2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser GT Turbo Road Test

And if you're smart you'll keep your mouth shut. Don't start yapping about front-wheel drive burnouts, 0 to 60 sprints and top speed. You'll blow it. If you play your cards right you just might get the only sports car your spouse will ever agree to buy. Now tell me, what are you going to say? That's right... practicality, fuel economy and a 7-year powertrain warranty. Sounds great, right honey?
