Post I owned a Pinto

I owned a British Ford pinto. It had a big six cyclinder engine. It could get up and move. I liked the car. More comfortable than any Camry I ever rode in. I drove a Camry from Spokane to Ellensburg once. My back was killing me by the time I got to Ellensburg. We have a PT Cruiser now, a comfortable little car to ride around in.

Keith,

You liked the PT? I got one as a loaner once and I didn't care for it at all. I drive a Dodge Grand Caravan and found the PT much too small and cramped. If I could afford it, I'd get a Hummer. Actually, I've had several hummers...but that's another story.

It seems like all foreign made cars have seats about as comfortable as sitting on a stone wall. The Ford Crown Vic I had up until last year beat anything I had in the past...
We Americans want cars with spongy shocks and seats that sink down to the floor boards

Post We really enjoy.

We really enjoy the PT Cruiser. Easy to get in and out of. Plenty of head room. The Caravan would probably do a little better with more room over all. The Cruiser drives a little stiff. We traded in our Crown Vic for a Cruiser. We like it better than Crown Vic. But the Crown Vic had a softer ride. But the Crown Vic is definitely harder to get in out of. My back would kill me after riding for half hour or more in the Crown Vic. Don't have that problem with the Cruiser.

I would imagine the PT cruser has more room in the rear to store your walker
