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

2006 Mazda Mazda5 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD
Rear seats fit adults or kids in car seats adequately, especially for an economy car. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006 4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Great, height adjustable driver seat, with good lumbar support. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006 4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Second row seats have lots of room, can slide fore and aft, and can recline. The passenger seats up in a chair-like posture, with great support for thighs. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006 4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Tons of rear seat room, and the second row seats can slide back/forth and recline. Third row is reserved for small children, however. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006 4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD
Can easily and comfortably seat six (6!) adults in a small package with storage space remaining. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006 4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD
The rear doors are the sliding type, which is the most practical (and brilliant) type of rear doors for children. I also like the fact that the middle seats recline and slide, they have storage under the cushions, and a third row of usable seating! see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006 4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4

Very practical and roomy for the size of car. see full Mazda Mazda5 review

4-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Flexible layout. Individual captains chairs in the middle row provides ample space. 3rd row is best left for kids under pre teens, but a short trip would be ok for adults. 2nd and 3rd rows seats can be folded down flat individually. see full Mazda Mazda5 review

2007 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD
With the seat all back, there is not much room for anyone over six feet tall. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006 4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Tight fit once the front seats are slid back. Third row is useless if the second row is slid back. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
