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 |

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 |

Front seats are semi-hard and covered in strange material. I could see people larger than myself having issues with them. see full Chevrolet Volt review |

No power seat in a $46k car?? Get real, Chevy. Once you get used to them, though, both front and rear seats are comfortable for up to an hour or so. Longer than that and I need different lower back support that it doesn't have. But they are heated which is nice and it's comfortable leather. A few tweaks and/or an optional chair & this would be a non-issue. see full Chevrolet Volt review |
