2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
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 |

2012 Volvo C30 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||

2012 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual FWD |
The front seats are wonderful. I tend to get stiff and sore when I sit too long in a car, especially my old VW GTI and our other VW Passat wagon. These seats in the C30 are very comfortable and I felt good getting out after a long drive. see full Volvo C30 review |
2011 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Excellent support for very long drives. Passengers in the rear say the same. see full Volvo C30 review |
