And my repairs to my two 02 PT Cruisers was three batteries between the two cars, one timing belt, one manual clutch slave cylinder, one seeping thermostat housing (could have refinished and gotten another five years out of it), four sets of tires, two sets of brake pads and two rotors, two rear tail light bulbs, one diagnostics and factory cam sensor (had replaced one with aftermarket when I thought that was the problem when I had a timing belt break). This is a cumulative 11 years for two, 180K miles on the two cars. Tires, batteries, brakes, all wear and replace items, every car goes through them, my bushings and struts are originals, road conditions has a lot to do with their wear, especially since not all cars wear out at the same rate of speed. All things considered, I personally think the PT has a better track record of repairs compared to the competition, more repairs needed in inclement weather areas, just like any other vehicle.
