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

2008 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Similar to the front seats, super comfortable and soft. A lot of leg room with an average-sized driver + passenger up front. Rear moonroof gives off the feel of a huge ceiling. see full Lexus ES review

2010 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Not very supportive. Felt like a hollowed out barrel. Only support was on the outside edges. see full Lexus ES review
2008 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
the seams in a seat should run front to rear vs. left to right this would make the seat more comfortable. the Toyota Camry leather seats are definitely more comparable... I think Lexis wanted a sportier looking seat but sacrificed comfort in doing see full Lexus ES review

6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
There is simply not enough legroom and three passengers will probably feel very cramped in the back as well. see full Lexus ES review
