2009 4dr Wagon 150-horsepower 2.4L I4

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

Can seat 2 adults comfortably. Plenty of leg room and visibility. see full Chrysler PT Cruiser review
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2022 Volkswagen Taos

2022 Volkswagen Taos Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2022 Volkswagen's "bigger for Americans" strategy continues with the Taos. Even though the new crossover is the smallest VW offers in North America, its rear passengers enjoy a seat set comfortably high off the floor and plenty of room for their heads, shoulders, and legs. On their spec sheets the Kia Seltos and Chevrolet TrailBlazer offer more combined legroom, but I observed more space in the VW. The top two trim levels include rear air vents. Why, then, would someone spend a few thousand more for the Tiguan? Perhaps they occasionally need a third-row seat but don't want a crossover the size of the Atlas. The Tiguan's second-row seat isn't quite as roomy as the Taos's, but unlike the latter it can slide and recline. see full Volkswagen Taos review
