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.
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
