Would you buy this car again?

I was looking at buying a new/2007 Cobalt and figured the best source for info would be here. Have you been happy with your purchase? The Cobalt is only 3 years old, so I wouldnt expect alot of maintenance problems at this point. Happy with the 2.2l? This would be replacing (eventually) a 1994 Beretta with 183k on it. Any or all thoughts you have are welcome.

Thanks,
Bern

First off, welcome to the site!

To answer your question: Yes.


I have no regrets about my car. I hope to have it for a while yet.

it will be a nice replacment for the beretta, as for me..as a 2.2 owner... no i wouldnt buy the car again..this car has been way to un-mod friendly to me, its a good looking car, its snappy..very very tough to beat for the price.. i just wish i woulda just got something a lil older that id be less afraid to play with more

Also, my cousin had a Beretta and traded it in when she got her G5 back in December. She loves her car as well. I would say go for it.

I wouldnt. Id buy a berlinetta with 183k on it before I took on another payment. To many little things breaking all the time. I definitely love the way it looks tho.

My 2005 2.2l ls sedan has been great, no problems at all (just not enough power) but great on gas. I would only buy this car again if I needed to, I should have waited for the ss/sc but the weren't availble when I needed a new car.

I love my car also, in the process right now of trying to get a ss/tc but in reality that might only look good for me in the 09 models
