I think there are two clbuttes of people who drive the PT Cruiser.
First, there are the old folks (mostly in Florida) who like the high seats (easier to get in and out of), and the hatch which holds their wheel chair.
The Second clbutt is the hot-rod retro type. They tend to go for the GT model. I can butture you it is a rarity for anyone to pbutt me in my PT GT.
The GT is hard to beat in terms of a small, functional and fast car.
7" shorter than a Nissan Sentra but pbuttenger volume greater than a Lincoln Towncar
PT cruiser driversinherent sloths 3527I try to remember them all. I even catagorize them, but I get bored while driving. The saddest part is the number of new GT Mustang Sloths I encounter by...
Cargo capacity of 60.2 Cu. Ft. is about the same as a Chevy Blazer's 60.6 CF (with seats folded down).
A good sized load of 8 foot lumber fits with out having to stack it on the dashboard. You could probably fit a load of 50 8 foot long 2x4s with the hatch closed.
Breathtaking acceleration, 0-60 in 6.7 seconds: Faster than a 1982 Ferrari GTB-SI Quattrovalvole 6.8 sec. or a A V8 1967 Ford Mustang (390ci w-4spd) - 7.4 sec.
It may not beat a Corvette, but try fitting lumber in a 'Vette.
As for looks, that is of course very subjective, but the bold forward rake and clean beltline which forms a smooth parabola around the hood line are all signs of a good aesthetic design. I am an architect, and most my coworkers (designers) like the design of the PT Cruiser, except for those who think traditional designs like Mercedes or Camry are the only way to go. Some just hate the idea of a different design. As with most unique designs, people love them or hate them.
