at 6' 3" the rear seating with sun roof is a little tight. If you are taller than me do not plan to spend much time in the rear. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review

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

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
