Reggie,
Sorry, but you are way off base when you say that the PT Cruiser seems
tiny compared to the Beetle. While The PT Cruiser is shorter than a
Nissan Sentra, it has interior passenger space comparable to a Lincoln
Town Car:

Road & Track did an article comparing the PT Cruiser, Mini Cooper, and
Beetle he
http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....article_id=418
There is a nice chart with diagrams and data he
http://www.roadandtrack.com/reviews/...retro_data.pdf
Incidentally, the front seat leg room for the PTC is shown as 43.0",
but that is deceptive because the seat in the PTC is high, the actual
leg comfort level is much better than the number suggests. My Saturn
SW2 had 42.5", but the PTC has a lot more leg room than the Saturn did.

Likewise, the back seat comfort is much better in the PTC, 4" more than
the Beetle. Plus, the back seats are actually higher than the front
seats.

And of course there is no comparing the trunk/cargo space, the PTC has
about 3X as much maximum cargo space.

Robin,
That is not the first time I was way off base. Thanks for highlighting
my latest screw up.
