Are Chevrolet Cobalt SS reliable cars?

[what]

Are they reliable for long distances?
Are they good on gas?
Will verticle doors be easy for people to rob my car?
also how much would it cost me buying it off the streets?

And what color is best?

I agree all vehicles are reliable, it's just that the older they are, the more maintenance they need, so yeah especially Chevrolet's are definitely reliable. I would get yellow but i would also get a black color with black rims, I think that would look nice, or silver color with black rims, also nice. Choose whatever makes YOU happy!

A used Cobalt SS will most likely be pretty beat up. People that own them drive them hard, they good little cars, but they live rough lives.

You need something thats good for long drives and good fuel economy. A Cobalt SS isnt the right car. Use you head

I beg to differ--there have been lemons. Vega, Audi 100LS,some Fiats. Pintos blew up on impact. Some cars, like the Jaguar V12's, were good but their engines were finicky, needed constant tuning. Electrical bad on most Brit cars, too. Even old Dodge Hemis, like the 426, has a fussy engine. That's why most Dodge and Plymouth muscle cars had wedge 440's in them.Even a Rolls Royce will c*** out if not maintained.Vertical Doors? What Year? You mean, Gull wing? I am sure they are secure enough with today's alarm systems.Color--Your Choice. I hate, purple, pink. I like white, almond, black, even yellow on cars. Some look good even with Lime Green.

The 2009-- you didn't say what year--got a good review:

I disagree, all cars are not reliable. Cobalts are NOT reliable.
They are very good on gas
Not many cars get broken into unless you park it in a sketchy place.
Not very much if your buying used. they have terrible resale value.
If I was getting one, I would get black or red

All cars are reliable

it just takes people who don't care about them to define them as junk...
