2006 Chevrolet Cobalt Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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 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

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
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 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 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
2006 2dr Coupe 171-horsepower 2.4L I4

not much room in the back if the front passengers has their seats all the way back see full Chevrolet Cobalt review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Powertrain of the 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt

2006 Chevrolet Cobalt Powertrain: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
powerful on take off, passing and on hills. smoth shifting, no hunting for gears. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.2L I4
5-speed manual FWD
It has decent performance. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007 2dr Coupe 173-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
The 2.4L engine in the non-super SS is very peppy. The VVT makes this engine feel like it is making much more than 175 HP, expecially at high rpms. The power that it delivers in relation to its fuel economy is quite remarkable. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2007 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
The 2.2L Cobalt is very strong for such a small, N/A motor. The 2.4L is strong, but the 2.0L supercharged motor really shines. All of the motors are slightly underrated, with the 2.0L supercharged being highly underrated. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2006 4dr Sedan 171-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual FWD
When I gear down in my manual 5-speed Cobalt SS, the performance gives me more than adequate power for most normal driving conditions. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review

4-speed automatic FWD
plenty of power see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2006 4dr Sedan 171-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
The SS sedan was getting ripped by many news groups and press alike that the sedan (non-supercharged) was not worthy as an SS but I beg to differ. Take off the traction control and the car really takes off. Faster then any Carola S or Civic. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
2006 2dr Coupe supercharged 205hp 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD
While the gearing for 1st gear is weak, the remaining gears are just right for gunning it or being slow and gentle. It is absolutely the best of both worlds when it comes to power and fuel economy. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review

Fast accel, great brakes. good handling and accident avoidance. need that here on phoenix freeway. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
