    PT Cruisers are the epitome of beautiful art deco aesthetics paired with shit design choices and build quality. Just give me one with Toyota quality control and a more efficient engine/electric motor and I’ll be quite happy.

      I can honestly say that this is the first time in my life that I’ve seen someone describe them as beautiful. Most people describe them as looking like a hearse. And not an attractive hearse.

      There is/was ton of aftermarket parts for these because they share the same chassis as the 2000-2005 neon. Really there’s a bunch of common small issues with these like wheel bearings, fan motor, control arm bushings, etc but there’s a huge knowledge base from all the forums back in the day. The five speed manual is pretty reliable as well. They’re still a shitty car though, can’t really fix that.
