wife's PT

Wife's old Jag died and we wanted to replace it with a SUV/CUV. Found this PT on line with only 16K miles at $10.6K. Also it's the Touring model which includes a nicer interior and more standard content including nice alloys. I think it's a bit slow and I wish the gas mileage was better, but she's happy with it and so far it's been reliable. If the wife's happy everyone is happy.

Cruising in my Cruiser

The first thing I noticed was my absence from the gas station. Fun to drive with lots of room. Like the power driver's seat and the power sun roof. The rear seats being able to remove completely is really a good idea. Stereo has great sound. Lots of power for me.

Poor turning radius, under powered, stiff handling, inadequate braking, over all a loser.

PT LOSER

Under no circumstances should you buy this vehicle. It's the biggest piece of crap you could ever own. It doesn't matter what year you buy they are all pieces of crap. The motor mounts will constantly go out the AC will constantly go out it will constantly overheat oil leaks transmission leaks especially. Please whatever you do I am begging you to not buy this car you will regret it. You've been warned so if you buy it and it turns out to be a piece of crap just like I said it is then you have nobody to blame but yourself. Save your money by something else.

Got this car for my sweet 16, and I love it! So fun to drive, a great starter car. Everyone told me that Pt Cruisers were for old people, but its surf blue color makes it very chic. Great to drive for long amounts of time and listen The Beatles in. :)
