Sedan vs. Coupe - Ride Quality

What's the difference in ride quality between a Cobalt sedan and a Cobalt coupe? I've only driven a Cobalt sedan and a Pursuit sedan. Do you sit as high in the coupe as in the sedan? Is the suspension any different?

Any input is appreciated!

Brandon

I didn't really notice any difference. I tested both cars out before buying my Coupe to see what the difference was. I was real close to buying the four door because I liked the idea of having friends with their own doors instead of b*tching about climbing over the front seats. LOL! But the dealership only had it in white and ALL sedans in the Dallas area come with Automatics. Ugh.... That's one area where most local dealerships don't understand their customers. I love manuals and will always want one. And when I looked at the dealership where I bought my car and saw that they had 4 Manual transmission Cobalts in stock, I knew I was going to get a car there. Anyways, I have also recently ridden a freiends rental sedan Cobalt and it rides real well too. HTH

They have the same suspension, so the ride is pretty much the same.

The coupe will sit lower but the sedan seems to have much improved ride quality.

Both my SS and Sedan the difference is apples and oranges.

i have the sport suspension in my coupe, so it obviously is better
the coupe has a lower center of gravity

im 6'5", and i fit in the coupe a lot better
so it was an easy choice for me
