Problems/Service/Maintenance Do you have problems with your new 2.0, 2.2, or 2.4L? What kind of service did you have done?

Would you buy this car again?

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
