cobalt: 26, low, small sample size
2006 Cobalt: 53, low, very small sample size

No stat, or a small sample size? Then we especially need more owners involved for that model year.

I'm on here.

We do very much need more participants to provide precise stats for these cars. For those who aren't yet participating, it's possible to sign up here:

We've updated our reliability stats for the Cobalt to include owner experiences through June 30, 2016. Reliability information elsewhere is based on a survey conducted in April 2015--well over a year ago.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year (lower is better):

2009 Cobalt: 40, low, small sample size
2008 Cobalt: 55, moderate, very small sample size
2007 Cobalt: 41, low, very small sample size
2006 Cobalt: 44, low, very small sample size

We'll have further updates in November and next February. The more owners participate, the more comprehensive and precise these will be.
