The overview
This coupe is a rebadged Chevrolet Cobalt. It comes in both a base and GT trim. A 2.2-liter, 148-hp, four-cylinder engine powers the base model, and the GT comes with a 2.4-liter, 173-hp, four-cylinder engine. Both are available with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. In our testing the Cobalt was quick, but engine refinement and fuel economy were unimpressive. Handling was secure, but the steering lacked feedback. The rear seat was cramped and access was made difficult by the front safety belts. The rear seat folds 60/40 to increase storage space. 2009 was its last year.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
