General Comments:
My wife and I have wanted a PT Cruiser ever since the first one (2000 model) rolled out in mid-1999. We have been reluctant, however, to purchase one because the price was too high for the size of the car and the power of the engine. Since the price has fallen significantly, we decided to make the plunge into a PT Cruiser.
Chrysler has built a car that takes the best styling of the art deco period of the 30's and 40's and put it into a 21st century car.
It has the function of a small SUV, with the comfort of a car. The gas mileage is a plus coming from an Intrepid and the power is not nearly as bad as I anticipated. It is similar to the power my wife's 98 Plymouth Neon Expresso has. But it is so much more fun to drive. You feel like the coolest people on the road.
My last four cars have been Daimler Chrysler products and I wouldn't buy anything else. They're reliable vehicles with styling and design like no one else.

Just a question of what you mean by the gas went from 17-28? Are you stating that your gas mileage increased as you drove your vehicle more? Please advise on that, just because I am curious. I am 20 years old and currently debating whether I want to buy one. My motor-head neighbor loved the one he previously owned, and he's a wrangler, body building, four wheelin' kind of guy. So if he thinks it's good, it might be.
