tall people with cobalts

Hey guys,

I'm considering a Cobalt for a new car and I have been doing some research. So when I was at the Chevy dealer I sat in a sedan (what i want) and being 6'3 I had to have the seat well back so that I would comfortable and safe to drive. Now preferably all the way back was the best but when I went to look in the back there wasn't even enough room to put your feet down. I was kind of disappointed by that fact that my Cavalier has more legroom back there than the Cobalt. How are the rest of you tall people in your Cobalt?

I might even wait for the next generation cobalt.....

i'm at 6'1'', I fit well for that. However, I noticed at track day when i threw my helmet on and gained those extra few inches I had to recline to seat so my head wasn't cranked. The back seat is kinda unless in the coupe, i stuffed 2 people back there for awhile but thats been it.

im 6'0 and i have never had an issue. it all depends on how you like to drive. i dont like to gangster lean in my car so i prefer to drive in a more upright position(better for spontaneous racing). this position wouldnt be good for an extremely tall person though.

unless you have kids and stuff, i wouldnt base your car choice on how comfortable the person in the back will be. its your comfort that matters the most.

this thread is called "tall people with cobalts" lol
all the tall people are gonna check in

its kinda funny, im a kinda solid built guy, and people often say they dont like how the non recaro seats dont hold you as firm.

i gotta say, at 6'2 and 245, they fit me like a glove. and the recaros i sat in were a little squishy

Damn there are a bunch of big ***** in here. But then, I'm probably meaner then most of you so I guess it doesn't matter.
