2011 Nissan Rogue Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT FWD	I'm over 6' tall with long legs, and I have plenty of room. I can sit in the rear seat after I set the driver's seat at a comfortable position, as well. I wish the lower cushion height/angle could be adjusted, but still very comfortable. see full Nissan Rogue review
2010	4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	holds my three young kids comfortably, like the flat foot room. I don't like the front seats, I find them too flat and I don't like that they dont tilt back like my TSX see full Nissan Rogue review
2010	4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT FWD	Not great, not awful. Compared to my previous BMW 535i, it's awful, but for the class of vehicle it's OK for shorter distances, which is mostly what I use it for. see full Nissan Rogue review
2010	4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT AWD	Picked up one of my fat friends while on the test ride and had him ride in the back. Him and his wife were very comfortable. Lots of leg and foot room. see full Nissan Rogue review
2010	4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT AWD	Lots of leg room and the drivers seat is very adjustable and comfortable. I have wide shoulders and the leather seats are very comfortable for me. see full Nissan Rogue review

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
