Default Re: Why did you go with the PT?

I was looking for a fun, quick, affordable car. I was thinking srt4 but all the ones I found were beat to crap, was thinking a wrx, but couldn't find one in my price range.

We had my lebaron convertible and a vw new beetle convertible which worked out fine when it was just us and the dog, but when my partners son moved in with us we needed a more comfy car for all 3 of us going somewhere.

Went to Carmax to look arround and saw the pt cruiser gt sitting there. I'll admit that I really always thought they were fugly, but they were starting to grow on me. We took it out for a drive and I was suprised when it spun out with the traction controll on.

We went in and talked price and I walked out of there with a nice shiny pt gt. It is an 03 and only had 39k miles when I bought it a year and a half ago.
