2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser mini MPV 5dr manual
The PT Cruiser is a clever piece of 1950s retro-Americana that taps into a rose-tinted age of high fins and post-war optimism, and one that Ford has followed with its Thunderbird and Forty-Nine Coupe.
Except that the only Thunderbird the PT Cruiser could outpace, with its wheezy 140bhp 2.0-litre petrol motor, is Virgil Tracey, particularly with a load on board. Despite a 0-60mph time of 9.6 seconds, it struggles after that.
The PT Cruiser's looks are more impressive than its performance, because under the hot rod exterior lies a family mini MPV, and it is set up as such. The ride is pliant to the point of wobbly, especially noticeable on fast motorway lane changes where the car pitches and wallows and the gearbox is designed for a leisurely trip between cogs.
