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 |

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 |

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 |
