2008 Chevrolet Cobalt Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

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
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Nissan Sentra

2012 Nissan Sentra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
The Nissan Sentra offers a smooth, quiet ride and about as much passenger (and cargo) room as you'll find in a compact sedan. Open the door, and the SL's leather-trimmed interior appears luxurious. Sit down, though, and the illusion crumbles. Unlike those in the Altima, the Sentra's flat, firm seats provide little in the way of comfort or support. A tilt adjustment for the driver seat would help, but one is not offered. The Civic's seats aren't much cushier, but their shape provides better support. For the best seats in the segment, check out the Chevrolet Cruze and Ford Focus. see full Nissan Sentra review
