Like anything else, it shouldn't unless you don't maintain it.

I'm 47 and just bought one for my daughter. I love driving a small car again and while it is a little noisy, it handles and rides very smooth. The motor has some real power too.
 
Best $11k I ever spent on a car.

Glad you like it. It should be a good dependable car for your daughter. Most four cylinder cars are noisy, but I think the Cobalt is one of the quieter ones especially with that the insulated steel body panels that they use.

07 LT 1 W/Auto & cruise but it only has 50 miles soooooooo
 
Bottom line is I've test drove 6 of them and waited until, hopefully, most of the bugs have been worked out.
 
Mine is a later build, 7/07 so maybe from here on out things will be pretty good. Can only hope!

I like it alot, some of the other Cobalt Message Boards don't have a soul who is over 25 yrs old. I'm 44. Plan to purchase a Cobalt next year. My wife isn't crazy about the idea, is loyal to her Hondas. But I want a small, affordable, American car and that's it. I'm from NJ - anybody else?

Chevy Cobalt Paint Fading On Side Trim Silver by ladyncar

I bought my Cobult back in 2005 and I find my silver car losing the paint fading on both sides of my car with the trim. I can't believe what I am reading on here abnout my car the key sticking it has happened twice to me so far and now the fan isn't working for the air and heat when you turn it to the highest setting 4. And of course the paint fading. I am calling the dealer and taking it over next week. I hope the trim is under warranty as I still only have 25,000 miles on it. Any one else having this problem with there cobalt.

I bought my 2006 Cobalt LS (Sedan) last August. Between the end of the year rebates and my GM cashback, I got it for less than 10K. It's pretty basic with the only extra option being Cruise Control. It's a 5-speed, manual windows, locks, etc. I'm 42 - very happy with the car as a commuter car. I usually get around 34mph with it back and forth to work, and have no work done so far other than oil changes. I'm at 15,000 miles so far. I say, if you can get a good price, go for it.

Love it, so far. by cmhj2000

07 LT 1 sedan W/Auto & cruise.
 
Only has 200 miles on it but am having a blast with it. Makes me feel 20 years younger, don't know if that's a good thing yet. Might not be if the cops watch me too close.
 
One minor problem that I'm not going to worry about. The detent spring for the left side dash door, that hides the trunk release, fell out. Door still works OK so no biggie, probably will fix it myself when I feel like it.
 
Otherwise, glad I bought it. Had put it off for year and maybe that's a good thing since the first year or 2 of a new car & more so with the economy class usually has several bugs.
