Looking for opinions about PT Cruiser

We looked at one before we bought my wife an 04 Ford Escape. I gotta say, I am glad we made the decision we did. The Escape had the original battery go bad two weeks after we bought it. Ford place came to the house, got it, put battery in it and brought it back. It's had one recall done for some revised throttle cables and tailgate latch. Done at the same time. Other than, it's not had one single blip on the radar. Got 75K on it now. Wife loves it cause it'll flat haul ***. Best little car we've had. If ya just gotta have a PT Cruiser.....you could always put a HEMI in it.
