2011 Dodge Grand Caravan Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Minivan, ext. 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Nice car, but front seats could be better. Close to a deal breaker. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review

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

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
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
