| I have had this 2006 pt cruiser for over a year and a half. within that year and a half, i have now had to replace the tires, brakes. the air conditioner just went out. this car has been horrible. i can't blow the horn without pounding it. the lamp assemblies hold moisture, the thing drinks gas and right now with gas prices this is a problem. yet, nobody wants me to trade it because it isn't worth a penny because nobody wants them. they need to recall the fact they lied on the stickers about gas mileage. i may get 17 miles per gallon. horrible car. i hope people stop buying them until they fix the problems they already have. *tr | |||
