What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Chevrolet Volt

2013 Chevrolet Volt Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD	Really comfortable heated bucket seats. see full Chevrolet Volt review
2012	4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD	The front seats offer very good support and the seat bottoms are designed for tall drivers.. see full Chevrolet Volt review

2013 Chevrolet Volt Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD	Rear seat is adequate, but it is difficult to install or remove a child seat. The cushion is too firm to make this easy. see full Chevrolet Volt review
2014	4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD	The car is only a four seter so there is no room if you have five people and with the front seats back all the way it is a little tight. see full Chevrolet Volt review
2013	4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD	The rear seats have limited leg room. A forward facing child car seat (Safety 1st Air Protect) is fine but to install it rear facing would make the passenger seat almost unusable and being a 4 seat there is no option to install in the middle of the rear which i find allows in many cars a good way to keep everyone safe & comfortable. see full Chevrolet Volt review
2012	4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD	Front seats are semi-hard and covered in strange material. I could see people larger than myself having issues with them. see full Chevrolet Volt review
2012	4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD	No power seat in a $46k car?? Get real, Chevy. Once you get used to them, though, both front and rear seats are comfortable for up to an hour or so. Longer than that and I need different lower back support that it doesn't have. But they are heated which is nice and it's comfortable leather. A few tweaks and/or an optional chair & this would be a non-issue. see full Chevrolet Volt review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt

2010 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

2010 Chevrolet Cobalt Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	2dr Coupe turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	With only 2 doors, the rear seats are pretty much useless. Obviously, if you really have to, you can fit people back there, but no one will want to climb back there when everyone at work is going out to lunch. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review
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
