Chrysler PT Cruiser ;-;
Honestly doesn't look to bad to me. Would I drive it? No. Cause I bet it unreliable.
Damn straight boss
If you're feeling low, which I assume you are, go watch his H1 review. Should make you feel a little better, in a "could always be worse" sort of way.
Finally a car that looks the way Doug dresses.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think he dresses like a golf, pretty standard.
Jonny O he just dresses like a white dad in the suburbs🤷🏽♂️
🤣😂🤣
Ayooo😂
My uncle said he was, “Thankful for his PT Cruiser” at a Thanksgiving dinner. I’ll never forget it.
You have a really grateful uncle
DUDE!! I had an uncle, with a red PT Cruiser, with flames going down the side. He thought it was so cool 🤦♂️

@_jeff _ update: my grand uncle upgraded to a platinum hybrid highlander. He sold my parents his 2013 rav-4 le for a great price. I now drive a 2013 Rav-4. 😎
This is literally the review that no one asked for, but everyone wanted. Don’t lie.
@@marasco.official Popular in poland? Where.... In my whole live in capital city, i saw maybe 5. Others were posters or photos.
Been waiting on him to make a video about the PT Cruiser. I also kind of want him to make a video about the Ford CVPI, but honestly there isn't anything to review with it, I just more-so want to hear his opinions about it. I'm a CVPI fanboy.
This is one of the ones doug was talking about in the end of the year video. Nobody wanted it, he knows it probably wont do great, but he was excited and wanted to review it
@@marasco.official in Colorado there's an entire club of PT Cruisers, most of them highly modified.
As someone who own (and loves) 05 turbo convertible dream cruiser series 4 I was hoping for a real pt cruiser review
It's weird, I feel like this car suits Doug perfectly.. if I saw him driving down the road in it, I'd think he was right at home.
haha i don't think you could be more wrong
GT cruzer is all Doug 😄
I agree
Glycerin downvote
Weird or old cars like this are where Doug’s heart is.
Doug: "Everyone calls it the PT Loser"

PT Loser
My dad calls em loser cruisers.
Actually, on Chrysler radios you get a second bank of presets if you push each button a second time. Same thing with the button to set the presets -- push it twice and you'll see SET 2 on the display, indicating that you're programming the second bank of presets. GM did a similar thing with their Delco radios -- pushing two adjacent preset buttons simultaneously will give you another preset.
I know you!
I expect vwestlife on no other video than a review of a pt cruiser
Yeah that's how it is on all three of the grand caravans my family has owned
Okay I was gonna say my PT has 10 presets I wasn't sure what he was talking about.
@@coltonjudd7984 Dougy usually doesn't.....he just like hearing himself talk about something he knows little about!!
Owner: “I bet I can sell this quicker if I get some publicity from Doug.”
Doug: “Thiiiiiiissssss car is about to get roasted.”
Imagine being exited to see that Doug Demuro rents your car through Turo, only to see it absolutely roasted a few weeks later. I bet the Maserati Ghibli, Nissan 370z, Mercedes AMG CLA45, Maserati GranTurismo and the Maserati Quattroporte owners could tell us.

Doug: "Can I insult YOUR 'cool' car? Contact me!" Seriously though, glad he's brutally honest in his evaluations.
Johnman nah. He always praises viewer’s cars and roasts Turo cars. Dealer cars, he’s somewhere in between.
No he's biased and has no consistence, in one car he prises using let's say turn signal lever from other car and says it's good idea and in other he trashes exactly same thing.
He praises all the rich guy cars and rags on affordable cars so he can keep reviewing the exotics for the clicks
People tend to over analyze things and everything they do analyze goes through a personalized bias confirmation filter. So fuck all you and your opinions. Let the man do his work.

Where did the PT Cruiser hurt you?
My dad had one if these in cherry red, drove it all the time as a teenager, it was way more fun than it had any business being lol. We called it the "GT Bruiser" 🤣🤣🤣
* It's retro look reminded me of the cars of my early 1950's childhood including my dad's Hudson! ☺
I called mine that, bc of the dents it had over the driver's side real wheel well.
I have one exactly like that right now I just bought it. I love it 😂😂😂😂😂
15:05 the rear would lift at 240MPH, so they added that spoiler? Phew....I was doing 245mph in mine yesterday and never knew 😱

I’m suing Chrysler. Yesterday I was competing in the 69 hours of Le Mans and I was in my PT cruiser GT Racing the Scion tC I was going 420 mph and the car took off! Luckily I walked away but the car was a total write off. I didn’t know my car wasn’t fitted with the factory spoiler.

Jorji Costava For the Fun Factor I sadly have to give him a *1 out of 10*
he looks good in that suit but its not really my style so he gets a 2 out of 10.
Jorji Costava he didn’t dress very well so he gets a 1 out of 10 for cool factor
Jorji Costava reliability isn’t good as he had asthma, allergies, and had to use a cane so I’ll give it a 3/10
I think they're pretty cute. I think the styling was awesome
I miss mine.
It was a dark red 07 with a factory gray hood. (Blended well tbh)
I love the little funky cars like that. Mine also lasted me till 240+k miles
u gotta get that taste check...
Looks like an average chrysler aka J-A-N-K-Y
Yeah they're definitely quirky but many people actually really like them. Some surprise Doug is so rough on it.
" You push that little button in the door handle " ( like hes never seen a car with that handle before ) .. The P.T. was supposed to look retro ..
“They added the wing because the rear end would lift when it hit 240 mph LMAO
If you can't handle a PT cruiser at 240 Miles per minute you're not driving the right car. These things are a force to be reckoned with. Definitely will not disappoint. Randy Pobst would probably call this the best car of all time, I mean just look at it
Yes, and they race the PT Curze in Le Mans. 😄👍🏼

Yea and going over 100MPH is a deathtrap!
Angel Buitron what’s with the repeat comments?
These cars are either pristine, or a rusted out mufflerless death trap. There is no in between.
Yep
So true seen one driving like a week ago thing had to have no muffler was so loud
Couldn't agree more. I have a 02 dream edition absolutely beautiful car. No rust. Have a 04 no rockers left on the inside, holes in the floor but still runs good with 240k
Mine is a solid in-between
one I saw didn't have any rust. It had reparable issues but no rust. I'm not sure I'd call it pristine but close on the outside. but those brakes had to go. SQEEEEEL
I love how someone sent Doug their car and he just takes the piss out of it.
I always chuckle at that 😂
Not the cars fault they're bad. The manufacturers are the ones to blame. Also, life isn't going to be exactly perfect. there are going to be cars out there that we hate but we don't need to waste life complaining and screaming at cards and inanimate objects that don't really mean any harm they're not out to get us. Unless we make them get the worst out of us. Think on the bright side, they come in so many cool colors that other cars don't necessarily come in. As well that they have two different types of engines. If you look at the front of a PT cruiser look at the headlights they look like eyes and look at the bumper in the front it looks like a smile. It's cute, it's a cute little car. Meant to be loved, even though people don't really like them. Just give them a chance, you don't have to like them but at least just be more appreciative.
i cant think of one redeeming feature of the pt cruiser, its build quality was crap, its styling was renouned for being gut wrenchingly disgusting and its powertrain was mediocre at best, and its driven by senile pensioners
@@conversechryslerqueenI bought one thought it was mid at first, just needed it to get the job done and take me places, but I drive it and all of a sudden I like it more than my other car I’ve been driving 😳
@@DaddyShaoKahn good! They are cute, small, probably very easy to fit in tight spots. I'm glad you have the room in your heart to like it. Other people's wretched hearts to not even give it a chance

I love the fact that my father owned a neon and my mom owned the PT Cruiser. I can happily blame genetics whenever I make a bad decision.
My grandpa bought one new then sold it and actually made money on it. Then bought 2 more for him and my grandma.
That’s fucking hilarious
WhitieWu lmao
Lol
The PT is built on a Neon base.
You missed a quirk: the back seats were completely removable (even had a "carry handle" on the back) so it turned into a tiny van.
Which was a GREAT feature in the vehicle. I carried 200 lbs of mulch for my mom in one with the seats out.
And once removed the rear shelf in the upright position had a use as a floor divider in the completely flat cargo area. I'm a little puzzled all that got left out since these are quirks very few cars, if any, have.
@@leskirkpatrick621 I really can't remember what they were for! Maybe there was a strap on the rear seats when they folded and flipped up?
Eric Marois I think the Toyota matrix/Pontiac Vibe had a similar seating situation
Shame on you and more of
the commenters. That's REALLY clever!!!
I'd buy a car with that today!
After market camping etc. possibilities!!!
I like the exterior door Handel since it has been on almost every American car of the 1950s and 60s. 4:05
The door panel storage holes are special performance weight reduction mod for the GT Cruiser. 8:00
The defrost button, again for easy side switch with the lighter. (EU-US) 8:37
This makes me realize how much I want to see Doug's Multipla review
I like how that car looks
It might be awful in terms of styling, but other than that, it's rather good car. The JTD engines are bullet proof, had 6 seats, was comfortable, was cheaply made but WAS cheap to buy, so honestly it's not so bad. It's only ridiculed because of how laughably weird the styling is
mopsnuf we head a Multipla from brand new. It was garbage.
Too bad he refused going overseas

I'm pretty sure the B pillar hooks are for securing grocery bags in the back. Actually a great idea. My Camry has a couple hooks in the trunk for that, and I love them.

The video was posted 1 minute ago why does your comment say 44 minutes ago
How is this comment 43 min. Old when the video itself is uploaded a min ago guess we'll never know
That was the first video I saw from Doug. At the time i left a hateful comment and here i am loving his content (since 2016), and enjoying those sexy quirks and features.

Won't be storing my loose marble collection in this door.
There are still many retro style cars today...Mini, Challenger, and Camaro to name a few. The PT set a trend and I think it looks unique, not ugly. I definitely would have to get the GT if I ever bought one though.
Exterior is cool IMO but I agree with Doug on the interior. Hideously cheap quality.
Man oh man, this PT Cruiser was never meant to be luxurious, no heated seats, no touch screen, no leather, &, no charge ports.@@angrydalailama6089
Cars can be unique AND ugly, those aren't mutually exclusive. And I think it's ugly as hell

Nate O'Brien Didn't he have a Sebring though?

He’s a car journalist, he gets paid to do this because there are millions of us who watch his videos. What he says about the car doesn’t yield him any more or less money. If you don’t want to hear bad things about your car, don’t lend it to a journalist.
Those two hooks on the b-pillar are for holding up the fold up rear seat and for your information that fold down seat in the front that's so you can put long cargo so you don't have to worry about damaging the front seat back.
My very hip and very old grandma used to pick me up in school in a Pt cruiser and the one thing i remember is the sound. I remember plastic always creaking and rattling, very little sound insulation, and the steering wheel would rattle over bumps. I was always terrified because she drives like a 15 year old on Gta.
The interior of the PT Cruiser is the most early 2000s thing ever.
Get inside a 2008 Dodge Caliber. How can Chrysler go backwards in interior quality??? Apparently they found a way lol
I always loved the interior of the PT Cruiser.
@@alexapplegate619 Yeah most Chrysler's went backwards with interior materials toward the end of the Diamler days, which is surprising since interior quality was already low before then lol.
07 say a redesign. And the interior looked nice tbh.

I don't mine the interior to my Cali tbh.
Shitty car. Rather have my old PT. But the interior doesn't bother me lol
People: want quality.
Chrysler:: T a b LE s
People want a nice car they can afford and will last. My PT is 20 years old and is still my everyday car.
8:46 .. The reason the switch is up on the “pedestal” is so that it matches the 12 V accessory plug on the opposite side
I’m QUITE OFFENDED about EVERY NEGATIVE WORD you stated in this introduction when I first saw this vehicle I knew I had to have it and I had a very positive experience the years I had it , I bought a Black limited model during the beginning of its life when there was at least a six month wait if not longer to receive them . I happen to go into my dealership and was able to negotiate one that someone else was supposed to pick up that day , she didn’t come that day so I was able to drive off the lot with it and I was EXTREMELY satisfied with my purchase

And here I thought I coined that term back in middle school lol
PT snoozer
Everyone + Doug.
Doug, I had a rental PT for 2 weeks and although it was the poster child for cheap cars, I actually still like the design and I thought it was a very practical design for a small car, much more than my Crosstrek. Yes, I know it wouldn't last more than 60k miles. Oh, and gas mileage was horrendous. Mine had a very cool analog clock.
Doug: “They went the cheap route”
*Ad plays immediately after*
“Hey, we’re Root”
It's so sad that I can quote that entire ad by this point :'D
Root doesn’t insure PT cruisers. They only insure people with a good driving record. And owners of PT cruisers aren’t that.
And we can save you up to 52% on car insurance
I got an ad for a local Chrysler dealer lol
TheBIGJake111 Big RIP
Much prefer this video than ones about $1 million supercars! Lovely stuff!
Same here. Srt4 engine. 5 speed. Might be interested
2003 GT with the 5-speed was awesome. We've had two more - 2008 Ltd with turbo and a NA 2010 Classic. It's not that we're just cruiser fanatics but three times running, we just couldn't find anything we liked as well for anywhere near the price. But the GT was something else; I don't know what product manager was responsible for that but they deserved a raise. I've read that for '03 they dipped into the M-B supply chain for the front seats but also, getting that Getrag 5-speed was a coup. I was ex-Saab 9000 and Audi 90 and the PT Cruiser GT was at least level with them both. I knew from the moment I rolled across the dealership parking lot in the GT that the car *had it* and I thoroughly enjoyed driving it.
This has got to be one of the funniest reviews by Doug. I come here from time to time when I'm feeling down and it never fails to pick me up and make me laugh

The head unit on these ( or at least the one on my Intrepid back in the day) could, in fact, store more presets. Hitting each preset number twice would access the second station. So 10 stations could be pre-set, it just wasn't very obvious.

Doug: Hold my beer.
Doug at least sounds like he wants to be nice, but is embarrassed, like when your kid poops his pants.
Mr.Scurvy that’s not intentionally done to lengthen the video, he frequently talks about the issues he experiences with videos being too long. A lot of RUclipsrs speak ridiculously quickly. Doug is just a good public speaker.
@@mr.scurvy if doug spoke twice ass fast it would take all the comedic timing out of his videos and nobody would watch.
Cramming twice as many words into half the time doesnt mean the video is twice as good. cadence and timing are a huge component to comedy, and comedy is a staple feature of doug videos.

2007 pt cruiser took me to Louisiana and back to Texas for a few years . 800 mile round trip . When ever I had an issue I could easily fix it . I’m not mechanically inclined what do every but I’ve done all the work for this car . Super easy to work on . We still got it . I mean you need a vehicle to get you to work in back and on a budget and not trying to impress anyone this is it . Cheap good on gas easy to work on
Doug, My wife and I had 2 of these things. I HATED them, she LOVED them! Some people really love them for their low cost and retro look. For example, we went out to a eat one time and when we pulled in to park, a group of people told us "you were supposed ot park over on the other side of the parking lot. It turned-out we had blundered into the local PT Cruiser owner club meet-up! Mostly this was a bunch of retirement age people who met up to show off their cars and the modificaitons they had made ot them.
As for my opinion of the cars, the first one we had was an absolute death trap in any kind of wet or icy weather. The reaosn being is we were poor,so had gotten the very base model. This meant it came with low profile, wannabe race-car tires that had horrible traction on any road that wasn't bone dry and it didn't have anti-lock brakes, so we were constantly sliding into our stops and turns in the winter months. On top of that, it was REALLY hard for a fat guy like me to get in and out of the vehicle. After getting rid of that car, I got my wife an SUV (which she hated because it "wasn't sporty.") I researched for a while and thought ?I had found the perfect answer: I would get her a convertible PT cruiser with anti-lock brakes. This would have wider doors (so I could enter/exit easier) and solve the sliding issue in wet weather. That worked out fine, until deep winter arrived. At this point, I realized my mistake: The convertible version has door windows that extend above the bottom of the roof. So to open them, they quickly slide down about an inch when you press that door handle button to clear the top of the roof and let you open them. When there is snow or ice, they get frozen in place and you can't enter the vehicle!!! My stopgap solution was to purchase an aftermarket remote car starter and make sur we left the heater/defroster on when exiting.
I feel like the cruiser is so split. Like half of the people hate it cause they think it's ugly, unreliable, too small and uncool. But then the others love it cause they think it's beautiful reliable and cheap. Its like they talk about two different cars
Indeed
It is reliable. More reliable than a Subaru that my father has.
i love it, my family has had 2 and they have both gone over 200,000 and the second one which is mine now is still going strong

That reverse gear sound is actually good implementation. It probably stopped all those grandmas from driving their pt cruisers into gas stations cuz then they wernt in reverse they knew because they didn’t hear the sound.
Listening to this guy kills me! I have a 2004 base pt no problems at all.... ever. Still going 124,000. The interior is pristine, nothing broken which makes me still love the car that it has held up so well. The interior room and seat positions are great (especially for my bloodhounds) My husband liked my car so much he purchased the one Doug is talking about in an automatic. He has been very happy, basic maintenance and interior has held up. I just purchased a 2003 tangerine dream cruiser with 74,000, looks new and I love it. I was warned not to purchase a pt that they were bad cars. I have had nothing but good experiences and have spent less on maintenance than my previous cars, Acura, Audi, Ford & Mitsubishi. All the other interiors broke down over time
Have had over a dozen, 😊

After then he learned to review cars
If it is really cold outside during winter, those buttons will freeze up and render the doors unopenable (as doug said). You will have to open the trunk and climb over the back seats to get in ( if u arent too big)
My grandfather used to pee on door handles like that in the 70s and 80s when that would happen. Quick defrost 👍
My Grandma drove one for years. No need to attack me like that Doug lol

Doug is not the type of guy to buy a new car very often
No, that is hoovie.
Just to crush it again
That cars owner was probably so excited to have Doug review his PT cruiser
Yeah, I'm sure they realized the short comings...they drove this little guy and took care of it all these years apparently. Someone treated it well or better that crushing it with a Hummer... lol.
People give the PT cruiser a bad name but somebody liked them they sold a bunch of them.
F this guy
I rented and drove a PT Cruiser in Dallas Texas when visiting relatives 7 years ago. It was a fun car to drive back then. The look of the PT Cruiser reminded me of my dad’s 1937 Hudson Terraplane, which was also a great car to drive.
I actually had a PT GT for a while when I was in college. The window switches are something you get used to. It's nothing worse than my Mercedes that mounted them in the middle for years. The beeping when you put it in reverse was for the Getrag transmission 5speed because it was a dogleg so they were concerned people in the US might not be used to that and accidentally shift into reverse at a light. The little hooks on the b-pillar was for a cargo net that I believe was optional. So when you folded the rear seats flat to get a lot of storage you had a little cargo stop so it wouldn't move up if you stopped really fast. The door buttons do in fact freeze up in the winter. It was comical and usually not too bad. I used the plastic seat back many times between classes to study and have a quick bite. The rear wing was absolutely silly. As a college student the back table was great for tailgate.
The greatest thing was after you put a blow off valve you could pull a vacuum line off the wastegate and then run a ton of boost. It made for a very fun driving experience although the handling was a nightmare at high speeds. It was still tons of fun to blow by all sorts of people that thought they had a fast car. People like stock mustangs, camaros, and even some of the older vettes.
The worst thing was coming up to a light and being tall. With the windshield angle and height you couldn't see the light.
Ugly but fun car over all.
Well said and I had a red one myself (an automatic). I didnt think much and did hate the PT until I saw the ad said 'turbo', then personally fell in love with it after driving it for a while. I wish I still had it but I gave it away after the engine blew.

"THISSS is my new Chrysler PT Cruiser"
He already did that... and then absolutely demolished it.
😂
He already had one.
snakexpert552 he wouldn’t buy one since he just got the g wagen
😂
i learned to drive on a pt cruiser and it’s still the best driving car i ever drove 😂
Maybe I'm strange, but I love window switches in the center.
Same too
@@EsaShaheed I subbed u got some good beats
Who cares where they are if they work?
@@d.r.5287 My wife's old 05 c320 had then on the driver door, but they were down below the knee and toward the front, awful placement.
@@alwwqe thank u so much!
Chrysler spent about 80% of their design budget for this car in designing the cargo area cover.
That thing is pretty amazing
I genuinely hope this isn’t true and out of fear refuse to fact check
well this was way better than the designers absurdly bad fail that had nothing but problems one just couldn't fix with the HHR. Run away from those. I see um and I don't get um.
Doug, you forgot to mention that, to replace the headlight bulb, you'll need to remove the front wheel first.
Nothing special, even in a Mazda mx5
No you don't... You just put on the emergency brake and put it in reverse... Gives ya enough room to get your hand in there.
And the rears aswell🤣🤣
Mazda 6 same deal.
The Suzuki Kizashi is even worse, you need to remove the whole bumper AND the headlight with its attachements
What about under the hood? Did you mention the engine placement? Is it front wheel drive or rear axel? What type of suspension? Type of brakes? Braking distance? Blind spots? Easy access to change fluids? Type of window package; power or hand crank? Upolstery options? I like the pull down desk, especially if the steering is mounted on the right side for postal carriers is having that left side pull down table to place a mail bag and close proximity to the control stack to open and close the window per mail box drive up, near mail bag.
Chrysler had black and gray keys at this time. The black key was a plain key, the gray color denotes a transponder key for the Sentry Key Immobilization System (SKIS). Why they color coded it, I don't know since the SKIS keys have a thicker body and it was pretty easy to tell them apart based on that alone.
"I also crushed one with a hummer" lol
Marc Trevino yes you can still find it
Please be careful with my exclusive car.
Doug: Kicks the window buttons with his dirty boots
No class 💁
14:15 It's NOT a desk, Doug - it's a scuff plate for when you're carrying long items like 2x4s...
The hooks on the inside are for the rear seats, The gt also has bigger brakes in the front and the gt seats are full leather
The Rolls Royce Cullinan doesn’t even have a cargo tray that becomes a table. The PT Cruiser was ahead of its time.
love these videos because it’s 20 minutes of doug roasting the car LMAO
Only American cars.
Thank you for this review! I used to be in love with this car! So sad that Chrysler cheaped out on this vehicle. I'm still in love with it although friends thought it looked like a hearse😋
My next door neighbor owned a manual transmission PT Cruiser. She used it to haul antique, heavy furniture on the roof and in the back. She drove it several times from Louisville to central Michigan as well as the east Florida coast. She never had a bit of trouble with it. How did it die? It was parked in front of her house and a car driving by lost control, sideswiped the Cruiser, and destroyed a front wheel. Result was that it repair exceeded value of the car. So sad! It had survived well over 100 K miles.
I would love to see Doug review any of the following cars.
1. 90’s Chevy Camaro SS
2. 90’s Nissan 240SX Coupe/Convertible
3. 90’s Nissan 300ZX
4. 90’s Mercury Capri
5. 90’s Eagle Talon Turbo
I'm all about # 5 In high school my teacher would let me leave school with her Talon to detail it.It was real fast car in its day. I dont think teachers would get away with shit like that today?! Have a good day..
@@craigm2209 lol my teacher let me take her car to my house to get a permission slip.
He did a review on the 90 Mitsubishi eclipse gsx
mpgxsvcd
I think you was born in 85
Chevy HHR SS
Pontiac Aztec: “Hold my beer.”
@@__The_Real_V__ Utilitarian at it's best.
aztec has a tent option so you could camp out the back of it. tell me thats not the coolest shit ever also it had a built in cooler for da beers.
WW wuz here
Why is this chat fighting over a pos aztec and a pos pt cruiser? They both equally are niche terrible cars. But yes they are cool because they are unique.
Irony is Heisenberg Jr have PT cruiser and Walter White owns Pontiac Aztek😂
I'm in the camp of people that love their Cruiser. My dad handed down his 2008 to me when I got my license and I absolutely love driving her. She's a great size for what I need, she's fast, she's incredibly reliable after 13 years, and my fiance even said he loves driving her (when he can actually get me to hand over the keys). Literally the only complaint I have about her is her turning radius... Leaves a bit to be desired.
I rented one for a long road trip and actually loved it. I'm 6'4" and I was very comfortable in it. The door was large and it was easy to get in and out of. The front window was large as well and had great visibility all around. It was very nimble and did not lack for power. Being a small car, I was able to park it any where easily. I still remember that trip with great fondness.
"I also crushed one with a hummer, so I am kind of into the whole PT Cruiser scene!"
Psyflier he needs to do a ford probe
I lost it hahahaha
“This car has only had a few minor modifications”. Neglects to show us the Nitrous tank.
That's doug
timestamp pls haha
Where?
Where you see the Nitrous tank
I like the simplistic open design it is a minivan and a sedan put together I also like the window switches in the middle because I've had window switches fail in my doors from opening them when it's raining or forgetting and leaving a window down
Hi Doug, this is hilarious - thanks :) I'm one of the weirdos who really loves this car. We in Australia don't get the same choices that you do in the US, so it's the only car over the past 20 years or so that I've loved the look of, that isn't actually really vintage. (Of the ones that I could possibly afford.) Regarding the air conditioning: I like to drive in an icebox. It gets hot here sometimes, as you can imagine, and I hate the heat. So, apart from the strange little direction knobs, is the air conditioning nice and cold? Or does it fail there as well? Thanks, Leigh
When I was a kid my friends brother had a PT and I remember sitting in the back wondering why the damn window switches were on the floor and since I started watching Doug, I have been wondering if he would ever review this car and point out this quirk! Today is a good day
