Re: 2001 PT Cruiser Limited Edition

I have the same car.  I love it, it's cute.  Drives fine.  Low 
maintenance except for brakes (eats through them.)

We're just stuck with the gas guzzling.

It is heavy I think.  Small engine for such a car.  Tranny may suck too.

Eventually I'll get something that is better on the gas.  Haven't found 
anything I like though.  Hoping for the electric revolution to catch up. 
  I'd own a Prius if it wasn't so ugly.  Boring.

When I bought it in 2000 a tank was $25.  Now it's $55.  Just didn't 
care then.  I cared, just didn't worry about it.

Won't buy another one.  Probably won't by anything Chrysler/Dodge.  Need 
to sup****t car companies that are trying harder to get green.
