Happy New Year.
My sister in law is looking at her first new Chrysler product in years. She had an early 1980s Horizon, but for the past 15 years has had a reliable Mazda 323 that now is approaching 300K miles (YES, 300K miles).
Anyhow, she is considering an 2003, or newer PT Crusier Touring, normally aspirated 2.4 with automatic. I have noticed most descriptions say 'overdrive' automatic. Does this mean the PT Crusier has the "a-sick-o-four"?
I have read that the PT Crusier is the "most reliable car built in Mexico". IntelliChoice shows good reliability, but do I need to caution her about the trans?
The other car she is considering is the Toyota Matrix/Pontiac Vibe, but the prices are higher than the PT Crusier. It seems teh PT Crusier is a good value in the used car market.
Any comments apprecaited!
