Rear passenger legroom in arrow

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.




I haven't been in a 140, but the club I belong to owns a 67 Arrow and
the leg room in the rear is virtually non-existent, especially if the
front seaters have legs longer than 20". After owning a Skylane, the
Arrow is terribly cramped, especially in the rear. It really is
suitable only for kids.

There was a "stretch" somewhere along the line. I know my 1977 turbo Arrow
III has it. Back seats are "ok" (none of them are going to be great).
Don't have my data books here to know exactly when the extra 18" or so were
put in.
