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 |

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

Its fast. Really fast. And the engine never feels like its straining. The turbo is definitely a welcome upgrade from the Supercharger. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |

The powertrain is wonderful. It is very smooth at idle once broken in, the performance is great. The shifter is quite smooth yet mechanical, and the power is addicting. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
