Obviously, if you come here, we're going to tell you how great the car is, because who would frequent a place like this but us? If you like the car and some others (I considered the RAV4 and CRV) go to a dealership and test drive all three - no obligations. Then see which one you love the best, and compare independent sources (like Road and Track, etc.) - there is another post with a lot of independent praise on the new GT. You might also consider price comparisons - I think you can get some GREAT deals on the PT Cruiser now, mine was MSRP of $25,975 and I got it for $21,727 including rebate. GOOD LUCK!
