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 |

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 |

Hard and thin seat cushions. Legs would feel fatigue after a couple hours of driving. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |

This the best point of this car. The leather, from Scotland, is the best I have experienced in a car... And the room is such that my 6 foot son feels separate from me when along for the drive. see full Lincoln MKS review |

Front seats are the most comfortable ones I have sat in, the lumbar adjustment is great, not only goes in and out ( harder / softer ), it also has an adjustment for up aand down. see full Lincoln MKS review |
