There are six models in the Cobalt lineup, base and LS versions of both body styles, a premium-appointed LT sedan, and the SS coupe.
Where the other Cobalt models use GM's 2.2-liter twin-cam, 16-valve aluminum alloy ``Ecotec'' four-cylinder engine in 145-horsepower tune, the SS coupe has a 2.0-liter supercharged and intercooled version with 205 horsepower and 200 lb-ft of torque.

Cobalt sedans have a distinctly European flair, with thick painted roof pillars, a reverse dogleg C-pillar, tautly stretched sheetmetal and simple triangular taillights.
Because the Chevrolet Cobalt won't reach showrooms until January of 2005, detailed specifications were not available upon the vehicle's introduction at the 2004 Greater Los Angeles Auto Show.
Our initial impressions, based on the information provided and cursory examination from outside of the Chevrolet Cobalt: styling is spot on; interior design and ergonomics are well executed; the SS Supercharged model sounds promising; refinement and competence of mechanical package remains to be proven; occupant comfort levels are unknown.

 Bankrate road test: Chevrolet Cobalt SS
The answer apparently proved elusive, because year after year Chevrolet kept coming to the game with its Cavalier, a sedan that was made attractive only by the thousands of dollars in cash incentives and zero-percent financing packed into every one.
The Cobalt is built on a front-wheel-drive chassis powered by a four-cylinder engine, the same configuration of the old Cavalier.
The Cobalt is available in coupe or sedan form and four trim levels, each with a high level of standard equipment.

 usnews.com: Auto reviews: 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt (5/9/05)
The Cobalt's steering is tightly tuned, and the nose stays up in curves instead of diving into the pavement.
But this is not what we have come to expect from Chevrolet, which has struggled to attain mediocrity in its interiors and packaging and has allowed the substandard Cavalier to languish on the market way past its time.
Despite making a good first impression and hitting the right dollar mark, the Cobalt is selling slowly, as skeptical consumers wait for proof that Chevrolet has built a car that's as reliable and sturdy as the best from Japan.

Maximum supercharger boost pressure is 12 pounds per square inch (psi), and the system includes an air-to-water intercooler that cools the incoming air charge to increase intake-charge density, which in turn enhances power and reduces the engine’s propensity to “knock” at high boost levels.
Cobalt SS Supercharged achieves 0-60 mph in 6.4 seconds, and the quarter-mile in 14.9 seconds, with a top speed of 143 mph.

 Chevrolet Cobalt SS - Road Test & Review - Automobile Magazine
The Chevrolet Cobalt SS comes with a supercharged 205-hp engine developed in drag racing, a stiff chassis derived from the Opel Astra, eighteen-inch wheels, and a rear wing even bigger and sillier than that of the Subaru WRX STi.
Overall, the Cobalt is sure-footed and capable, a step above the examples of the Ford Focus, the Honda Civic, the Toyota Corolla, and the Volkswagen Jetta that we drove for comparison purposes.
If you were driving across the state, a Cobalt sedan would be an excellent choice, especially once the optional 175-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder with variable valve timing comes on stream for the '06 model year.

The $24,000 Cobalt SS outpointed three competitors in the test group-the base model of the Acura RSX, the Scion tC, and the Mitsubishi Eclipse GS.
The Cobalt SS, which is based on Chevy's new factory-built front-wheel-drive Super Sport, posted a time of 1:58 around Buttonwillow's #13 track configuration, which was fast enough to eclipse the marks set by the All-Wheel-Drive, twin-turbo Skyline (2:05) and the nitrous-charged Jetta (2:07).
The Cobalt build team was comprised of engineers and designers from the GM Performance Division and Powell Motorsports, while the Nissan Skyline was built by XS Engineering and the Jetta was assembled by Autobahn Designs.

 Chevrolet Cobalt - CarSpace Automotive Forums
Plus...I like the look of the Cobalt, and would consider purchasing one, but the one "fly in the ointment" (so to speak) is the Consumer Reports rating for it, claiming it ain't bad but way below, almost bottom of the barrel, in terms of dependability/reliabilty.
I'm hip to the fact that the Cobalt is easy to buy and service, considering the many Chevy dealers there are coast to coast.
I own a 2006 Cobalt with 24,600 miles on it and only had 1 problem with it (the shifter assemby was changed because of key problems) other than that it's needed nothing but oil changes.

Handling is another strong Cobalt attribute, where the car posts an average speed of 47 mph through the slalom and 0.87 g on the skidpad.

 Chevrolet Cobalt and Mazda 3 Review & Road Test - Automobile Magazine
Unlike the Cavalier, which also was sold as the Pontiac Sunfire, the Cobalt has no corporate twin, although it was developed from the same platform as the uninspiring Saturn Ion.
Our Chevy Cobalt was the top-of-the-line version of the sedan: the LT. All Cobalt sedans have the same 2.2-liter, 145-hp Ecotec four.
The Cobalt LT easily surpasses the Mazda 3s in the standard equipment department: The LT includes antilock brakes (albeit on a disc/drum set-up versus the Mazda's all-disc), traction control, and heated leather seats.
