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

2005	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	The best thing is the flexibility of the cabin configuration.

2005	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	See above. When we are alone, we put the back seats all the way forward and the front seats all the way back, maximizing hauling space. When accompanied, we change it to maximize rear passenger spce. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

2006	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	Seat is okay on the interstate, but on a twisty road - forget it! Good thing it has a drivers door and a console, otherwise you would fall out or wind up in the passenger seat. Speaking of the console, what a joke!!! Idiot that designed that should be see full Chevrolet Equinox review
