So yeah, I went on one of my little... adventures, and came home with this.   2007 PT Cruiser. I know... the rims are horrid.. that will be changing hopefully sooner then later. -------------

^out of them all, it had the lowest miles, the carfax was a 92(the others were mid-high 80's) and its really roomy.. like surprisingly roomy. and, the back seats fold down.  actually, the MPG isn't bad, I drove over 175mi in it today, and it is barley under a 3/4 tank. -------------

They are very roomy. My stepdad is a very tall guy, and that's what won him over with the PT Cruiser. BUT, unless they have greatly improved recently, the mpg you got today was misleading. ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

| The bass player in my band has one. He loves it. His brother calls it the PT Loser, but it does do a good job of hauling stuff. He can fit two guitars, two basses, and the whole drum set in cases in the back of that thing, AND have room for 3 people. It's actually remarkable. |

Yeah I didn't want a new car when I went down there, I just wanted to see what my options were. After everything came back they showed me 5 cars. Honda Civic - Had over 75K miles in less then 4 years. Didn't like that Volkswagen Pissat - Over priced, and didn't like it too much... Hyundai Electra - That car was awesome, but the interior was terrible, and the seats felt awful and there were some scratches that were very noticeable on the back bumper Mitsubishi Lancer - The color was ugly, but the car was awesome, seemed a little... gutless without the turbo, but it was incredible, the only thing that was wrong with it is that after 1 week I would of had to of brought it back and trade it back for something else(damn kick backs) PT Cruiser - Big and fat.. Though I did like the interior alot, there was no feeling of that cheap in it, it had less then 35K miles, and it was one of the cheaper ones out of all of them, also very surprisingly again, it was very roomy. I know last night I had 5 people in the car fitting comfortably no... squishiness thats what I really liked about it, but didn't get that chance to really get 5 people in it at the dealership. also another cool thing is the back seats fold down, so If I ever have to pass out or have company, all it takes is a simple pull and a push and the seats fold down. -------------

That Jeep is crap.
Anything with that distinctive grill must be able to tow a light field gun, drive over a muddy field, and preferably be dropped from a C-47. And have at least a foot of ground clearance. Is that thing still a concept car? I'm fairly sure Ive seen them on the roads. Thought it was a modification the first time, you know a Jeep Low Rider. KBK |

I was pretty close to buying a PT myself, but the salesman was pissing me off with the "What can I do to put you in this car today?" bit- to the point where he called his manager over to assure me that they were giving me the best possible deal on it....they REALLY wanted to sell the thing. I asked him why he wanted to sell it so bad- he said "Because if I don't, someone else will." I walked. Less than a month later, I picked up an '02 Chevy Blazer, and I'm sure glad I didn't get suckered into that mess. ------------- ? |
