Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |

A little tight up front especially when compared to the M35 which is very roomy. see full Acura RL review |

2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2009 | 4dr Wagon 150-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The PT Cruiser is surprisingly roomy in the back seat, in terms of legroom and headroom. The backrest angle though is a bit too upright for full comfort. see full Chrysler PT Cruiser review |
