Should I buy a PT Cruiser?

[PT-ERA]

I've had my PT for over a year now and had absolutely no oil problems. Find a used one you like, test drive it, talk to the owner, if possible, check maintenance records, and then decide. Check for TSB's or NHTSA (sp?) for info on the PT. [?]

The PT hands down has to be one of the best cars on the market right now. Great reliability, good looks, high personalization ability, roomy interior, and just a great car to drive. You will be very pleased with the turbo or the N/A.

I would say that you will wonder why you did not get one sooner once you have one. We've had ours for 2 yrs and my wife still grins from ear to ear everytime I ask her how her car is. Only problem we have had is a plug went bad under warranty.

Consider the two sources you have posted here. The first is ONE disgruntled guy who bought a specific car with a known problem. Sorry for him, but kinda got his own self into that one....he woulda been a whole lot happier with the PT parked right next to it that day at the lot instead of taking the deep discount on the problem one.

Second source is Consumer Reports who accepts no advertising and buys with their own money the cars they test and ranks cars based on thousands of replys to surveys they send out. They say its a great car and ranks above average in reliability. They are a much more reliable source than one guy struggling to gather reinforcements. Reminds me of the guy who drove through town here a while back in a white pickup with hand-scrawled black lettering ALL over it about what a lemon it was and a poorly made corrugated metal "camper" top with the same lettering....kinda had to wonder about the source there.

Anyhoo...I love my PT..a 2004 GT. First new car I have ever bought at age 38. Fastest car I own, and that is a stable that includes a 302 69 Mustang and a fuel injected big block 68 Dodge wagon. Best handling hands down and allows me to hook up the car seat for the new baby to boot. As others have said, you can get a real good deal on a 2003 or 2004 GT, that would be my recommendation. You won't regret it!
