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 |

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 |
