Tell me what ya think?

Answer 1

Look at it this way-It's going to be your car, nobody else's right? If you like it and it runs and drives well, that's all that matters. If other people don't like it then they don't have to ride in it. You can wave at them as you pass them walking down the street.

There is a huge aftermarket for the P T Cruiser, so, you can always add things too it over time if you want to.

I know 2 people that have them and they both love them. There very cool little cars.

A lot of people say that they don't like my trucks or that they wouldn't have a truck like mine cause they're all too old. Who do you think they call first when they need to haul something or get stuck in the snow? Sometimes I help them out and sometimes I tell them to kiss my a**. It's nice having the upper hand sometimes.

Answer 2

nice PT, Keep it. if you like it who cares what other people think about them. They get good gas mileage, have lots of space and are a blast to drive. and PT Crusier are cool cars. Good luck with your decision.

Answer 3

I used to have one myself, and had to deal with the same thing. Truth is, I didn't care. If it wasn't totaled, I'd still be driving it three years later. I liked the way it looked, it has HUGE aftermarket support, and it was very roomy for a car it's size. The only thing that I found as a drawback, was the engine. A little low on power, but because of the aftermarket support, that can be fixed.

Answer 4

As long as you like it that's the only thing that's important who cares what other people think. I'm sure your friends won't think its a "loser cruiser" if they need a ride to the mall or somewhere.

Answer 5

i hate the Cruiser's look, i think it is dorky, but the performance is good and it is a clean car

if i were you i would look for a honda civic, they last forever, look good, good performance, and cheap ... or accord

Answer 6

I think they're very cool....retro!!!

Answer 7

why should you give a d**n what other people think.  Actually my wife just bought one a few days ago and she loves it.  totally digs the retro styling  (reminds her of our old 1940 ford hot rod).  We had an 04 SRT-4 (same thing as a neon) And 86,000 miles later. Not one problem to report.

Answer 8

The oxygen sensors tend togo bad on these a lot and the windshield crack a lot to , I would send it back and get a used honda , or a grand prix something like that. Butt the front crash rating are not bad my father hit a guy doing 83mph head on and only broke a couple of ribs> I woud definitely find something else for the money  

Answer 9

the crash rating on the pt cruiser were bad the chevy hhr scored better and looks 10 times better. don't be quick to buy a car. take the car to another shop and have them check it over for problems. that might cost you $100.00 or so. it is worth it. good luck

Answer 10

Personally I think they're really ugly, but do what you want.

Answer 11

I have known two people that owned PT's and they had lots of problems with them one bought new and one bought used and both spent a lot of money on repairs. This car is built on the same frame as a dodge neon if that tells u anything. I say stay away from this car. You do what you want do not let me change your mind just offering a opinion. good luck to u.
