My wife's '05 Sunfire was recently totaled by a moron in a Chevy SUV, so we've been shopping for another small car. She fell in love with PT's and bought one a couple of days ago. It's an '06 Limited. I think it has most of the options (power sunroof, power everything including seat, trip computer) except for heated seats and traction control. We bought it at a local Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealership. It has 65k miles.
I made the mistake of not test driving it. She did. When I drove it after we got it home, I noticed a vibration when accelerating. It went away after about 10 miles of driving, so perhaps it was a sticky caliper or rotor or something. I hope.
But I did crawl under it before we bought it, and it's clean underneath -- no rust. And the Carfax showed consistent oil changes every 3k-5k miles at a couple of Chrysler/Dodge dealerships.
It's magnesium blue pearlcoat. I like all the cubby bins and such scattered throughout, and it's a cool car and is fun. PT's handle well. There are some twisties on a local road that we drove on last night, and it did well through them.
I am already thinking of getting some aftermarket rims. The stock alloys are kind of ugly. Also, are there any members here who are Chrysler/Dodge/PT mechanics in NE Ohio -- preferably with their own shop?
