PT Cruiser: the worst car of all time - Iowa State Daily
My parents were so proud of me that they offered to help me buy my first car. My parents took me to the only used car dealership in town. Launched by Chrysler in early 2000, the PT Cruiser is a five-door hatchback that hearkens back to a bygone era of hot rods. The retro styled compact automobile’s repulsive design can be credited to Bryan Nesbitt, an automobile designer who also styled the Chevrolet HHR. The PT Cruiser created quite the buzz upon its initial debut and was even named the 2001 Motor Trend Car of the Year. After several years however, all hype surrounding the car had faded and people began to hate the design. The Cruiser became like a dog that was too old and sick to chase the ball its owner just threw, yet Chrysler still didn’t take it to the vet to have it put down. The particular PT that I came to own was a white 2002 model complete with wood paneling and windows that the previous owner had taken the liberty of tinting completely black. The car dealership gave my parents an offer that they couldn’t refuse just so the vehicle would be taken off its lot. My first two years of high school were living hell because of this car.
