Detailed review: |
This is by far the best car I have owned in many, many years. My father-in-law loved the car so much, he sold his pick up truck and bought one for himself. My dad loves the car so much that when we go for a drive, he likes to drive. It handles well and maneuvers turns and parking lots with the greatest of ease. Even my daughter who is in college loves the ease of this car. The inside is roomy enough for the tallest people, with a trunk large enough to carry whatever I need and fold down seats for added room to haul. In these times of financial uncertainties, the high gas mileage is a great comfort. People are always looking at it trying to figure out exactly what it is - a VW PT Cruiser combo? They say it looks foreign, well that's because it is. With such a great price we are looking to buy a second one, stick this time. I have not enjoyed a car this much in a very long time and recommend it to anyone. We drove it from Ohio to Florida when we first bought it a year ago, and the drive was very comfortable. There are lots of compartments and storage spaces, and who could argue five cup holders. My husband is the one with all the common sense, and after checking out other cars in much higher price ranges, he decided this car had everything and more that we were looking for. The only thing I would add, is cruise control. Susan in Ohio |
