2008 Chevrolet Cobalt Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	4 door has more headroom and backseat is much improved over the 2 door i previously owned see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007	2dr Coupe 173-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The 6 way adjustable drivers seat really makes for a comfortable ride. Driving upwards of 700km a day for 4 days straight gave me a great chance to test this out, and I never once got stiff and sore. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review

2008 Chevrolet Cobalt Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	2dr Coupe turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Not alot of head room and the steering wheel does not telescope. I fit in it fine but someone tall might not. minor thing really. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2008	4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Hard and thin seat cushions. Legs would feel fatigue after a couple hours of driving. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007	2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD	In coupe form, the rear seats are cramped and and things can be somewhat claustrophobic in the back. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007	4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The rear seat leg-room is not for adults. Only small kids can fit back there. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007	2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	It is a sport compact car, so as one would expect, the rear seat is fairly difficult to get to, but once you are there, it is quite comfortable. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review

2016 Audi TT Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	The new Audi TT's seats rank among the best for support and comfort, something of a surprise since they are in a sports car, not a luxury sedan, and don't have many adjustments. The more powerful, more expensive TTS has front seats with adjustable side bolsters, but these aren't offered in the regular TT. The sport package for the BMW 2 Series includes seats with adjustable bolsters, yet they can't be made to fit my form as well as the Audi's do. Nor can those in larger, more expensive Audis. Puzzling. see full Audi TT review

2016 Audi TT Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Many people will probably leave the rear seat folded, as head room and legroom are both scant. People much over five feet in height simply won't fit. Even a BMW 2 Series has a considerably roomier rear seat. see full Audi TT review
