So I took my crap car in to get an oil change, and the grease monkeys found a small crack in some sort of thing, can't remember, but it didn't look good. Anyways, long story short, I've been looking to get a better car for a while now, and a local place has a 2002 Black PT Cruiser for 6K. My question to the community is, is the PT Cruiser considered a girls car? I'm a large man (6'5), so it seems like it would be big enough for me to fit behind, but would I be thought of as a girly man or even worse, a "gay", if I were to drive it? That "gay" remark was a joke by the way, so settle down homos (also a joke).

If you have to ask, I imagine you'll never be completely comfortable with it so I'd advise against buying it.

I had to take my driver's test in a PT Cruiser. The only thing I didn't like about it was the jacked up rear end. It makes backing up and navigating in reverse a pain in the ass. Especially if you have to go down a hill. If you had a problem with anything, that would be it. As for the question of masculinity, I would say it doesn't exist. The only thing I've heard surrounding the PT Cruiser is how trendy it was when it first came out. That's about it.

Wouldn't say so, but if you have any doubts in your own mind about its physical appearance it would be best not to buy it. Something that will last you for a few good years. Not a fan of the PT Cruisers looks personally but it ain't a Miata so don't really think its a girls car :p

It's not a girls car in the slightest, it is, however, a very love it or hate it car and most people hate it. A salesman at a company I worked for drove one and he was heterosexual. So much so he was bald.

A PT Cruiser is not a girl's car.


It's just a car that nobody in their right minds would ever drive. No offense if the design appeals to you; it's just stupid (in my opinion, obviously). If you like it go for it, but you could not pay me to drive a PT Cruiser (actually, you could >.>).

I hope it's not a girls car because that's what I drive.

I agree with Sarumarine though. That jacked up back end makes going in reverse a pain in the ass. Trying to parallel park in that thing during my driving test was so nerve racking.

Every aspect about the PT Cruiser has been said already so what I'll say to you Percy is that you can find a much better car for 6 grand.

Girl's car, what a load. If it gets you from point A to point B, go for it. I mean, that is the point right?

PT Cruisers are pretty cool looking, if and only if they are black.

Get a Dodge or a Jeep. Jeep Wranglers are cheaper than dirt right now.

Even Dodge Rams are cheap as hell.

They're cheap for the same reasons PT Cruisers are cheap: They're owned by Chrysler

The PT cruiser gets crap gas mileage.  It can be girly, but you can butch it up with some bullet hole decals.

Yes there is such a thing as a girl car.  For one, most white cars are girls cars.  Never buy a white convertible. Second, the only way that the car is not gay is if it is the one with the wooden panels.  If I were you, a tall guy, get a mid size sedan, for fusion, or go for an older For Escape, Honda CRV.  But no, dont get a PT cruiser.

Well there so such thing as a girl car...but I could see you getting ALOT of crap for driving it. I have a friend that does, and we all give him shit. So if you can take the crap, then get it. Its a quality car for a cheap price.

The PT Cruiser isn't a girl's car, its just a badly designed/ugly car. Get a Toyota if you want something that's well built and generally nice lookig

I would advise against buying anything Chrysler-branded at all. Reliability sucks and with the several thousand dealerships closing down, good luck getting it serviced.

That's the same reason I'm looking to buy a Wrangler. I can do the maintenance myself. And they're cheap as dirt.
Reliability is not bad at all if it's before 2006. I have a 2001 Dodge Ram right now. 
I was mudding, rolled it off a cliff. It started right up after all that. Dodges and Jeeps are built like tanks. The worst problem it had before or after that, was the tires got dry-rot on them, and that has nothing to do with it being a Chrysler branded car. It has 175,000 miles on it now, and still no problems. They run forever.
