People have mentioned in other threads that the visibility out the rear windscreen is crap.

Karlos put pt cruiser in the search box on the left and change the date posted to last year - you will find several threads about them.

this is why PT's get a lot of hate
they look like a car from the hotrod era, but are just an ordinary family wagon with quality issues
& the restyled second model from 04 on spoiled the retro looks
if instead they had a RWD 4.0L v8, they would be one of the most loved modern cars by the knucle dragger section of car fans

It's OK.I know you like Chrysler products.I'm just trying to tell OP to get something that's more sensible than a PT Cruiser. But, each to their own.

LOL.fair enough.Not blindly a Chrysler fan,Manley a Jeep fan,i stick up for them as there is so much crap on here from people that are idiots.i was foolish enough to listen to these people,then decided to check them my self a couple of years back and have never looked back.i don't really know that much about the PT Cruiser but i figure its good to have something a bit different than all the Jap stuff

Hey on this subject. In the late 90's Toyota built a car called a "classic" I saw one whilst in Japan--it looked like a big 1930's english car -even had the chrome bumpers.

Jeeps have good power, which is what you need off road when you get in a sticky situation. Jeeps represent excellent value for money too and if I was looking at buying a 4x4, the V8 Grand Cherokee would be my first choice.even though they have no chassis.
But, anyway, sorry, I hate the look of a PT Cruiser, if different looks is what you are after, there's many options out there.like Fiat.things.for example.Mazda just happened to be the first car I could think of.

My sister had one. She bought it because she (surprisingly) liked the look of if. She constantly complained though about how underpowered it was and I must admit on the open road it was very evident. Also her big gripe was the turning lock on it. Really hard to take into the supermarket car park. Eventually ended up costing her a lot of money in repairs. The whole thing was a nightmare.

Finding out a car was underpowered would be something I would have thought you would find out on a test drive. I remember when they first came out I thought they had a way too small motor for the 1930s car they were supposed to look like.

Yea . imagine my shock & horror when I found out they only have a small 4cyl in them. Was hoping for at least a small v6

Yeah when you test drive a car, often there are some things that don't appeal, and other things that do. So people may go ahead and buy on the 'balance' of likes and dislikes, but after a while longer some things they thought they would get used to, really start to annoy. Its life.

We have a customer at work that has a pt cruiser he says its the biggest mistake hes ever made buying it. constant problems hes spent over 4g in repairs with us lucky he bought mechanical insurance with it. its had alot of electrical faults and the motors going to go next, it has really bad piston slap when you start it up cold in the morning.
