Had some issues with the starter not wanting to do its job when first bought, was corrected.
Other than that, nothing.
I'm actually writing this about my parents' PT Cruiser. Honestly, I didn't like the styling and was a little disappointed when they bought it to replace my mom's Aerostar (not that that thing was any better), but after driving it, I changed my mind.
It's a very smooth ride, and the transmission, while an automatic (that was my parents' fault) shifts nicely.
It handles very well too.
Visibility is excellent. Also, the controls are intelligently arranged and the body-color accents in the interior are a nice touch.
I would like to try a PT Turbo with a manual tranny in it, but my mom's is a nice car.
I wrote the review, and I just wanted to clarify something. It turns out that the starter issue was a result of my parents, who had never had a car with a remote before, locking and unlocking the doors multiple times in amazement. Apparently there's some kind of anti-theft feature that prevents the car from starting when it's locked and unlocked erratically. At least that's what my parents decided because once they stopped hitting the lock and unlock buttons and got the car started again, they never had the problem again. My dad was then convinced that this was evidence of his theory that every electrical component on a car is just one more thing to go wrong. They have since gotten over their initial infatuation with the remote features and the Cruiser is getting along very nicely.
