unless hes over 5'4" tall and wants to have his whole ass on the seat. those are the most uncomfortable, gutless wonders ive had the displeasure of renting. the seats are about half as deep as a normal car, and it felt like it would pick up and fly away with a strong breeze. im 6'3" tall, hit my head on the door frame when checking for traffic behind me in the blindspot, hit my knees on the steering wheel with the seat all the way back, and shoulder was touching the side of the car the whole time i sat in it. i wouldnt sell the pt cruiser to my mother in law.

So I take it your mother-in-law is at least 6'3" as well.
