The 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt is available in two body styles: two-door coupe and four-door sedan. Three different engines are available with suspensions tuned to match.
The LS, LT, and LTZ models are powered by a 148-horsepower 2.2-liter engine and use the FE1 suspension.
The LS ($13,790) sedan and coupe come standard with air conditioning, cloth upholstery with height-adjustable front seats and a 60/40 split fold-down rear seat, automatic headlights, electric rear defogger, tilt steering column, CD player with auxiliary jack, and a driver information center. LS models come with wind-up windows and manually operated mirrors, front disc/rear drum brakes, and 15-inch wheels and tires. LS models have a body-color grille and door handles. They offer a choice of five-speed manual or optional four-speed automatic ($850).
The LT ($14,910) sedan and coupe get power windows and door locks, anti-lock brakes, 16-inch alloy wheels. LT comes standard with a five-speed manual or optional four-speed automatic ($850). The LTZ sedan ($18,790) is a premium model that comes standard with the automatic transmission, along with upgraded audio and premium trim.
SS ($18,210) coupe and sedan get a 173-hp 2.4-liter engine, the FE3 sports suspension, 17-inch wheels and high performance tires. SS also gets upgraded cloth, special body-color trim and other upgrades. SS models are available with the five-speed manual or four-speed automatic ($850).
SS Supercharged coupe ($21,110) features a 205-hp 2.0-liter engine, the high-performance FE5 suspension, and 18-inch wheels with high-performance tires.
Options include power sunroof ($750); OnStar ($695); XM Satellite Radio ($199), a rear spoiler ($275), in-dash 6CD player and MP3 ($295). The Sport package ($595) includes a brushed metal trim package for the dashboard, white-faced gauges, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, rear spoiler and 16-inch alloy wheels with Pirelli tires.
Safety features include dual-stage front air bags, front seatbelt pre-tensioners, rear center shoulder belts, and the LATCH child seat retention system. All but LS come standard with anti-lock brakes (ABS). Head curtain side air bags ($395) designed to provide head protection are optional. OnStar is a good safety feature because operators will direct emergency crews to your exact location should your airbag go off and you fail to respond.
