| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2013 | 4dr Sedan 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Narrow car with narrow seats. If you are a taller/bigger person, expect that the seats will feel like doll furniture after an hour. see full Ford Fiesta review |

| 2011 | 4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD |
I was told that it is comfortable for a short ride but after 45 minutes my passengers were complaining about lack of room and comfort. see full Ford Fiesta review |
| 2011 | 4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD |
Smallish like all b-segment cars. see full Ford Fiesta review |
| 2011 | 4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD |
Its cramped, but seems about the same as any other car in its size range. It was easier to get in and out of compared to a Mazda 2 and about the same as current generation Prius C. I wouldn't take anyone long distances in the rear, but I didn't expect to. We have a 2009 Prius which is our long distance carry people car. I wanted something with good handling and economy that was well built and that's what I got. see full Ford Fiesta review |

while it felt my family of 5 comfortably, it might not fit others.... see full Ford Fiesta review |
| 2011 | 4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD |
Rear seat legroom is limited, especially if front seat passengers adjust their seats rearward. see full Ford Fiesta review |
| 2011 | 4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Basically, it is a two seater. Car seats and small children will fit ok in the back. Essentially it is a great commuter car. see full Ford Fiesta review |

rear seat leg room is tight. see full Ford Fiesta review |

Very tiny. Had to squeeze in. Not very comfortable for long term. Feels a bit crowded. see full Ford Fiesta review |

| 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 |

| 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 |
