Mulii adjustable power seat with very soft leather. The side support could be a bit better. I loved the soport seats but they are only offered on the V6 model which is much more thirsty. see full Saab 9-3 review

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
