Only the HHR comes close. It's heavy too, and mpgs aren't any better. I have a buddy that had one. His wife used it for groceries and kiddy rides to the daycare before she went off to work. They replaced it with a Taurus X, the wagon like cross-over now out of production. The Ford with V-6, and 8 seats gets better mpg. Go figure.
We love our PT, and recommend it to anyone that wants a small good looking car. But if you want mpg, buy a Focus (or dare I say it?) Cobalt. Chrysler isn't going to get you mpgs...  |
I failed to add that we have a 08 Tribute with a 2.3L four. It has about 160 hp and gets about 30 mpg on the highway at 80 mph. Around town it's more like 23-24 mpg. Definitely better than the PT, but it doesn't do sharp turns any better than the PT.
