Cobalt tops Cavalier as Chevy’s new premium compact
Don Hammonds reviews the 2005 Chevy Cobalt, calling it a fun, well‑built update over the Cavalier. He notes starting prices near $14,190, up to about $22,000 for the 88 Supercharged. The 2.2‑liter 145‑hp engine delivers 27 city/33 highway mpg, with a responsive electric, speed‑sensitive steering system and a cozy but practical interior though the gray dash lowers contrast and the rear seat accommodates only two with a baby seat.
