PT Cruisers are the epitome of beautiful art deco aesthetics paired with shit design choices and build quality. Just give me one with Toyota quality control and a more efficient engine/electric motor and I'll be quite happy.
I can honestly say that this is the first time in my life that I've seen someone describe them as beautiful. Most people describe them as looking like a hearse. And not an attractive hearse.
There is/was ton of aftermarket parts for these because they share the same chassis as the 2000-2005 neon. Really there's a bunch of common small issues with these like wheel bearings, fan motor, control arm bushings, etc but there's a huge knowledge base from all the forums back in the day. The five speed manual is pretty reliable as well. They're still a shitty car though, can't really fix that.
Gut the PT Cruiser and swap in a Prius drivetrain, full body swap it. Hell yeah brother
Fuck that, get the turbo convertible, five speed swap it.
Are you saying they are not the most hideous creations ever..?
No, that award goes to the fiat multipla!

Haha okay that is worse
Not the other guy but I thought they looked cool. I like the art deco cars and they at least looked different from the generic cars we see today. I guess some people just think different = ugly?
I think they're absolutely hideous. It's not that they are different. Just awkward and goofy. They're trying to look old and new at the same time. I don't agree they are "art deco" at all
