2009 Chevrolet Cobalt Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
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
