2007 2dr Coupe 173-horsepower 2.4L I4

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 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
2006 2dr Coupe 171-horsepower 2.4L I4

not much room in the back if the front passengers has their seats all the way back see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2006 2dr Coupe supercharged 205hp 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD
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
