2006 Acura RSX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2006 | 2dr Hatch 201-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
The rear seat is not much use if the front passengers are over 6ft. Very little head/leg room. But you don’t buy this type of car to haul 4 people around. But in a pinch I’ve had 4 in there, and I’m 6’4”. see full Acura RSX review |
2009 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 |
2008 | 4dr Wagon 150-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
I have a bad leg ,the high seat ,wide door opening and extra leg make it easy for me to swing my leg in and out. It has more room than lots of other cars. see full Chrysler PT Cruiser review |
2008 | 2dr Convertible turbocharged 180hp 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Can seat 2 adults comfortably. Plenty of leg room and visibility. see full Chrysler PT Cruiser review |
