2014 Chevrolet SS Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2015	Despite its slightly more compact exterior, the Chevrolet SS has a roomier back seat than the Dodge Charger. Rear headroom is in unexpectedly short supply in the latter. The Chevrolet also has a couple more inches of rear hiproom, so three adults won't have to get quite as cozy in its back seat. Both cars have about 16 cubic feet of trunk space. A good amount, but you'll find as much in most midsize sedans. Unlike the Charger's, the SS's rear seat cannot fold to expand the trunk. But a pass-through in the center is far larger than most. see full Chevrolet SS review

2014 Chevrolet SS Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	The front seats in the Chevrolet SS are comfortable. They also look like they'd provide generous lateral support, but don't, at least not for those of us who aren't built like linebackers. Thankfully the upper seat back features some synthetic suede trim, and this prevents sliding in hard turns. Still, a car with such high handling limits should have seats with much larger and more effective side bolsters--like those available in the Dodge Charger. see full Chevrolet SS review

2008 Chevrolet Cobalt Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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

2008 Chevrolet Cobalt Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
