The 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt is a compact car that was produced by General Motors from 2005 to 2010. It was offered in a variety of trim levels, including the base LS, the sporty SS, and the fuel-efficient LTZ. The Cobalt was known for its affordability, spacious interior, and relatively peppy performance. It was also one of the first cars in its class to offer a turbocharged engine option, which was available in the SS model.

The Cobalt was powered by a range of four-cylinder engines, including a 2.0-liter Ecotec engine, a 2.2-liter Ecotec engine, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged Ecotec engine. The 2.0-liter Ecotec engine was the standard engine for the LS and LT models, while the 2.2-liter Ecotec engine was available for the LT model and the 2.0-liter turbocharged Ecotec engine was exclusive to the SS model. The Cobalt was available with a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission. The car was also offered with a variety of features, including air conditioning, power windows, power locks, and an AM/FM stereo. However, the Cobalt was also subject to several recalls, including one for a faulty ignition switch that could lead to loss of power and the potential for a fire. In 2010, General Motors discontinued the Cobalt, citing declining sales.
