2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	2dr Convertible turbocharged 230hp 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I have logged many miles with family in tow. There is ample space in both the front and rear. Actually surprising considering the diminuitive size of the PT. The extra leg room for the rear passengers comes at the expense of cargo space. Tiny trunk that is difficult to access if you are tall. Costco runs are always interesting. see full Chrysler PT Cruiser review

2007 Dodge Durango Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD	With the power adjustable front seat, both myself (at just over 6 feet tall) and my wife (5 foot 5) can find plenty of leg room. The additional seat width is appreciated for me (over our past viechle) as I have long arms & need more elbow room than most. see full Dodge Durango review
2007	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD	With a growing family, we needed 3 rows of seats that can actually haul people of normal size. It seems the 3rd row of some SUVs are made for 10 year olds. This viechle fits 8 people in a pinch, 7 comfortably. see full Dodge Durango review
2006	4dr SUV 230-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range	I am small, but regardless, there is plenty of room for comfort. The front cabin is so roomy I tend to lose things in it! see full Dodge Durango review
