The LS, LT, and LTZ models are powered by a 148-horsepower 2.2-liter engine and use the FE1 suspension. Three different engines are available with suspensions tuned to match. The 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt is available in two body styles: two-door coupe and four-door sedan. Special 16-inch high-vent steel wheels are now available on the LT model and 18-inch polished wheels are available for the SS Supercharged coupe. A new exterior color option is Sport Red Tintcoat. An AM/FM stereo with in-dash six-CD player and MP3 playback is a new option for 2007. Standard equipment has been upgraded to include AM/FM stereo with CD and auxiliary input jack and three-spoke steering wheel. A remote vehicle starter is available on models with an automatic transmission ($190).

New for 2007, the 2.2-liter and 2.4-liter Ecotec engines get slightly more power. Quick, responsive handling and brisk acceleration performance along with a sporty-sounding exhaust note make the supercharged coupe entertaining to drive, a sport compact that can more than hold its own in the class. Driving the SS Supercharged model is an absolute hoot. The SS models offer a dynamic driving experience. Premium features are available like heated leather seats, XM Satellite Radio, MP3, and OnStar. If you're looking for inexpensive, high-value transportation with a new-car warranty, the Cobalt is worth a look. Built on a strong, stiff platform, it delivers crisp handling and a smooth ride. The Cobalt is quiet and refined for a small car. That's an impressive achievement, considering how long the competition has dominated this game. With its expressive styling and all-around competence, the Chevrolet Cobalt competes effectively against the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Ford Focus.
