Faults:

The car was 'keyed' during the second week I had it entailing a re-spray of the whole passenger side door.

This is hardly the fault of the manufacturer, and the car has been completely reliable.

General Comments:

In comparison to my previous car (Honda Accord, 2.0 automatic) the Cruiser feels slow to accelerate, but at motorway speeds (!!) it does exactly what it says on the tin - cruises.

Ideally, it needs a bigger engine.

It has the turning circle of an ocean liner.

Rear visibility is poor.

However, I didn't buy it expecting a performance car - it's a head turner, and I bought it because of the way it looks (which I accept some people hate)

It accommodates our family of five (including 3 car seats in the rear for children ranging from 6 months to four years) although the boot could be bigger.

It has a good spec - air con, 6-speaker stereo including CD player, electric windows front and rear, traction control, ABS etc etc.

The Cruiser also has a comfortable driving position and plenty of rear leg room (according to adult friends rather than our 3 children)

Faults:

I didn't keep it long enough to find out.

General Comments:

I won the car and I hated it.

It's ugly, uncomfortable, tacky and cheap looking.

Luckily I kept my beamer, so I flogged the PT Cruiser.

Only had it for a week, couldn't stand the sight of it, it looked like we had a 1950's car parked on the drive.
