The 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt ranks 23 out of 29 Affordable Small Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 80 published reviews and test drives of the Chevrolet Cobalt, and our analysis of reliability and safety data. The Chevy Cobalt is surprisingly fun to drive for an inexpensive car, boasts solid fuel economy, and is available with one of the nicest stereo systems found in this price range. But its seats are simply uncomfortable to many reviewers, and its styling looks out of date.
But the Cobalt can't crack the top half of the huge small car class because it is small inside, with too little rear-seat space for adults. Hard seats in front and back are a common complaint. And its styling looks dated next to most other small cars.
