I currently fly a 1969 140 and am considering buying an Arrow. Is there
more leg room for rear passengers in the Arrow than the 140? Is there a
difference in the pre 72 and post 72 Arrows with the longer fuselage as far
as legroom. I'm tall and need the seat back which doesn't leave any leg room
in the 140. I've been told the PA-28 line is all about the same but I have a
hard time believing a true 4 seater would have as little leg room in back as
the 140.

My 1969 Cardinal has 14 inches(just measured it) from the front edge
of the back seat to the back of the front seat with it adjusted for
flight. I am 5'11" tall. There is plenty of room for children to sit
in the floor and use the seat to play board games, as my niece and
nephew have done this. Cardinal RG's have the same cabin dimensions.
Cardinals are wide too. Beech Sundowners and Sierras are also very
spacious inside.
