Toyota Corolla vs. Chevrolet Cobalt Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Chevrolet to the dealership as the Toyota Corolla. When it comes to gas mileage, the Toyota Corolla is slightly better than the Cobalt, but not by much. With respect to MSRP, the Chevrolet Cobalt doesn't cost much less than the Toyota Corolla.

Utility
The Corolla and the Chevrolet Cobalt can accommodate the same number of passengers. Towing is substantially more the Toyota Corolla's forte than it is the Chevrolet Cobalt's.

Convenience
You'll most certainly take the Corolla for a fill-up about as often as the Chevrolet Cobalt.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Toyota Corolla offers a bit more head room than the Chevrolet Cobalt, there honestly isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Toyota Corolla make it more spacious for your passengers than the Chevrolet Cobalt.

Dimensions
The Chevrolet Cobalt's tank is about the same size as the Toyota Corolla's, though the Toyota Corolla's is a tad larger. The Toyota Corolla and the Cobalt compete for the same parking spaces.

Handling
With their similar turning circles, the Chevrolet Cobalt and the Toyota definitely handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Chevrolet Cobalt has a larger engine than the Toyota Corolla. Keep in mind that smaller engines are often cheaper to fix, but a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Cobalt is significantly more powerful than the Toyota Corolla. Torque equals pickup, and the Chevrolet Cobalt will have picked up and gone by the time the Corolla finally gets moving.

Warranty
The Chevrolet Cobalt and the Toyota Corolla have the same basic warranty.
