TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Ford Transit Connect
| 2015 Ford Transit Connect Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| The Transit Connect's second-row bench is roomy and fairly comfortable for two people, but somewhat tight for three. The Sienna has another half-foot of shoulder room. Also, the seatback in the Ford's second row does not recline. If you do want captain's chairs, well, they're not an option. The situation worsens in the Ford's third row, which is less substantial and much lower to the floor than the third-row seats in the Honda or the Toyota. Unlike the Transit Connect's second row, its third-row seat does slide fore-aft (about six inches) and recline. Slide it all the way back, and legroom becomes almost generous. Still, it isn't a place many adults would want to spend much time. On top of this, it should be easier to open and close the Transit Connect's sliding doors and to get into its third row. The second row doesn't tip or slide forward like those in conventional minivans. Instead, it must be pushed to the floor in a fairly difficult two-step procedure. see full Ford Transit Connect 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 |
