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

2010 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The headrest position is horrible for long trips. Felt like my head was being pushed forward. see full Chevrolet Traverse review
