So I decided to get myself a PT Cruiser, after test driving
a bunch of different vehicles.

I used to own a 1961 Ford Falcon about 10 years ago, and
between now and then owned basic, run-of-the-mill Japanese sedans...
trying to be a gas saving, environment concious, responsible adult.
But I really miss being excited about my car, I miss manual transmissions.
So I've traded in the Accent and I'm picking up my 2005 PT Cruiser with manual tranmission tomorrow. Only frills are A/C, a CD player. (I'm having a place
install powerlocks and keyless entry because the Factory wouldn't give me those
without upgrading to the Touring model, which may have been worth it if I had
wanted 2-tone. But I didn't.)

Any regrets? Any advise? Anything I should know or be aware of?
I've read really good things about them, and also some horror
stories with people getting uber-lemons.... so any
comment for this Newbie would be appreciated!
