What is your opinion of a PT Cruiser?

Answer 1

My mother, who is a paramedic, calls it a "coffin on wheels".

If you want to buy a car that's easy do die in, why not get a Tata Nano, the $2500 car from India?  It's way smaller!  :)

Really, they are so unsafe and not even good looking cars.

Get a Mercedes!

Answer 2

ugly

Answer 3

I just bought a 2008 Surf Blue PT Cruiser LX last month and I LOVE it!  

This past weekend I went on a three hour road trip to a cat show in Yakima and it was the perfect car for traveling in.  The back seats fold up and can be removed.  I removed the wider section and even with two suitcases, two boxes of cat supplies, a large display board, five cat crates, my laptop, a cooler and myself and a passenger there was still plenty of room in my car.  The back window wasn't even blocked at all!  The car is built for hauling stuff - it comes with several hooks to attach bungee cords to so fastening loads is quite simple.

The car handled great over the steep mountain passes - far better than expected.  We also averaged 26MPG which is 2MPG's more than what's stated for highway MPG.  Normally on long drives my back and neck start to ache.  I was totally comfortable the entire ride and so was my passenger.

Personally, I love the look of the car and I've gotten loads of compliments from friends, neighbours and even strangers in parking lots as I'm getting out of it.  It's a fun car to drive and I love that it can easily be converted to be able to haul a lot of cargo when you need to.  I recently brought home a 6' x 3' x 2' ferret cage in three sections - couldn't have done that in my old Toyota sedan!  

It's a great car - I'd recommend it to anyone.  Hopefully you'll go with this review and not those who don't even OWN one - or probably any car for that matter!

Answer 4

There ok

Answer 5

P.T. means Piece of Trash!

Answer 6

I've worked on and driven a few of them. They're ok but are prone to problems. They also get kind of cramped and uncomfortable especially on long trips. There are deffinately better options. they are like the scion xb as they are built for the look and not the functionality.

Answer 7

looks like a hearse

Answer 8

It's a Nice Lil car wagon-like but still pretty user friendly... it was built off the Dodge Neon sedan platform and is no longer made/built- after 2008... i have not yet heard if Chrysler/Dodge will redesign it or if they have all together retired that model...

You should be able to find one pretty easy...

Best wishes!

Answer 9

They're c**p.  Chryslers go through transmissions like candy on Halloween.  Not to mention the Cruiser is ugly and and has abysmal safety ratings.

Answer 10

It is funky and cute and I like that it looks like a mini-hearse. I always wanted a purple one or the bright red. Sadly, my spouse doesn't agree! Sigh...  =(

Answer 11

I work for a car rental agency, and we hear many complaints about them.  The biggest is that there's a huge blind spot on both sides of them, because of the way their made.  Others complain that they're underpowered, are not for long rides, and just plain ugly.  My company considers them as midsize cars; but I rent them out as an economy car (or to people that have pissed me off) just to get them on the road and out of my lot.

Answer 12

a small car with alot a class. the rear table in the liftgate comes in handy when at the beach and the colored dash board gives it a since of class aswell.
