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 |

2012 | 4dr Hatch 107-horsepower Electric 1-speed automatic FWD |
The front and rear seats are very comfortable. The back can be cramped with three passengers. The SL has heated front and rear seats which works great and are needed as the car heater is very slow to initially get warm. The heated steering wheel is also a nice touch. The seat fabric is soft but the light color might not wear well. see full Nissan LEAF review |
