2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||

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 |
