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 2dr Convertible turbocharged 230hp 2.4L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD
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

2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range
Adults do not fit well in the back seat comfortably, and the rear access doors, while a cool design, lack functionality(no handle to release the door except on the inside) see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2008 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range
Too stiff and too upright with no adjustments see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review

Difficulty entering/exiting rear passenger area see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review

It is uncomfortable, small, and awkardly designed. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range
Back seat is not built to have adults riding there. May be ok for children but is difficult to put a child seat in the rear as well. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
6-speed manual AWD w/low range
Cramped rear seating - putting 3 people back there would be really pushing it. The only bonus is that the rear seats fold down flat (I love that). see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range
Rear suicide doors are cool - unless you have to use them. Easier than no door, but hard to access for adults or kid seats. Really a 2 person back seat, 3 is not good. Rear seat visibility is poor, front view blocked and side posts take out side view. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
