2004 chrysler PT Cruiser reviews

Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.0 petrol automatic 2004

I have had this car exactly one day, on loan while my own car is being fixed. My first reaction on being handed the keys was "Oh, my God, I hope nobody I know sees me in this!" Within a couple of miles, all my prejudices were confirmed. Performance, refinement and handling about on a par with a double decker bus, comfortable as a park bench. And that gear lever! Depending on what angle you look at it, it either resembles a pig’s eye on a stick or a boil waiting to be burst. And you feel a complete plonker, just sitting in it. If I have it for long, I shall take to wearing a disguise. And a back brace. When my wife saw it, she immediately collapsed with laughter. The only way to live with this car is to regard it as some kind of bizarre joke. I thought the Americans did not understand irony, but I may be wrong. I suspect that this is the ultimate ironic car.
