| 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 |
| 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 |

| 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 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Hard and thin seat cushions. Legs would feel fatigue after a couple hours of driving. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
In coupe form, the rear seats are cramped and and things can be somewhat claustrophobic in the back. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The rear seat leg-room is not for adults. Only small kids can fit back there. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
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 most comfortable seats among all its rivals including Lexus, Jaguar, BMW, Audi, and Infiniti. Plenty of adjustments in the seat and the telescoping steering wheel. Plenty of front seat room for people 6 foot tall and more. Provides ample support. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Driving 4-5 hours in a row left no fatigue or discomfort in my back or legs. The seats are just firm enough but very supportive where they need to be. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review |

The back seat is very comfortable and provides good headroom and seating support. They fold down to provide additional storage room. My complaint is that it is not S class roomy in the back. Leg and foot room can be limited if sitting behind a tall driver see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review |
