Are PT Cruisers good cars?

Is a PT Cruiser a good choice for my first real car? My parents gave me an old car for college, but I’m finally able to buy a new car for myself. I want to make sure I’m making the right choice!

The Chrysler
PT Cruiser
is a relatively good car, with an average rating of 3.5 out of 5 and a typical life expectancy of about 14 years.
However, that’s not to say that the PT Cruiser is without problems. Many users reported engine problems, particularly stalling and difficulty starting the car. Engine problems can be expensive to fix, so if you’re worried about repair costs, it’s worth looking into an extended warranty or
mechanical breakdown insurance
.
