What class of car is a Chevy Cobalt?

It’s time to replace my SUV and I’m tired of paying an arm and a leg for gas and insurance. I was thinking of a small car and had my eye on the Chevy Cobalt. What kind of car is a Cobalt?

Although the fuel efficiency of SUVs has improved, they are definitely still gas-guzzlers! So, a smaller car is a great option if you’re looking to save money.
In terms of the class of car, a
Chevy Cobalt
is considered a compact economy car and is available in either a coupe or sedan body style. Cobalts and similar vehicles typically get great gas mileage, have a smooth and quiet ride, and tend to earn good safety ratings.
However, if you’re looking to get behind the wheel of a Cobalt, you’ll have to buy one used, as this Chevy was only manufactured from 2004 to 2009, when it was replaced with the
Chevy Cruze
.
