Bryan, My GF and I are into making crafts for shows. With a Midget and a
Probe, it is kinda hard to take enough stuff to the show and include the
tables etc for the booth. We took a PT Cruiser out for a drive as she did
not want a mini van. The interior is about the same volume as the Dodge
Caravan short version. The thing ran good, but not real powerful. It does
pull itself down the highway pretty good. I had it up to 90 and it was
pretty stable. I expect that there will be a huge market for after market
goodies (there already is for the Neon). So increasing the power
shouldn't be a big deal. The ride was very comfortable and the sound
system was awesome (to quote my daughter). We didn't order one but if we
get to making some bucks she might. It would be her car to replace the
Probe.
Jay has a point tho about not ordering the first year. But I also agree
that is not that big of a deal as it is based on the Neon.
I personally think they are pretty cool, but definately need a
convertible top ;-)
