2006 Chevrolet Cobalt Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||

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 |

It fits me perfectly. Actually, so does the rear, but I bought a coupe. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |

The rear seat leg-room is not for adults. Only small kids can fit back there. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |

In coupe form, the rear seats are cramped and and things can be somewhat claustrophobic in the back. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |

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 |

The front is great, but you have to be in a car seat or a small person to not mind the back seat. Little legroom, small seats. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |

not much room in the back if the front passengers has their seats all the way back see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |

The second row captain's chairs are roomy and comfortable. The third row bench seat has a surprising amount of space, in particular with the 2nd row seats slid forward some. see full Chevrolet Traverse review |

The seats we have on our LT are fine but the headrest on both cars I've had jut out too far and cannot be adjusted back far enough to be comfortable. This is particularly uncomfortable on longer trips. see full Chevrolet Traverse review |

Although the rear captain seats are quite comfortable, I do not like how they roll forward. There is a track in the floor in which the rear seats fold and slide up behind the front seats. All I notice when in the back seat is how extremely difficult it is to clean out the mud and grit and salt (I live in Canada, we use salt on our roads) that gets left behind in the track from passenger footwear. see full Chevrolet Traverse review |
