My next door neighbour has a Chrysler PT Cruiser.
He asked for my help this evening.
His rear brakes were squeeking on his way back from a day out. So he squirted WD40 on them and took it for a short drive and they no longer squeeked and the car stopped OK.
However when he got home and parked on his sloping drive the handbrake no longer worked, so he left it in gear and came round.
Yep, PT Cruisers have rear disc brakes like the Coupe.

It was poo-poo this time Uncle Jimbo I cant seem to control 'down there' . I'm 'working' nights Back on topic, how fugly is the PT Cruiser I recall being a teenager when it first appeared and my mate urinated on a wheel of one outside a nightclub. How we laughed, especially when the Bouncer grabbed him and dragged him away from the club's area, winky still in hand and pee on his trousers
Coopless!

Back on topic, how fugly is the PT Cruiser They were built on the same platform as the Neon and used the same 2 litre engine. Remember seeing my first one in 2000 in Norway which was before they were released "Downunder". Certainly not one of the best looking cars! Now they are part of the "family". At least the Chrysler Delta is far better looking car. Will we see this "Downunder", now that Chrysler are the Australian distributors?

Back on topic, how fugly is the PT Cruiser It is, but I think it's quite an interesting ugly, with a lot of 1940s Yank in the shape. I would have one if I needed a cheapish medium sized family car.
