The PT Cruiser is probably the worst car Chrysler ever manufactured, mechanically speaking. And that's saying something because basically every car Chrysler ever manufactured was the worst one they ever manufactured, but the PT Cruiser surpasses them all as the absolute worst.
This isn't a driveway, its a boneyard.
My dad was a mechanic his whole life. After he retired, he got a PT, and he absolutely loved it. The only thing I can think is that after a lifetime of driving "mechanic's cars," the PT was brilliant by comparison.
You're omitting the neon.
Granted it was just the pt loser in a different body
There’s no way the convertible Sebring from that era isn’t worse.
The battery is under the left front headlight and requires removing the wheel and fender liner to change
And actually the OG K cars were pretty bad too. My grandma gave her Reliant to my younger brother when it was 15? Years old, but had less than 20,000 miles on it.
On the drive home all the paint peeled off the roof and the first big rain storm the ECU module melted down.
I had one and God it sucked. Constantly breaking and the engine bay was so small and compact that it was difficult to do any repair especially if you're a big guy with big hands like me. I didn't even have an old one, it was the last limited PT Cruiser made before they discontinued them.
I thought the motors and trans on them were fairly reliable if you did basic maintenance on them
Nah man, Dart has the worst title by a fucking long shot. The GT PT is pretty cool if you know what it is.
All but one PTC are donors.
i rented one once because it looked interesting on the outside, like a 1930's delivery truck. inside all of the materials were of very poor quality and not put together well, everything inside was like poorly painted plastic and rattled even at low speeds. the engine didnt want to go, and the steering was poor. i still like the form factor, if it was much larger and built well.
What you'd really want is the Chevy HHR SS Panel.
thats cute too. but i really want a brubaker.
Both were designed by the same person interestingly enough.
Yeah these were just way way better cars
I think I'm stuck in the matrix. The open world suddenly spawned 7 of the same car.
I'd love to know the backstory here.
PT Cruiser people are weird.
Coming from someone who's dad has a PT Cruiser: yeah they're weird
He buys one because the wife likes the look of it.
A few years later it needs some major repairs and he's mad. He sees they now sell pretty cheaply used and buys a bunch to do the future repairs himself. Before you know it....
Or it's a composite photo. Wouldn't be hard to put a camera on a tripod and move the car around.
Ahhh, a composit photo makes sense.
I could also understand multiple cars for parts, but the identical color threw me. I've got a neighbor with a dozen miatas on his property at any given time. He races them and parts them out.
The person with all these PTCs is doing the world a favor by putting out to pasture so they can die. This is what a hero looks like. It's not pretty, but it's who we need.
The pt cruiser handles surprisingly well. It’s not good just not awful. It also gets like 18 mi a gallon.
At low speeds. My grandfather has one (a really low milage one he inherited) and I've driven it a bit. It's a small, cheap car that doesn't get good milage at all (a 90s camry will get much better), but if you just want something to putter about in it works. Easy to park, cheap so you don't have to worry about people messing with it, and pretty simply designed.
De gustibus some disputandum
PT Crusier was the first car (non exotic) I ever saw sold new with a "dealer markup" above MSRP. Curious, I sat in the back seat and it felt like I was sitting on a bag of sawdust.
