Woohoo which car is the absolute hippest and coolest car?!

Is it the Refined PT Cruiser?


The aptly named Nissan Cube?


Perhaps the Honda Element?


The ~Sexy~ Kia Soul?


How about the sleek Scion xB?


Or literally any other car? For some reason people buy these things on purpose, and we need to figure out which one is the best!

I'm a pretty good drunk driver, although last time I went out I got drunk under the table (slowing down I think as that never happens) so someone gave me a ride home

People who get Souls LOVE them. Like they defend them to the death.

Everyone else absolutely hates them. I've not met one person that was "Meh" about the Soul.

It's like a Smart car. You know you hosed up, but you just can't admit your $18,000 mistake to other people. Instead, you lie and convince yourself that other people just don't understand and that your car is better than all others.

Maybe thats it. I know a few people, all girls between the ages of 20 and 27 that actively sought out and yearned for the Kia Soul. I just don't get the appeal of that car.

Maybe its because I"m not a 20-27 yo girl?

I dunno.

As objectively awful as it is/was, I'm a little tired of all the poo poo the PT Cruiser gets. It was a pretty solid accomplishment for Chrysler to repackage a bunch of parts bin poo poo from models nobody wanted into something that actually was in demand and had a look unlike anything else on the road. When the PT was first released I knew a bunch of baby boomer coworkers who thought it was the hottest poo poo ever. One of them bought a PT as a retirement present to himself, his first new car ever. Imagine being in your early 60s and the high point of your life is your new PT Cruiser. I had to play along, I couldn't bear to tell him what I really thought.

Kia. Ugh.


Pt cruisers are like baby_boomer.auto. ugly, wasteful and harks back to a lovely time. Grats on your wood paneling I guess?

I don't get how or why younger people buy them on purpose. The soul and xB I get because marketing, but the cruiser? No way is that cool at all.

You're obviously not a mechanic :/

The PT Cruiser, thanks to it's faux-retro styling, is loving impossible to work on without removing poo poo like fenders and entire front facia - simple 30-minute jobs are like 5 hours in some cases.

Which wouldn't be a big deal if the car was reliable and largely trouble-free, but it somehow took the incredibly lovely, failure-prone drivetrain of the Neon and made it worse.

Combine that with the ridiculous attitude of many buyers - "hurr, this is a hawt rod!" as well as it's crappy gas mileage and lousy performance(except the turbo models, they're reasonably peppy), add a cup of pre-bankruptcy Chrysler's terrible build quality and you have a real shitbag of a vehicle.

I can't believe I effortposted about PT Cruisers. :confused:

Trap sprung!


But really, I knew PT Cruisers were ugly and slow, but I didn't know they had a ton of mechanical issues. Thats hilarious, its like the trifecta of terrible vehicles.

I still can't get over that people buy them ON PURPOSE. I Mean if it was the only car on the lot and was 80% marked down, alright. But some people actually seek them out.

driving the fuck truck from hand land to pound town without stopping at suction station


i had an aztek for a while. it loving ruled. it was so huge and comfortable, had cupholders everywhere and of course looks cool as gently caress. eventually the transmission fell apart from under it while it was running. it was so loud i would wear earplugs if i had to go on the highway for more than like 20 minutes or i would get a crazy headache. the back opened in two pieces, a hatch and a tailgate. the glass hatch was too heavy for the little pneumatic strut it had to actually hold it up so I had to wedge an old shoe in it to keep it open when I had to load it up with furniture or whatever.

I was given a used PT Cruiser...free. Absolutely the worst car I've ever driven. I can't say a single good thing about it, other than it was free. Got rid of it.
