Anyone own a PT Cruiser?

warriormomerin

I'm thinking of trading my huge SUV for something smaller. I've come across several PT Cruisers that are in my price range. They seem like a decent sized car for to haul around two kids. We don't have a ton of gear to trek around anymore.

Thoughts? Opinions? Experiences?

I don't own one but was given one as a rental once.  Horrible! Stiff steering, huge blindspot and I wouldn't dare to put a child in one due to potential safety issues. (just my opinion though from 2 days of driving one)

HUGE blindspot. We had one as a rental and the windows are tiny and hard to see out of and I hated that.  Also I thought the seat was very uncomfortable.

My mom has one that I have driven a lot.  I actually have never  noticed any blind spots, but the steering is horrible.  It does not turn well, at all. She loves it though, I would keep looking.

We had a 2006 that we traded in last week.  We bought it new when dd was a newborn and it did hold a lot of stuff.  Steering was stiff but didn't notice any blindspots.  Reason we decided to trade it (we bought another Jeep Liberty) was because we had tirod (spelling) issues 3x and I think it may be a a defect in the car because it was just crazy to have 3 replaced.  Other than that, it served us well.  Found out when we traded it, they no longer are making them.  Oh and my dh husband said to add that it was lousy in snow.  We had a ton of snow this year so DH wanted 4 wheel drive.
