Jackson Chevrolet | Hartford CT Chevrolet Dealer | 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt Reviews, Specs, Information

Cobalt features a strong foundation, rigid body structure, well-isolated chassis and low interior noise levels, thanks in part to the use of Quiet Steel laminated sheetmetal, a premium material not normally found on vehicles in the compact segment. Precise electric power steering, tuned to each tire/wheel combination, further contributes to the dynamic driving experience

2008 Chevrolet Cobalt

With a broad range of models, offering a variety of well-equipped and sporty choices, the Chevy Cobalt continues to shine as one of the segment’s most popular cars. The Cobalt enters the 2008 model year on the heels of a successful ’07 model year, which introduced several significant enhancements, including more powerful Ecotec engines. For ’08, the Cobalt builds on that powerful foundation with a streamlined model lineup and more standard safety and convenience equipment.

The ’08 Cobalt lineup includes LS, LT and Sport models. The SS and SS Supercharged designations have been put on hiatus while the next generation of Cobalt high-performance’s legacy is finalized. Also, the previous Sport Package is now the Performance Appearance Package and is available on 2LT models; it includes a rear spoiler, 16-inch aluminum wheels, stainless steel exhaust with chrome tips, fog lamps, white-face gauges, and leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter knob.
