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

2006 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2007 4dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
It was a pleasant surprise when we discovered how comfortable the front seats were for long road trips. They are contoured enough so I can lay the seat back, with a small pillow and take a nice long nap. This is probably highly subjective, but for us, the car seats have been just what we wanted. see full Ford Focus review
2007 2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD
The front seat has more room than one would expect. I have yet to encounter someone who has not fit inside comfortably, despite their size. Being over 6ft tall, I drive daily without feeling cramped or enclosed. see full Ford Focus review

Another two inches of legroom sure would be nice. see full Ford Focus review

Very average for its class. Not a place for grownups for long. see full Ford Focus review
2007 2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD
Not the best, but ok for a 2 door hatch. see full Ford Focus review
2006 2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD
Short seat track makes it tight for tall drivers and there is no "dead pedal" to rest your left foot on. see full Ford Focus review
