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 |

Hard and thin seat cushions. Legs would feel fatigue after a couple hours of driving. 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 |

The rear seat leg-room is not for adults. Only small kids can fit back there. 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 |
2006 | 2dr Coupe 171-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
not much room in the back if the front passengers has their seats all the way back see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
2006 | 2dr Coupe supercharged 205hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
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 |

2008 | 4dr Sedan 143-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Interior and cargo space are roomy for a compact car. Lots of head & leg room for front and back seats. Easy to get in and out of front seats. Trunk is big. For a small car that's easy to park there's plenty of interior space. see full Suzuki SX4 review |

2010 | 4dr Hatch 150-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual 4WD |
Very little room for driver and passengers. Driver is almost touching windshield by a forehead. A small leg room too especially for driver and rear passengers. see full Suzuki SX4 review |
2009 | 4dr Hatch 143-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic 4WD |
I will say the rear seat was fairly comfortable although my hair was brushing up against the ceiling. Impossible to put 4 people in this car comfortably. see full Suzuki SX4 review |
