2010 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

2010 Chevrolet Cobalt Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	2dr Coupe turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	With only 2 doors, the rear seats are pretty much useless. Obviously, if you really have to, you can fit people back there, but no one will want to climb back there when everyone at work is going out to lunch. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
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

2009 Hyundai Genesis Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Few cars offer the marriage of rear wheel drive performance with this amount of back seat room for the longer ride (travelling) with 4 adults. see full Hyundai Genesis review
2010	4dr Sedan 375-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Very supportive, easily adjusted for that "just right" feeling. Very comfortable for extended periods of time. see full Hyundai Genesis review
2010	4dr Sedan 375-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Very comfortable and supportive seats see full Hyundai Genesis review
2009	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Lots of room without sacrificing rear seat room. see full Hyundai Genesis review
2009	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	No discomfort noted on several trips of 250+ miles. Adjustable lumbar support is very nice (not just in/out, but also up/down). see full Hyundai Genesis review
2009	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Lots of leg room and width. Air conditioning and heat controls that can be controlled separately from the front passengers choices. Rear window shade. see full Hyundai Genesis review

2009 Hyundai Genesis Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 375-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	almost Teutonic front seats see full Hyundai Genesis review
2009	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	First, I am a tall person and the seatbelt height adjustment does not go high enough, so if an accident should occur I believe that the shoulder belt will slip off. Also, the seats could be built more comfortable, more sporty. see full Hyundai Genesis review
