The Edge rear seat legroom is great. There are few crossovers with such good rear seat comfort and legroom. I did not want the third row, the lack of third row helps with rear legroom. see full Ford Edge review |

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 |

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 |

Hard and thin seat cushions. Legs would feel fatigue after a couple hours of driving. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
