2007 Chevrolet Cobalt Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
2006	2dr Coupe 171-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	seats are pretty comfortable and lots of leg room see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2006	2dr Coupe 145-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	It fits me perfectly. Actually, so does the rear, but I bought a coupe. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
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

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Toyota Yaris

2008 Toyota Yaris Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I can adjust the seat back so I can reach all controls with just arm movement. I can raise the seat so my thighs are fully supported right out to my knees. see full Toyota Yaris review
2008	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	For the size of car, there is a lot of front seat room see full Toyota Yaris review
2008	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Have driven Tampa - Durham multiple times (11-12 hrs each way). Seat feels REAL nice to me. see full Toyota Yaris review
2007	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	There's lots of space around you in the front seats, moreso than other cars I have owned. Lots of modern cars have a big, tall center console that extends back to the rear seats and up to your elbow. The Yaris is not like this at all. Only the gear stick separates the driver and passenger. see full Toyota Yaris review
2007	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	More room than many mid-size cars see full Toyota Yaris review
2007	4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	The seats are soft but supportive, and hug the driver firmly in place. The result is a real sense of connection with the car. see full Toyota Yaris review
2007	4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	long distance comfort see full Toyota Yaris review
2007	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	more leg room than a lot of larger cars see full Toyota Yaris review

2008	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Not comfortable to sit in for more than an hour. see full Toyota Yaris review
2008	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The back seats are extremely cramped when slid forward. They must be slid forward when a non-tiny amount of cargo needs to be put in the back. see full Toyota Yaris review
2008	4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	incofortable even for only two adults. The passanger in the center will be very inconfortable when tree passengers are in rear seat. see full Toyota Yaris review
2008	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Ha ha ha ha! Perhaps a small dog would be comfortable back there. The only good thing about the back seat is that I've read it is not too hard to remove it entirely! see full Toyota Yaris review
2008	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Small in the back, but the seats can adjust, recline and fold down for cargo. see full Toyota Yaris review
2007	4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Very narrow. see full Toyota Yaris review
2007	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	On long drives, it is very uncomfortable in the lumbar area. see full Toyota Yaris review
